Dry conditions with low snow pack continue across much of BC GovernmentofBC 2024-04-16 | BC is a great place to build a life and enjoy the natural beauty of our province. But our weather and climate is getting more extreme and unpredictable. Dry conditions with low snow pack continue across much of BC. Right now, the province has the lowest levels of snow pack in more than 50 years, at 37% below average.

Helping people like Albert find a home they can call their own | Keremeos, British Columbia GovernmentofBC 2023-11-21 | We're taking action to deliver more homes for people like Albert. Everyone wants to find a home they can afford and build a good life in the community they love. But for too many, that feels out of reach. We’re making real progress - nearly 77,000 homes delivered or underway, with tens of thousands more to come. Homes like the one Albert lives in in Keremeos. We're also facing new challenges in a global housing affordability crisis. We’re taking action to meet these challenges head-on and deliver more homes for people, faster. That includes rules to rein in the rapidly expanding short-term rental market and deliver more diverse housing and livable communities near transit. New changes will mean more people have a home they can afford that meets their needs. Seniors can live in dignity, young people can build a good life, and students can find the housing they need to attend school. More affordable housing means the people who work here and drive our economy can stay in the communities they love. People are calling on us to deliver more and that's exactly what we're doing. Learn more about the Homes for People Action Plan here: SstrongerBC.gov.bc.ca/Housing#AffordableHousing #HousingSupport #BCHousing #BritishColumbia
Taking action to build more homes near transit GovernmentofBC 2023-11-09 | People in BC need more types of homes in communities they love. Right now, outdated zoning rules limit most new builds to either tall condos or single-family homes – but very little in between. This makes it challenging for young families, aspiring homeowners and seniors to find homes that work for them. To allow for more new homes like townhomes, triplexes and laneway suites, we're taking strong action to remove zoning barriers, while also working to build more vibrant neighbourhoods near transit hubs.Learn more: strongerbc.gov.bc.ca/housing
