As someone deeply involved in both residential and commercial real estate across Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, I pay close attention to how urban growth intersects with environmental realities. StatsCan recently highlighted that cities like Vancouver, Winnipeg, Chatham-Kent, and Chilliwack are seeing more homes built in high flood hazard areas. In particular, recent construction has increased in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and B.C. as communities work to address housing shortages. For those navigating our region’s evolving landscape, understanding where new homes are being developed—and the unique risks that come with these locations—is essential for making confident, well-informed decisions. My commitment to ethical guidance and community development means I’m always watching these trends to help clients build a secure future.
