And it happens more often than you’d think. According to a two-year study led by University of Toronto researchers, as many as 40 per cent of minority jobseekers “whiten” their resumés by adopting Anglicized names and downplaying experience with racial groups to bypass biased screeners and just get their foot in the door.

Melissa DeGenova says the "Affordable Home Ownership" pilot project stems from a motion she put forward almost a year ago. Essentially, the city would require an ownership stake in some of a building's units, granting more density to the developer in exchange. The eligible buyer would then purchase the unit at a discounted rate. If the city approves the pilot, involving 300 units over a 3-year period, it would have to get approval from the province to amend the Vancouver Charter. Learn more about your ad choices.
