Keynote Speaker

Claudette Bradshaw

The "At Home" project by the Mental Health Commission of Canada is testing the “housing first” approach toward reducing homelessness in five sites across Canada, and Claudette Bradshaw is the Moncton site coordinator.

A well known Moncton native, Claudette has been instrumental in developing significant grassroots causes, programs and services throughout her distinguished career in the nonprofit sector. Elected to the House of Commons in 1997, she served with distinction in several key cabinet posts.

Endearingly known as the "Minister of Hugs", Claudette is a knockout speaker who will clearly illustrate the value of affordable housing in building healthy communities.
