Introducing September's episode:

Episode Summary

This month's podcast shares the Declarations of Possibility statements spoken from people who attended the Tiny Homes Summit in September 2023.

Episode Notes

At the summit, folks gathered from communities across Ontario and Quebec to discuss solutions to the housing concerns whether they were personal or professional. We had many meaningful conversations on a variety of topics, which inspired us all and led us to proclaim in a group our Declarations of Possibility, using "I believe we can" and "I believe we are" statements. After listening let us know:

What has been made possible for you from hearing these statements?
What do you believe we can do?
What do you believe we are?
