This week twitter exploded in Regina as attendees of the Mayor's 2013 Housing Summit shared their thoughts on the #MHS2013 hashtag. The event "Housing in a Growing Economy" saw around 800 tweets over the 2 days. Now that everything has wrapped up, I thought I would share some of the highlights. Enjoy!
