To support resident organisations in addressing local issues, CAN regularly hosts webinars as part of its mission to build robust community resources. You can watch them here at your convenience. This month’s webinar focused on rates boycotts.

Rates boycotts are an emotional and appealing option for residents frustrated with poor service delivery. However, they have been unsuccessful and deemed unlawful in the past. Chantelle Gladwin-Wood of HBG Schindler’s Attorneys joined us to discuss the legal aspects of boycotts and how to hold municipalities accountable without risking disconnection. Watch here.

In the webinars below we have thought-provoking discussions with community leaders and professionals tackling the issues facing communities today. Explore, learn, and share!
