Today, I announced a new Mass Timber Pilot program for affordable housing - the first of its kind in Toronto.

🏠100 homes
🏗Constructed with mass timber
🔋Maximize on-site renewable electricity

This near net-zero project shows great promise as a new, scalable housing solution!

Geeking out on the @the_phnetwork fenestration symposium today, dreaming about a decentralized window industry in the U.S. that produces fenestration that is as high performance, high quality, and cost effective as we had access to in Germany/EU.

Today @JasonFarrHamOnt , @FilomenaTassi, Chad Collins (Councillor and MP elect), and myself cut the ribbon at 500 Macnab Street North Ken Soble Tower which has 146 units dedicated to affordable senior units!

[Johanna Hoffmann 🇨🇦 @OomphGroup]

@ERAarch point the way forward: After a total retrofit "At its peak, the total energy required to heat and cool units would be equivalent to three incandescent light bulbs". 👏👏👏
