City of Burnaby has seen success with catalyzing rental housing over the past 5 years.

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

As Omicron cases explode

We need a strategy for isolating folks who test positive

We need to think about the purpose of isolation clearly

Because if we don't get it right,

It'll both be hugely disruptive and won't keep us safe

So let's discuss what we need to do
