UBCM leaders call on B.C. to fill housing gaps that led to increased homelessness

VICTORIA - Municipal leaders in British Columbia are calling on the provincial government to fill housing gaps that have been pressing for "far too long" and have increased homelessness in their communities.

At a news conference Monday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, Victoria Mayor Marianne Alto said the BC Urban Mayors' caucus is joining local leaders at the convention to tell David Eby's government to step up.
