Premier David Eby, Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon, and Victoria Mayor Marianne Alto, delivered an announcement this morning (Oct. 2023) (in the rotunda at the BC Legislature) about the proposed legislation that will return short-term rentals to long-term homes for people and give local governments more tools and resources to ensure that rules are being followed. Alto now has asked for a delay .
I was at the meeting. Council has opted in to the principal residency requirement, effective November 1st. Only councilor Stere and Sawyer voted in opposition.
I disagree with council's decision. But at least it'll stop Trudeau from showing his face on Chesterman's since his regular rental will no longer be available. It'll be nice to not see him. (along with thousands of other guests that used to support the local economy, but now won't be coming. Smooth move, council)
