City Council authorized one-time funding of $35,000 to the Learning Enrichment Foundation to support the planning and co-hosting of the Mount Dennis for All symposium and it is now scheduled for April 2025. The Learning Enrichment Foundation has advised that their projected costs are now $50,000; and as such, has requested an increase of $15,000 to cover the costs. These expenses include consultant fees, keynote speaker, and honoraria fees; catering; outreach and communications; and accessibility services. The Housing Secretariat supports providing these additional funds to the Learning Enrichment Foundation and has funds available in its budget.
