CFB Esquimalt will finally welcome new military housing in the form of an 84-unit apartment complex.
While 84 units won’t solve the significant housing shortage, Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins says it’s a start. The mayor says more base housing will reduce pressure on other communities where military personnel is currently living. Around 85 per cent of Canadian Armed Forces members find accommodations privately while only 15 per cent opt for military housing, according to the DND.
