On behalf of council, Lanark County Warden Toby Randell (Carleton Place Mayor) has declared Nov. 22, 2025 to be National Housing Day in Lanark County.
The day has been designated by the federal government to remind Canadians of the importance of access to safe, adequate and affordable housing. The proclamation recognizes many partners play an important role in providing safe and affordable housing opportunities to those in need.
“Housing plays a critical role in our lives and has a profound impact on our overall well-being,” Randell stated. “Lanark County continues to invest in housing solutions that support vulnerable populations, promote affordability and foster innovation in housing development and service delivery. We honour the lived experiences of individuals and families impacted by housing insecurity and commit to ongoing collaboration to ensure everyone in Lanark County has a place to call home.”
The proclamation encourages residents, businesses and community organizations to recognize the day and to be ready to collaborate with provincial and federal partners to create a future where housing is safe, affordable and accessible to all. ... See MoreSee Less
