Wildfire Season and Insurance Coverage for Homebuilding
CHBA BC
As many regions of Canada grapple with ongoing wildfires, homebuilders need to understand the risk fires pose to construction sites. It's vital to have a full understanding of the impact the risk of wildfires can have on insurance coverage.
The advice of the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) to home builders whose projects may be at risk of being affected by wildfires is to work directly with their brokers/insurance representatives. They should maintain constant communication on their circumstances to find solutions that best meet and work for their individual situation.
In May 2022, CHBA BC hosted a webinar on what builders should know about insurance and wildfire season. As the information is still very relevant, we've uploaded the recording to our YouTube channel. Click here to watch.
IBC has many resources regarding wildfires, including information on insurance coverage and the various stages of the claims process.

Civic Development Fees Collide with B.C. Housing Targets
Business in Vancouver
The B.C. government has placed Vancouver and nine other municipalities in the province on a "housing target" list in what is a legislative-driven push to get cities to build more homes — and build them faster.
