Calgary’s Secondary Suite Registry surpasses 20,000: A milestone for safer housing

Calgary has registered over 20,000 secondary suites through its Secondary Suite Registry, reflecting strong demand for safe, legal housing. The program, launched in 2015, ensures suites meet fire, building, and land use standards. Recent growth is supported by streamlined permitting and the Secondary Suite Incentive Program, which added 3,000 suites. These efforts align with Calgary’s housing strategy to increase supply, choice, and affordability.
