Watch the RecordingPublic land has become a lightning rod in the housing conversation in Canada. With millions of units to build, and rising costs of land, construction, and labour, why aren’t we using land that is already in the public trust? In this panel, experts will discuss what public land exists, how we currently use it, and what’s stopping us from leveraging this resource to it’s full extent.
