Delivering the homes needed by British Columbians requires integrating immigration policy within housing policy. One of the panels at Housing BC Together – UBCM’s housing summit – will discuss the significant housing needs facing B.C.’s communities in order to accommodate population growth. The panel for this session includes Dr. Dan Hiebert (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada); Chris Friesen (Chief Operating Officer of the Immigrant Services Society of BC); David van Hemmen (Vice President at the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade) and Anne Kang, Minister of Municipal Affairs, and will be chaired by Councillor Trish Mandewo, City of Coquitlam. |
