Regina is facing a housing crisis, one of the worst in Canada. We know who speaks for the housing industry – the federal government, the provincial Ministry of Social Services, and Regina’s city council along with the Saskatchewan Home Builders’ Association, the Association of Regina Realtors, the Regina Landlords Association, the Saskatchewan Rental Housing Industry Association, and the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce. But who speaks for the middle and low-income home buyers and renters? Who speaks for us?
