North Okanagan Housing Design Competition
Like many communities in Canada, housing affordability and supply are significant challenges for the North Okanagan. The objective of the competition is to reduce barriers for homeowners to add a secondary dwelling on their property by generating pre-approved building plans available for purchase. The pre-approvals and low cost for plans will make the building permit process faster, easier and more affordable, and ultimately add much-needed housing units to our region.
In addition to the cash prizes, the winners will receive a $1,000 royalty each time their plans are purchased through the regional district. The deadline for submissions is March 20, 2023 with winners announced by April 14.
