Political Action

There is strength in numbers, and members of the GOHBA have successfully worked together to promote affordability, accessibility, quality and choice in housing for all Canadians. The GOHBA’s strong liaison with political decision makers has resulted in effective representation on a large number of important housing issues. Through the efforts of the Builder/Developer Council, home buyers will save over $50 million during the next ten years due to development charge reductions of as much as 75% in area municipalities – just one example of how the effective political representation at all levels has resulted in real benefits to association members.
