December 31, 2016
Iris Canada made news in April and September 2016 as the trials and tribulations of her fight to age in place with a covenant she had paid for to stay in her apartment of over 50 years was being challenged as the new owner of her building allegedly wanted to skirt around San Francisco condo-conversion laws resulting in an effort to evict her. Through it all, she remained steadfast and received support of groups like The Housing Committee of San Francisco. Ms. Canada inspired many during the Christmas Holidays by playing Santa and giving back. See exclusive photos shared with Wright Enterprises of her giving and her honors.
