2021

We know that participating in elections during a pandemic is not easy, and we appreciate all tenants who choose to take part. We will be using feedback from communities in phase one to update the process for the rest of the phases.

Communities in phase two are expected to have established their tenant leadership (Tenant Elections completed) by the end of April 2021. Communities in phase three will complete their elections be the end of June 2021. We will reopen the Community Representative nomination and Building/Townhouse Committee open call processes for communities in phase two in early 2021.
