Building an inclusive housing future is not just about the homes we create — it’s about who gets the chance to build them.
Across British Columbia, BIPOC-owned construction firms remain severely underrepresented in major housing contracts.
And when whole communities are excluded from the very industry shaping their neighbourhoods, we do more than limit economic opportunity — we limit the futures those communities can build for themselves.
UGTS believes that equity in housing must also mean equity in who designs it, who builds it, and who truly benefits from its growth. Because a just housing system cannot exist if the pathways to participate remain closed to so many.
The 2026 B.C. Stakeholders Summit on Housing & Construction — taking place in March 2026 is opening those pathways. By bringing together leaders, builders, and communities, we are creating space for BIPOC businesses and professionals to take their rightful place at the center of Canada’s housing future — not on the margins of it.
🏠 Let’s build homes, opportunities, and a stronger Canada — together.
