Pemberton’s mayor and council considered the implications of future population growth at a Committee of the Whole meeting on Nov. 28—and what the town might look like when its population hits 5,000.
At the meeting, officials held a workshop on affordable housing to work through problems residents are currently facing, and to predict other issues coming down the line. The open discussion was casual, and served as a starting point for future talks based on some of B.C.’s new housing laws.
