This year Multifaith Housing Initiative’s annual “Tulipathon” walk to raise money for subsidizing rents at MHI dwellings will be a little different.  Participants are asked to do a 3 km. “Solo Stroll” or a “Hike at Home” rather than the usual gathering at Dow’s Lake to walk amid the tulips. Besides fundraising, the aim is to raise public awareness about the need in Ottawa for affordable and good quality housing for people on low income.  Click title to see more...
