Federal Government Set to Announce Housing Strategy in Calgary

The federal government is poised to unveil a significant housing announcement in Calgary, addressing local infrastructure and economic development needs. Corey Hogan, MP for Calgary Confederation, will represent Housing and Infrastructure Minister Gregor Robertson during the event scheduled for Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at 10:30 AM MT. The announcement will take place on the 16th floor at 800 6th Avenue SW.

This anticipated announcement follows growing demands for affordable housing and strategic infrastructure in Calgary, a city currently experiencing one of the tightest housing markets in the country. Rapid population growth has consistently driven up rental costs and home prices, making access to affordable housing a pressing concern for many residents. The collaboration involving the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) underscores a commitment to addressing these critical housing challenges while simultaneously enhancing Calgary’s economic landscape.

Local leaders and residents are encouraged to attend and stay informed about the potential impacts on urban development and housing policy. This federal investment could offer crucial support as Calgary strives for sustainable growth amidst its current housing pressures.
