We convened local industry and community leaders to harness their diverse insights and begin co-creating a plan.
This is just the beginning. We’re grateful for the shared passion and commitment to build a future that lifts us all.

After years of speaking with the community we heard a resounding call: we need to change the way we train, hire and employ Torontonians.
We want to be a part of the solution.
This week, we hosted our first Workforce Development Forum to kickstart that work.

Sitting back and waiting for something to change is just not an option. It’s time to reconnect and believe in Toronto again.

Bareket’s playful and colourful artistry brightens up any place - even an airport - and we are honoured to feature her creativity on the site through this mural commission.
At Northcrest, we’re firm believers in the power of cultivating our future, together.
That’s why we were thrilled to collaborate with talented Toronto muralist, Bareket Kezwer, to transform a container on our site into a vibrant masterpiece.
