Women in Construction Week kicks off March 1-7! 🛠️🏘️🏗️ On the heels of the launch of CHBA's national Women in Residential Construction Council (WIRCC) last year, CHBA is taking this opportunity to kick off a year-round campaign that celebrates the many incredible women who shape the residential construction industry in Canada. Throughout next week, we – together with local and provincial HBAs across the country – will be sharing stories, spotlighting achievements, and amplifying the voices of women in the residential construction industry from coast to coast. Keep a close watch on our social media channels all week long as we highlight the women who play a major role in building and shaping Canada's communities to help inspire the next generation of young people considering a career in the sector. #CHBAWICWeek #CHBAWomenInBuilding

Earlier this week, during #CHBAOnTheHill, CHBA CEO Kevin Lee, @CHBAPresident Curtis Mercer, CHBA Past President Matthew McCurrach, and CHBA Vice President Rick Weste met with federal officials to share CHBA’s recommendations on how to unlock the door to market-rate #affordability for #homeownership. 🔑 Quickly actionable federal items that would help kickstart the creation of new supply immediately include: ✔️ Expanding the GST rebate to all buyers of new homes, including for renovations that result in new units of housing. ✔️ Using all levers to ensure municipalities reduce development charges, including finding fairer alternative funding models for infrastructure upgrades. ✔️ Eliminating the stress test on uninsured mortgages, and making it dynamic on insured mortgages. Thank you to Deputy Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Paul Halucha, Secretary of State for @CanRevAgency and Financial Institutions Wayne Long, and MP and Shadow Minister of Housing @ScottAAitchison (and staff) for the productive discussions. We look forward to further collaboration on policies to support the supply and affordability of market housing. #ICYMI see all of CHBA’s recommendations on the federal role at affordability.ca/information/ho… #cdnpoli

"Homeownership remains a cornerstone of middle-class economic security and social stability. Restoring it will require a comprehensive approach that enables far more homes to be built, and allows young families and new Canadians to enter the market. That cannot happen without clearing the barriers to build more housing faster, and policy change to make ownership more affordable." Read CHBA CEO Kevin Lee's full op-ed in the The Hill Times. ⬇️ CHBA will be bringing recommendations on how to address challenges with #homeownership affordability to federal officials tomorrow at #CHBAOnTheHill. hilltimes.com/story/2026/02/…

NEW ✨ Recent public opinion research conducted by @abacusdataca for CHBA shows that fewer than one in five Canadians are satisfied with current federal action on homeownership #affordability. The federal government is addressing subsidized “affordable” housing through its @BuildCanHomes initiative, which is important, but this will only provide about 1% of the new housing construction needed. CMHC notes that to double housing starts, 75% of the starts will have to be for homeownership. “Canadians want and expect smart federal policies that focus on homeownership,” said CHBA CEO Kevin Lee. “Data shows that the aspiration for homeownership is still strong, but Canadians are pessimistic about their prospects. With that, two thirds place responsibility for the affordability crisis on the federal government, but 62% think current federal plans will have little to no impact. The time for more federal action on homeownership is now, and CHBA has clear, evidence-based recommendations to address many of the factors contributing to today’s affordability crisis, including excessive taxes, restrictive mortgage rules, inefficient municipal processes, costly building code changes, and more.” Read the full release: chba.ca/2026/02/05/lac… #cdnpoli
