How will Vancouver’s latest affordable housing initiative change the face of the city? Join me, Jacquie McCarnan, as I reveal the transformative plans for the underutilized ICBC building at Lonsdale Quay. This episode of Keeping it Real shines a spotlight on my non-profit, North Van Cares, recognized recently by the Canadian Real Estate Association, and dives into the exciting collaboration with the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations to provide affordable housing for essential service workers. We’ll also revisit the buzzworthy topics of stigmatized properties and real estate-related murders, and provide crucial insights from past episodes.
Get ready for a deep look into public reactions, the allocation of non-market housing units, and the qualification criteria for these new homes. We’ll discuss the rapid developments under the NDP's BC Builds legislation and voice concerns over potential disruptions to transit at Lonsdale Quay. This episode is a call to all residents to stay engaged, share their views, and understand the profound impact of this project on our community. Make sure to download or subscribe to Keeping it Real on your preferred platform, and celebrate Canada Day with an informed perspective on the future of housing in Vancouver!
