🌍 Migration fuels growth in St. John’s.

📊 5,000 new residents in 2021–2022
✈️ 79% international (3,900 people)
🚶 From across NL & Canada too

We need newcomer families, but housing must be affordable and free from discrimination.

Rent is up, vacancies are down, and affordable units are vanishing. NL lost 1,755 low-rent homes in 5 years.
We must build housing again. 🏗️ #WeCanEndIt
