In this episode of Echo Essentials, we break down what’s behind North Bay’s banner year for housing development.

With 242 new dwelling units approved in 2025, more than double from 2024, we sit down with Councillor Justine Mallah and Beverley Hillier from Planning and Building Services to unpack what drove the surge.

We also take a look at the continuing development of the waterfront area and what the future holds for 2026 and beyond.
