Public hearings have recently come under scrutiny due to the housing crisis. In fact, some provinces like B.C. have moved towards a prohibition on public hearings. In this interactive session learn from the findings of the Renovate the Public Hearing Initiative, a $2.5 million CMHC-funded program led by Amina Yasin, Director of Planning and Public Hearings at Simon Fraser University’s Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue that has spent the last two years researching, piloting and evaluating alternatives to public hearings and innovative approaches to public participation in land use planning.
This session will delve into the question of ‘what’s the big deal with land use public hearings and what comes after prohibition?’ Come prepared to participate, possibly engage in some deliberative activities and learn more about evidence-based solutions that tackle inequity and increase inclusion, reduce risk in pre-development, and enhance democratic resilience, ranging from procedural changes within public hearings to robust models of upstream engagement such as mini-publics, including B.C and Canada’s first Residents’ Assembly tied to an Official Community Plan and the future of digital engagement platforms.
