             London is moving ahead with a max heat bylawâbut it only covers units that already have A/C. Low-income tenants in the hottest buildings are left out. These are exactly the homes where seniors, newcomers & low-income families face deadly heat.

             ACORN rallied at BC Minister Dixâs office to demand they stop subsidizing natural gas, and start funding ACs. BC is pouring billions into LNG. When ACORN found the office unexpectedly closed, we were told staff opted to WFH rather than meet with us. Shame.

             Developers are demolishing affordable rentals in Brampton and replacing them with luxury units. For every one affordable home built in Canada, fifteen are lost.
