Lesli BoldtPremier Eby announces that BC will have a housing minister who is solely dedicated to housing issues and doesn’t have any other portfolio responsibilities. Good move. Says BC will implement the most ambitious housing plan in North America - here’s hoping. #bcpoli #housingcentral
Premier Eby notes an issue that has come up more than once today - how non-profit housing is rejected at municipal level. Highlights new legislation to partner w/municipalities to remove barriers to needed housing, while supporting new infrastructure for communities. #bcpoli #housingcentral
Delightful to see surprise guest @Dave_Eby at #HousingCentral Conference today. Talking about his own experience in housing advocacy in the #DTES. #vanpoli #bcpoli
Bullard is now talking about how racialized neighbourhoods, public housing residents and neighbourhoods w/elderly much more vulnerable to harmful pollution and lack of green space - a 1:1 relationship between racist land use planning and zoning and enviro harm. #housingcentral @BCNPHA
Delighted that Dr. Robert Bullard is talking about environmental justice and climate action that meets the needs of communities at the #HousingCentral conference - after we discussed energy poverty this morning. Environmental justice is housing justice. 👏🏻 #environmentaljustice
BCNPHAThe 2022 #HousingCentral Conference is off to a flying start here in Vancouver. 1,600 folks from across BC and beyond are here to connect, learn and share ideas about making #affordablehousing progress. Can't beat this atmosphere!
Presenter Jen Arntfield from CMHC is talking about energy poverty in affordable housing; older buildings are expensive for tenants to heat, making a business case for energy upgrades (in addition to the obvious GHG reduction benefits). #housingcentral
At the @BCNPHA #housingcentral Conference, at an absolutely packed session for the funders' panel (no surprises about why everybody's here). Will keep folks updated on interesting content here at the conference over the next couple of days!
JJ BreakspearIt's great to be back to an in-person #HousingCentral conference. Already loving the energy and the hallway conversations over #coffee.
