“When it comes to having affordable housing, all Canadians deserve that right. It should not just be a luxury” Carson Arthur - HGTV “On average, housing rental here in Newmarket for a 1 bedroom is: $12-13 hundred, and that’s not including Hydro. I make between $13-14 hundred a month …I wonder where that leaves me to live if the rent is way beyond my Means” Terry , York Region Resident “We at IBM live and work in York Region. Our new professionals that are joining us have a real struggle finding rental housing in York

  • Region. Often having to live in the city and

commute north” Pat Horgan, IBM “ I’m a young professional that has just recently changed careers…Moved back to York Region and…I’m finding it difficult to find affordable housing.” Kieran, Nurse
