We’ve seen the benefits of the Foundry model in Squamish, and I’m thrilled we were able to secure funding for Foundry Pemberton. This kind of ‘no-wrong-door’ wrap-around support is foundational to the BC Greens’ approach to wellness.

The new Pemberton Foundry will transform the lives of young people in Mt. Currie, Pemberton & the Southern Stl'atl'imx Nations. Free, timely access to services supporting mental health, harm reduction & primary care will not only improve wellness, but also deepen community connections.

The federal airport lands at YYJ could play a critical role in delivering affordable housing for local workers (and seniors) in a manner that respects the environment and community plans. I’ve been assured by the Minister of Housing that the new advisor will seriously consider the YYJ lands.

North Saanich urgently needs affordable housing, and I hope the special advisor delivers real results. I’m encouraged by the municipality’s willingness to work with the province to increase housing supply. This advisor creates an opportunity for faster input and better outcomes—but it must deliver.
Rob Botterell, MLA for Saanich North and the Islands, says he is supporting the appointment of a new provincial housing advisor in North Saanich by hosting an affordable housing forum in February to hear directly from residents affected by housing decisions
