Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart voiced his frustrations about B.C.'s new housing legislation at a recent town hall, most notably about the strains its caused for city workers.
Two co-ops in Coquitlam's City Centre neighbourhood are the first to be purchased through B.C.'s Rental Protection Fund so its residents can stay in their homes.
Port Coquitlam recently voted a pay increase of 12.5 per cent, with Mayor Brad West to make roughly $142,000 per year and more than $49,000 for councillors.
