Description

Panel Discussion on Housing Affordability & Infrastructure 

Big conversations, real impact—this is one you don’t want to miss.

Join the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce for a timely and insightful Housing & Infrastructure Forum, bringing together the leaders shaping the future of our region. This high-impact panel features the Honourable Christine Boyle, Minister of Housing, Kevin Quinn, CEO of TransLink, Mayor Richard Stewart (City of Coquitlam), and Mayor Brad West (City of Port Coquitlam). Guiding the conversation is Theresa Rawle, Director of Planning & Development at the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (VFPA).

Housing availability, transportation networks, and infrastructure investment are no longer abstract policy topics—they directly affect your workforce, your customers, and your bottom line. This is your opportunity to hear firsthand how decisions are being made, what’s coming next, and how it will impact the Tri-Cities business landscape.

Whether you're navigating talent retention, planning for growth, or simply trying to understand what’s around the corner, this event will connect policy and business reality. You’ll leave with valuable insights, a fresh perspective, and a stronger sense of how to position your organization in a rapidly evolving region.

Plus, it’s a chance to be in the room with fellow business and community leaders who care about where we’re headed—and want to be part of shaping it.
