Why This Matters: Own a single-family home in Coquitlam? Your neighbour could soon build a fourplex next door. Live near a SkyTrain station? Expect taller buildings. The city warns property taxes might go up to pay for parks and rec centres that developers used to fund.

Saskatoon recently allowed up to four homes on lots that used to have just one. Now the city is reviewing the detailed rules—like how tall buildings can be, how close to property lines, and how much yard space is required. The goal is to add more...
Why This Matters: Live in an older Saskatoon neighbourhood? These rules affect what can be built next door. Thinking of adding a suite or splitting your lot? This review could make it easier—or harder. Renters looking for more options should pay attention too.

Victoria, BC
Victoria is rethinking how much parking new buildings need to provide. Right now, developers must build a set number of parking spots. The city wants to update these rules to support more affordable housing and better manage curb space for bikes...
Why This Matters: Building parking is expensive—and those costs get passed on to renters and buyers. Fewer required spots could mean cheaper housing. If you drive, you might worry about finding street parking. If you bike or take transit, you might benefit from more curb space for those uses.

A property owner near Stewart Lake accidentally built their garage over the property line. Now they need government approval to shift the lot boundary by about 7.5 metres to fix the mistake. This is a routine lot addition that doesn't change how the...
Why This Matters: This one's pretty local. If you're a neighbour on Stewart Lake, you might want to know about changes to nearby property lines. For everyone else, this is a routine fix for a construction mistake that doesn't affect the broader community.
