Young citymakers will lead a discussion about one of Vancouver’s hottest topics for young people: Affordability.
Panelists: Katelyn McDougall, Darren Proulx, Melanie Matining, Brandon Yan. Moderator: Micthell Reardon.
In the face of skyrocketing housing prices and shrinking vacancy rates, there is no shortage of opinions on how affordability is impacting young people. That said, it’s less common to hear opinions directly from young people themselves. Presented by Metropolitan Collective and Two by Fore, a diverse panel of young citymakers will share their views on array of questions ranging from the basics – renting, buying, should I stay or should I go? – to the complex – entitlement, Airbnb and who’s not in the room?
Drawing on their distinct and related city making backgrounds, the panel will additionally address affordability beyond housing, offering interactive discussion relating to mobility, space for leisure and coping strategies.
Two by Fore is the content partner for the event, hosting Dear City of Glass, a web series of videos and blog posts on Vancouver affordability. Two by Fore will have a video booth set up at the event to capture your own Vancouver affordability story.
