  • Series
  • 1984-2011

The series consists of the records of the BC Housing Management Commission’s (BC Housing) Board of Commissioners and Chief Executive Officer. These records document the decision-making of the board and the development, implementation, operation and evaluation of the commission’s mandates and policies. This series consists of board of directors, development committee, and executive committee meeting materials, policy review documents, business plans, board resolutions, and program initiatives/plans. The meeting minutes and policies reflect how BC Housing creates housing options for the most vulnerable communities in the province and how they strengthen consumer protection for new homebuyers and improve the quality of residential construction under the Homeowner Protection Act (SBC 1998, c. 31). These records were created between 1984-2011 in British Columbia.

This series is arranged by meeting type and date. The records consist of minutes, agendas, correspondence, submissions, workplans, reports, financial statements, and manuals. These records are covered under the Executive Records schedule (102906). The files were also assigned an ARCS (Administrative Records Classification System) number and acronym that identifies the type of committee meeting.
