Episode 228: Renoviction Victory

In this episode of Breezy Breakfast we're talking with Stephanie Glendenning, the Executive Director of the Legal Clinic of Guelph and Wellington County.  Glendenning and the clinic have been key plyers in a recent fight against sweeping 'renoviction' notices, also known as an N13's, at Brant Ave in Guelph.  The tenants organized and formed a tenant association, and, with support from the Brant Ave Neighborhood Group and the Legal Clinic of Guelph and Wellington, the N13 notices were rescinded.  Glendenning takes through what that organizing looked like, how renovictions are playing out in Guelph, and what tools are available or missing when it comes to protecting housing security.

Additional shout out to Taylor Pace of Guelph Today who was not able to join us for the discussion, but who's coverage on this issue has been exceptional. 

 

Stephanie Glendenning - assumed the Executive Director role at the Guelph-Wellington Legal Clinic in 2024. With a background in community legal advocacy, she supports tenants navigating housing insecurity and works to advance access to justice across the region.
