EVENT DESCRIPTION:

In our 4th series of Expiry of Operating Agreement (EOA) events; over a 130 participants from across Ontario and Canada came together to build their collective capacity, exchange information, learn from housing organizations, and share practices to address the issues and opportunities in planning for a post-expiry environment.

Participants gained valuable insights on:

• Planning for EOA and/or end of debentures
