Episode Details

Winnipeg’s housing crisis is hitting hard—rents are soaring, people are losing their homes, and finding affordable shelter is tougher than ever. While city plans like OurWinnipeg 2045 and Complete Communities 2.0 aim to build more homes, new developments often spark backlash, like the controversial 120-unit tower on Des Meurons Street. With decades of real estate experience—from big developments to affordable housing—this speaker knows stable housing is non-negotiable. They’ve worked across Western Canada with First Nations, non-profits, and government, seeing firsthand the urgent need. Officials are investing heavily, and smart, inclusive projects should be welcomed—even if they’re not perfect. Community input matters, but ignoring the crisis won’t fix it. Winnipeg can’t solve its housing woes without building more homes—especially affordable ones—that fit existing infrastructure and diverse needs. Every new unit is a step forward.
