Campbell River Housing Symposium

March 6, 2026

TICKETS

The goal of the Campbell River Housing Symposium is to foster partnerships for housing and encourage innovative community-based solutions focussed (mostly!) on non-market, low-income/subsidized, and affordable housing.

Using breakout rooms, we also invite front-line housing and homelessness staff to participate!

Sessions include:

  • Plenary Session - The Current State: Housing Need & Development Challenges

  • Development Panel Discussion #1 - Innovation in Housing: Unique and Emerging Models

  • Development Panel Discussion #2 - Making Projects Possible: Partnerships, Funding, and Land

  • Front-line Breakout Session #1: Service Availability for Seniors in Need

  • Front-line Breakout Session #2: Solution-Focused Networking for Service Providers (World Café–style)

Let us introduce you to some of our panelists!

  • Brenda Knights - CEO, BC Indigenous Housing Society

  • Thom Armstrong - CEO, Cooperative Housing Federation

  • Kaeley Wiseman - Principal, Wiser Projects

  • Andrea Blakeman - CEO, Ballenas Housing Society

  • Sandy Mackay - Manager of Community Planning, M'akola Development

  • Alicia Medina - Director of Real Estate Investment, Sacha Investments

While the symposium emphasizes non-market, subsidized, and affordable housing, private market developers are warmly welcomed. We recognize that many of the challenges facing non-profit and private developers—such as construction costs, labour availability, and land acquisition—are shared. This event is designed to foster dialogue across the full housing ecosystem and encourage collaboration that benefits the entire community.

Tickets are $50, lunch and refreshments included! Please reach out directly if cost is a barrier to participation.
