Dalia Al-Hussaini (she/her) is a renter, and professional facilitator focused on building networks of support between neighbours, so people feel connected and able to rely on each other when it matters.

As a mother, she understands the stress of trying to make ends meet when childcare is either impossible to find or costs more than an entire paycheque. It’s the reason so much of her work in municipal research and public engagement has focused on affordable housing, childcare, and making communities more inclusive.

Dalia has spent her career building bridges between Indigenous, immigrant, and settler communities. She’s seen how decision-making stalls when people talk past each other and knows how important it is that policy is made to serve the people.
