For generations, a detached house with a yard was the picture of a Canadian family home. But in cities like Toronto and Vancouver, that dream is becoming a pipe dream. So what comes next?
We’ve been working on an answer with Uytae Lee from About Here, and we’d love for you to see it first. On Wednesday, November 25, the Missing Middle Initiative and About Here are hosting the Toronto debut screening of our film, Is This Canada's Next Family Home? It examines the rise of multiplexes across the country and the forces shaping them.
After the screening, Mike Moffatt, Uytae Lee and Cara Stern will sit down for a panel on the future of family-oriented housing in Canada. Then stick around and hang out with fellow neighbours and new friends.
The evening is presented by More Neighbours Toronto, and it’s pay what you can. We'd love to see you there.

When: Wednesday, November 25, 6:30 to 9:30 PM
