On January 26, 2024, the Housing Task Force (a subcommittee of PIBC’s Policy and Public Affairs Committee) met with the PIBC Board of Directors and Ministry of Housing representatives to discuss immediate Peer Learning Network (PLN) actions to support practitioners and local governments in implementing the Province’s new housing legislation.

The following actions were identified for immediate implementation:

1. Provision of peer support at the regional level, including sharing information and approaches specific to each region across the province.
2. Access by local governments to targeted legal guidance to support the revision of their zoning bylaws and other regulations.
3. Development of a digital knowledge centre to centralize information delivery and sharing, and to facilitate timely access to emerging and best practices.
