Controversial housing project in Vancouver begins public consultations

A controversial housing proposal in Vancouver’s West Point Grey neighbourhood begins public consultations this week. The Jericho Lands development, spearheaded by three First Nations, would double the population of the neighbourhood with the creation of about 13,000 new homes. As CBC’s Yasmin Gandham reports, the project is meant to create more affordable housing, although some argue it would take away from the neighbourhood’s character.
