Advocacy
The government relations activity plays an important role in the success of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC and the residential construction industry. Together with our affiliated local associations and CHBA National body in Ottawa, we are strongly positioned to bring industry related concerns to the government on behalf of all members at the local, provincial and national levels.
Advocacy Update
In coordination with CHBA BC’s Government Relations Committee, we are tracking all advocacy and government relations activities and report on these efforts via direct member emails and our Advocacy Update newsletter.
In a rapidly changing and heavily regulated industry, staying up-to-date is essential, and we are committed to providing you with timely insights and alerts to support your success.
Policy Priorities
CHBA BC and its members work actively towards improving housing affordability across the province by building more homes. To enable the building sector to build much-needed housing supply, CHBA BC advocates to government on behalf of members on the following policy priorities:
1. Streamline the Approvals Process
2. Prioritize Growing Skilled Trades
3. Reduce the Cost to Build Homes
4. Enable Low Carbon Solutions for New Homes
Legislature Day
In November 2023, delegates from all 8 of CHBA BC’s local associations came together for our Legislature Day in Victoria. This event was all about demonstrating to MLAs the industry expertise our members can provide on housing policy.

The Canadian Home Builders’ Association of British Columbia is actively engaged in many issues related to the residential construction industry.
