Had a great time covering the opening of a new affordable housing complex in Victoria for BC Housing. The most compelling speech came from the resident representative Jason Nassichuk sharing how this initiative was making it possible for him and his young family to finally get quality housing at a reasonable rate. A quality initiative and collaboration of several community partners. You can access the full story and media release here: Official Opening Release
