Cross-sector leaders from the arts, business, non-profit, and government sectors are invited to come together to cultivate consensus and urgency to move forward with Groundstory, an emerging collective impact collaboration to address the drivers and adverse ripple effects of gentrification in Toronto, Hamilton, and other communities across Ontario.

Are you an artist or arts professional experiencing first-hand the negative impacts of gentrification? Are you being priced out of your studio or home? Have you already or are you currently considering moving to a new neighbourhood or a new city due to a lack of affordable cultural spaces and housing? Considering leaving the arts sector altogether?
