Mayor Paul Lefebvre describes why the city needs more houses, his plan to get them built and how it can be down without contributing to urban sprawl
All levels of government acknowledge the importance of access to housing. Yet right now, many regions across the country are facing housing challenges, due in part to factors like rising inflation rates, changing demographics and ongoing supply chain issues.
A Housing Supply Strategy that encourages thoughtful, targeted and sustainable residential development is one piece of a broader strategy to grow our population and local economy. To ensure that our city is a welcoming place for all, we need a robust supply of housing to accommodate the evolving needs and life stages of families, groups and individuals.
While the city does provide transitional and community housing services, we are not in the business of building houses. Rather, through issuing permits and providing planning, zoning and engineering functions, the city impacts the pace and direction of private sector development. Right now, around 6,300 residential units have been approved by the city through draft approved subdivisions and site plans — but not yet built.
