Bill 10 is here, and with it comes a new law that increases landlord responsibility for drug-related activity in rentals. We’re watching closely to see how this plays out, especially for housing providers and tenants navigating complex challenges.

C'est la Journée de sensibilisation à la santé mentale des hommes. 67 % des hommes n'ont jamais consulté un professionnel. La moitié d'entre eux déclarent ne pas bénéficier d'un soutien social suffisant. Un homme sur quatre est exposé au risque de dépression.
