B.C. Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon announced Thursday he is appointing advisers for West Vancouver and Oak Bay .

The two municipalities failed to come close to building the number of units they were required to build to under the Housing Supply Act .

West Vancouver had been expected to build 220 homes between September 2023 and September 2024 .

Oak Bay was to build 58 units but only completed 16 .

Conservative housing critic Linda Hepner said the NDP should continue to expect resistance to its housing policies until communities are actually given a proper seat at the table.

Hepner: The province’s approach has been the sheer lack of consultation with municipalities.

“I just don’t think we’ve ever had that conversation,” said Hepner .
