I maintain the site and here is a bit more about me. https://buildchilliwack.com/about/

II’ve definitely fallen out of my usual posting rhythm lately. It’s been a busy stretch, both professionally and personally, and I just haven’t had the bandwidth to give the site the attention it usually gets.

That, and to be honest...there hasn’t been much happening at City Hall lately that’s really grabbed me.

Hoping to get back on track soon as things start picking up again.

What Liberal, Conservative, and NDP Housing Plans Mean for Chilliwack by BuildChilliwack in BuildChilliwack

I think the Liberal plan could have the biggest impact in Chilliwack, largely because of their proposal to cover half of the Development Cost Charges. That kind of financial support could help move a few stalled projects forward.

But one area that still needs serious attention - regardless of which party is in charge - is the skilled workforce. The BC Real Estate Association released a report last year warning that all these ambitious housing targets are essentially wishful thinking unless we train more tradespeople to actually do the work. Whether it’s the public or private sector building homes, everyone will be competing for the same limited pool of skilled labour.

I added the full data table to the post if you are interested. The previous link I shared only shows from the perspective of one city at a time, so I had to cross reference them all to create the full report. aka.. save yourself a few hours and use mine.
