Building a More Affordable Canada: Rethinking Housing & Real Estate

​Affordability in Canada isn’t just a market issue — it’s a systems issue.

​Rising prices, outdated policies, limited access to capital, and a lack of coordinated innovation have made homeownership and real estate investment feel increasingly out of reach for many Canadians.

​So where do we go from here?

​Through a candid panel discussion, we’ll unpack:

• ​Why current housing models are falling short

• ​Where innovation can unlock affordability and access

• ​How policy change can enable better outcomes

• ​What collaboration across sectors looks like in practice

​Stay for networking with builders, founders, investors, policymakers, and advocates who are working on — or want to be part of — the solution.

​If you’re navigating the housing market, building in the ecosystem, or interested in shaping the future of housing in Canada, this event is for you.

​Panelists
