Sponsor: Elisabeth PrassIntroduced October 9, 2025Last checked August 30, 2026

What this bill does

This Quebec bill officially designates the third Friday in October as National Homelessness Awareness Day, aligning with the existing Nuit des sans-abris event held annually since 1989.

Plain-language summary by Legisail.

Business impact

This bill is primarily symbolic and ceremonial in nature, with no direct operational impact on businesses of any size, industry, or region. It does not impose any obligations, costs, or changes to how any business operates day-to-day. Organizations in the social services or nonprofit sector working on homelessness issues may find increased public attention on this designated day useful for fundraising or advocacy, but even that effect is informal and voluntary.
