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.

A workshop on BC’s Rental Protection Fund, a groundbreaking initiative supporting the community housing sector in acquiring existing, deeply affordable rental buildings, addressing a critical gap in housing policy – the erosion of affordability in the private rental market. The Fund has developed a suite of data-driven Business Intelligence tools, mapping platforms and real-time analytics dashboards to monitor key performance indicators for both internal and external use. The Fund will preview its Strategic Housing Acquisition Resource Platform (SHARP) which is a cloud-based mapping application designed to help non-profit applicants identify strategic and impactful acquisitions through the Fund. SHARP leverages a robust data library of government-owned and community housing sector properties to provide location-based insights in addition to real estate inventory and transaction data.
