Toronto continues to grow at an unprecedented rate, and the demand for affordable housing has reached critical levels. What is today a housing crisis is quickly becoming a housing catastrophe without urgent action on new supply.

Join Canadian Club Toronto on December 8 for a panel of experts from government, real estate development, labour, and urban planning to address one of the most pressing challenges facing our city. Together, they will explore the root causes of Toronto’s housing crisis—including rising development costs, a lack of construction starts, labour shortages, escalating rent prices, and zoning restrictions. The discussion will also consider the real impacts on low- and middle-income families and highlight potential solutions—from innovative housing models to government interventions and community-led initiatives. Join us for an insightful conversation on how we can work together to ensure Toronto remains a city where everyone has the opportunity to find a home. Moderated by Naama Blonder, Architect & Urban Planner, this expert panel features:

Ana Bailão – CEO, Build Canada Homes
Victoria Mancinelli – Director, Public Relations, Marketing and Strategic Partnerships, LiUNA Pension Fund of Central and Eastern Canada
Jaime McKenna – President, Fengate Real Estate
