This week on TCR Express, digital media editor Warren Frey and Journal of Commerce staff writer Russell Hixson look at some of the stories coming up in the paper, including Russell’s interview with officials at Saint-Gobain, who are working on a major project to capture heat and cut down emissions at one of their manufacturing plants as a step towards net-zero emissions by 2050.
Russell also talked about a disagreement between the Union of BC Municipalities and the Canadian Homebuilders Association of BC about affordable housing, one of the biggest issues in the Lower Mainland and in Canada.
