This is a joint event hosted by the PIBC Southcoast Chapter and BC Housing.  With a rapidly aging population in British Columbia, the demand for age-friendly and accessible housing is rising fast. How can we design homes that meet the needs of seniors and those with disabilities while adapting to trends like climate change, remote work, and multi-generational living?

Join us to explore emerging trends in age- and accessibility-friendly housing design, updates to the 2024 building code, and the changing ways that we are using our homes to live and work. Earn 2.5 PIBC Continuing Professional Development CPL credits while gaining valuable insights! 

What you'll learn:

• Why investing in age-friendly and accessible housing makes sense
• The technical requirements in the 2024 BC Building Code related to adaptable housing
• What we've learned from the City of Vancouver's Adaptable Housing Bylaw
• How climate change, remote working, multi-generational living shape home design
• How to design living spaces and select fixtures and appliances for accessibility, comfort and safety

After Feb 5th, this webinar will be posted on online.
