About the Webinar:
In the midst of BC’s ongoing housing crisis, increasing attention has been placed on the need to densify growing municipalities. Heritage neighbourhoods—often family-oriented and centrally located—have an important role to play in this conversation. In this webinar, Dan Winer and Andrew Bjorn from Small Housing BC, shared their work advocating for gentle densification in established neighbourhoods. They were joined by Laura Saretsky, Heritage Planner at the City of Victoria, to discuss where housing and heritage priorities align. Together, they explored how collaboration and shared advocacy can help communities meet critical housing needs while continuing to care for the places we value.
