Vancouver, Winnipeg Expand Housing with Resilient Flood Zone Plans

As someone who helps clients navigate home buying and selling across Greater Vancouver, I keep a close eye on how our communities are growing. StatsCan recently highlighted a trend: cities like Vancouver, Winnipeg, Chatham-Kent, and Chilliwack are seeing more residential builds in areas with higher flood risks. The drive to expand housing supply, especially in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and B.C., means more homes are going up in these flood-prone zones. For those considering a move or investment, understanding local risks—and how they might affect your long-term plans—is essential. In my approach to strategic home sales and purchases, I always look beyond the listing to help clients make informed decisions that fit their unique goals.
