As you know, the Urban Development Institute (UDI) and its members are well positioned to assist your government in this endeavor. However, we need the province and local governments to take substantive and immediate steps to enable our members to continue to employ British Columbians and build homes and office space. These steps include: • A one-year suspension of any new requirements, fees, charges, taxes and amenity contributions that add costs/delays to projects; • Applying the same property tax reductions and deadline extensions that were announced for commercial land owners to Class 1 residential building sites that are exempt from the Speculation and Vacancy Tax (SVT) and Purpose Built Rental (PBR) buildings; • Applying the SVT exemptions for sites under development and PBR to the Additional School Tax for the next year; • Remove development land and unsold inventory from the Empty Homes Tax for the next year; • Permanently extending the timelines set out in Policy Statements 5 and 6 issued by the Superintendent of Real Estate (pursuant to the Real Estate Development Marketing Act (REDMA)) to allow for an early marketing period of 12 months and a 15-month period to obtain a building permit and satisfactory financing commitment before buyers can unilaterally terminate their pre-sale contracts.

  • BC Veterinarians Need Your Help Combined
    Hello If you wish to help BC veterinarians address the shortage of veterinarians, you may wish to write your local MLA and ask them to support and increase to the number of BC students trained as veterinarians. Below is a sample email for you to send to your local MLA. You can also add to the email or replace it with your own. After the sample email, on page 2 and 3, is a list of all MLA email addresses to help you to find your MLA contact information. Should you wish to learn more about the shortage of veterinarians and the need for additional BC students to be trained as veterinarians, please scroll down to page 4 to read our summary document. Your help is greatly appreciated! Dear MLA, I wish to add my name to the list of British Columbians who find the shortage of veterinarians in BC unacceptable. We understand that BC can add an additional 20 BC student seats to BC’s regional veterinary college, but that the government declined to do so, citing costs. In the interest of animal health and welfare issues including relief from suffering and unnecessary death, public health, and biosecurity for BC, we ask you to ask the Minister of Advanced Education Anne Kang to fund an additional 20 BC seats at WCVM effective immediately. As a BC resident, I want my voice added as an individual who cares about the health and welfare of animals and who wishes the government to provide funding to help alleviate the shortage of veterinarians in BC.
