A new report from a non-governmental task force highlights the critical role of Canadian provinces in addressing the housing crisis by developing rapid and durable housing policies. The report evaluates provincial governments, placing Alberta at the bottom with a D+ grade while the federal government receives a B. Despite efforts by cities, provinces have lagged in implementing effective housing policies, such as increasing density and updating building codes. The report calls for provinces like Alberta to take more responsibility in sustainable housing construction and in addressing social housing gaps.
