B.C. names 10 cities for faster development to help address housing crisis

BY The Canadian Press, May 31, 2023 8:46 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Kahlon says the government chose the first 10 communities based on the needs in the province and projected growth.

British Columbia's housing minster says more homes will be built sooner under a plan to set construction targets in 10 cities or municipalities in an effort to fast track development.

Ravi Kahlon announced housing targets will be set for Vancouver, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Delta, Port Moody, Abbotsford, Victoria, Oak Bay, Saanich and Kamloops.

Kahlon says the government chose the first 10 communities based on the needs in the province and projected growth.

The targets won't be released to the public until this summer, but Kahlon says they'll be meeting with the cities in the next few weeks to allow them to assess the proposal.
