Media Advisory: BC Real Estate Association, Partners To Issue Urgent Call For Permanent Provincial Housing Policy Roundtable

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Vancouver, Sept. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- We are pleased to invite you to a press conference hosted by the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA), where multiple housing sector and municipal partners will be issuing an urgent call for the BC Government to establish a Permanent Provincial Housing Policy Roundtable .

This initiative was endorsed through a resolution adopted at the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) conference on Friday, September 26, 2025, paving the way for strengthened advocacy at the provincial level with UBCM support.

The permanent roundtable would create a new formalized process for housing policy experts in academia, market, non-market, Indigenous, and municipal sectors to work collaboratively with government to build better housing policy and foster stronger outcomes during an unprecedented housing affordability crisis across British Columbia.

The event will spotlight the coalition formed around this critical work and feature speakers representing municipalities, market, and non-market housing groups.
