In December 2020, the AIBC transitioned ministries from the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training to the Ministry of Attorney General. The Honourable David Eby, Q.C., Attorney General and Minister Responsible for Housing has asked the AIBC to provide observations and comments related to the development, design, and construction of affordable housing in British Columbia. Minister Eby acknowledges that there is no simple solution to affordable housing in the province, but recognizes that architects are uniquely positioned to provide helpful and practical observations.
While this project falls outside the AIBC’s mandate as a regulator and we have not previously engaged with government on public policy related to housing affordability, we recognize it is a request for which AIBC registrants may have insightful comments and suggestions. Therefore, AIBC Council approved the formation of a task force who prepared survey questions for AIBC registrants.
This survey is anonymous and will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. The deadline to complete the survey is April 21, 2022 – your feedback is most appreciated.

After the survey closes, the task force will collate the responses, and share the key findings and themes with the Ministry.
If you have any questions about the survey, please email communications@aibc.ca.
