Council adopted the Affordable Housing Policy and Implementation Plan on August 20, 2025. Thank you to everyone that participated in the engagement opportunities and helped shaped the final policy.

The Affordable Housing Policy and Implementation Plan sets strategic direction for the municipality to keep working on affordable housing issues, implements housing policies from the Official Community Plan, and identifies future actions and projects intended to improve housing suitability and affordability in the community.

We want to hear from you

Review the draft policy, and tell us what you think. Are we on the right track? If not, is anything missing, are there areas that need more emphasis?

The survey is now closed, thank you to everyone who provided feedback.

2025 UPDATE: A revised draft Affordable Housing Policy and Implementation Plan is being presented at the Tuesday, August 12, 2025 Special Council meeting. Council deferred the item to be discussed at the August 20, 2025 Council meeting.

The policy has been revised to decrease the emphasis on developer contributions from developers and to increase the emphasis on actions that the Municipality can take and on leveraging other funding sources. Council will consider whether to adopt the policy so that implementation can begin.

The meeting begins at 5pm in Council Chambers and online. You can attend the meeting either in person or virtually.


2023 UPDATE: A report summarizing what was heard is being presented at the Tuesday, Sept 12 Committee of the Whole meeting. The report summarizes the results of public engagement, where residents had the opportunity to provide feedback on the draft Affordable Housing Policy and Implementation Plan. Council will consider what was heard before adopting the policy and/or deciding on next steps.

There is also an opportunity for people to share stories about their experience with the housing crisis, and you can read the stories others have shared. See the 'Stories' tab below.
