Join us for a landmark event uniting leaders, innovators, and decision-makers from across government, industry, and the non-profit sector to address the critical barriers to housing affordability and collaborate on actionable, scalable solutions that can shape the future of housing in Nova Scotia.

Hosted in partnership by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of Nova Scotia (CHBANS), Habitat for Humanity Nova Scotia, and the Nova Scotia Association of REALTORS® (NSAR), this inaugural National Housing Day Summit is where meaningful dialogue turns into measurable progress.
