It’s striking to note that cities like Vancouver, Winnipeg, Chatham-Kent, and Chilliwack are seeing a rise in homes being built in high flood hazard areas, according to StatsCan. Recent efforts to increase housing supply in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and B.C. have contributed to this trend. As someone who approaches real estate through an analytical lens—shaped by a background in consulting and supply chain management—I always encourage clients to factor in both opportunity and risk when considering properties in these evolving neighbourhoods. Understanding flood zones and long-term value is essential, whether you’re purchasing, selling, or planning renovations. In my experience, informed decision-making is the foundation of wise property investment, especially as communities adapt to new housing demands.
