Vancouver bucks building permits trend
The Vancouver area bucked a downward trend across most of the rest of the country in the value of building permits issued in August, Statistics Canada said yesterday.
The value of building permits rose 13.3 per cent between July and August to $481.8 million, StatsCan said.
For B.C. as a whole, however, building permits fell 6.9 per cent to $828.7 million as the value of residential permits dropped six per cent and that of non-residential permits lost nine per cent, the federal agency said.
