Participated on a wonderful panel at #housingcentral about #housing policy as it relates to non market development. We had as many laughs as serious commentary. The session was packed. As I prepared, I forced myself to look at BC’s housing trajectory from 10K feet. What I saw🧵
🏘️ At #HousingCentral, Metro Vancouver hosted a site tour of Kingston Gardens in Surrey — a newly completed redevelopment with 85 rental homes. Features include accessible design, energy-efficient construction, and community spaces.

Harrison Mooney presenting at Housing Central.
The last 3 days at #HousingCentral have been fantastic (although I must admit I’ve been a little distracted since Monday!). This morning we had a truly excellent keynote from @harrisonmooney.bsky.social with his great telling of Black history in BC, including his new portmanteau Hegemonologue!
Change is constant in the housing sector. Jay Kiew, the final 2025 #HousingCentral keynote, discussing how to adopt a change fluency mindset. "Most people try to respond to disruption by shifting what we do. But the real accelerator is in transforming how we think."
Always a wonderful part of the #HousingCentral Conference experience! 🎨 This year's Art Expo features work from talented local artists.
We're grateful to have Harrison Mooney, author of the memoir Invisible Boy, on the #HousingCentral stage. Thank you for the unflinching discussion of your experience of transracial adoption, the complicated identity of governor James Douglas and BC's long-ignored Black History.
Big terrifying keynote speech this morning on my very personal connection to Black history in BC for #HousingCentral. Will I forget how to read? Probably not. Nevertheless the anxiety persists
