Through BC Builds, we’re building the housing people need, now. Some would leave the housing market in the hands of speculators, we disagree.

We added new sites for development. That’s more homes for people, and we're just getting started.

Middle-income folks like teachers, nurses and construction workers, keep our communities and our province running. They need to find a decent place to live within their budget. Our BC Builds plan is adding more pre-zoned housing sites on public lands across BC.

Our communities and our economy depend on our workers and they depend on being able to find a decent place to live that fits in their budget.
That’s why we’re transforming underused public land throughout the province into thousands of lower-cost, middle income rental homes.

Recent data shows there are 19,000 entire homes in BC listed as short-term rentals. New short-term rental rules begin in BC on May 1. This is one of the actions we're taking to deliver more homes for people, faster. gov.bc.ca/ShortTermRenta…

My heart is with the family and friends of Tatjana Stefanski and the entire #LumbyBC community. We must put an end to such abhorrent acts of violence. #EndViolenceAgainstWomen

People deserve equal pay for equal work. Pay discrimination is prohibited by the Human Rights Code, and our communities are stronger when everyone is treated equally. However, too many women in B.C. are still making less than men.
