Keynote Speaker - Marie-Josée Houle, Federal Housing Advocate - Ignite Change 2023 Global Human Rights Convention

The Ignite Change Global Convention is thrilled to announce our Day 8 Keynote speaker, Canadian Federal Housing Advocate - Ms. Marie-Josée Houle!

Ms. Houle’s appointment as the Canadian Federal Housing Advocate marks a new chapter in a career defined by her work in the affordable housing and homelessness sector. Ms. Houle is an experienced leader recognized for her community activism, expertise in human rights, and extensive knowledge of the housing and homelessness system.

Most recently, she was the Executive Director for Action-Logement, an Ottawa-based housing loss prevention organization. Her diverse experience in the housing sector spans development consultation and project management for affordable housing developments, advocating for tenants rights at all three levels of government, and working with diverse partners to address human rights violations related to housing and homelessness. Building a sense of community and supporting and amplifying marginalized voices is particularly important to her.

We’re excited to welcome Marie-Josée Houle as our keynote speaker on December 8th, which will focus on the theme: Dignity in Poverty: Building a Just Future.
