Hello Faculty of Arts Students,
The Ryerson Habitat for Humanity is having an event called Campus Coalition Home-a-thon 2012. On January 27th, 2012, university and college students across the GTA will gather at Ryerson University to raise awareness about poverty housing in Toronto. Together, student groups will experience overcrowding and sub-standard housing on a personal level by attempting to 'live' in small cabins.
Throughout the day, live music, speakers and games will take place as we occupy the cabins, representing the idea of poverty and sub-standard housing. Media will be present as students unite to raise awareness about the need for low-income housing in Toronto.
