[email protected] www.onpha.on.ca Welcome to the 2014 ONPHA Conference and Trade Show! he theme of this year’s conference is “making an impact.” That’s something housing providers do in their work every day. For tenants living in non-profit Thousing, an affordable home is the start of something better. By creating and maintaining affordable homes, our members make a positive impact in the lives of hundreds of thousands of low- and middle-income Ontarians. With more than 1,000 delegates each year, this is the largest non-profit housing conference in Canada. Over the coming days, we invite you to network with your peers, meet suppliers and vendors, and learn from experts who are driving change in our sector. Together, we’ll celebrate tenants, staff members, and board members who have excelled in their service and have helped shape vibrant, sustainable communities. Keith Hambly 3 This year we are offering more than 80 conference and Education Day sessions – a testament to the diversity of our sector and the challenges and opportunities we face.
