The City of Regina is hosting a public consultation Tuesday evening to discuss condo conversion policy in Regina. A review of the policy comes after rising propery values caused some property developers to come down with a case of condo-mania last year. In the ensuing conversion applications, some renters felt they were being pushed out the door, and various neighbourhood and anti-poverty groups raised concerns about the potential loss of affordable housing stock. Property developers argued that rules to restrict conversions were unfair to them. The prairie dog has followed the issue closely and is a good source of information.

The consultation will be held Tuesday, June 22, 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the Cathedral Neighbourhood Centre, 2900 13th Ave. Anyone with an interest in housing issues should attend. Interested parties may also send written comments to
