2024 Provincial Election Toolkit
CHBA BC Education
As British Columbians prepare to cast their votes in this Saturday's provincial election, housing affordability will be at the forefront of many voters' minds. CHBA BC has compiled an Election Toolkit to ensure our members, industry stakeholders and the public are informed on the most pressing issues related to homebuilding.
Inside, you'll find quick facts about homebuilding, key insights on the three major parties' platforms, and policy recommendations that could impact our industry and communities.
We've also included a series of our most recent backgrounders on key issues our association actively advocates for.
We encourage you to take a moment to explore the toolkit, familiarize yourself with the candidates in your electoral district, and prepare to make informed choices at the polls.
Let's ensure the collective voice of the homebuilding industry is heard by getting out to vote on Saturday, October 19.
