Mass TimberConstruction MasterClass

Tuesday February 258:00AM - 9:30AM Dream Unlimited30 Adelaide St E, Suite 301

Interest in building with mass timber is increasing but not well understood.

There are environmental advantages to building with timber as it has considerably lower

carbon cost than reinforced concrete, steel or masonry. Additionally, there is evolving

evidence that mass timber buildings have higher levels of wellbeing, concentration, and

productivity for occupants.

Planning, designing and building a mass timber building is radically different than a

conventional structure. Understanding how it is different, advantages, constraints, timelines,

risks etc. are key to market adoption in order to realize the benefits. This session is designed

to be a master class by Bernhard Gafner that will provide attendees with an intimate

knowledge of what it means to plan, design, procure and construct a mass timber building.

Following Bernhard’s presentation, there will be a moderated question period featuring local

experts: Michelle Xuereb, Director of Innovation, Quadrangle and Mike Yorke, President,

Carpenters District Council of Ontario.

Speaker:

Bernhard Gafner, Principal, Aspect Structural Engineers

Accessibility: ULI Toronto is committed to be a barrier-free and accessible organization for

all. Should you have any accommodation requirements, including ASL interpretation, please

Building Better:Indigenous Collaboration in Urban Environments

Tuesday November 267:30AM - 9:30AM

The Globe and Mail Centre351 King St E, Level 17

When many think about building with Indigenous populations in mind, it’s far beyond our city

limits — consent and duty to consult for infrastructure projects in the far northern reaches of

our province and remote regions across the country. But Toronto is home to the largest

population of Indigenous peoples in Canada. When we build for our city, we are building for

Indigenous peoples. The Urban Land Institute, in partnership with Enterprise, is opening a discussion with

Indigenous leaders, city planners and developers, on the cultural moment that brings

Indigenous consultation to the forefront of our growing cityscape, and to explore how

planning, design and development can better incorporate our local Indigenous minds and

voices into development processes. The above topics will be explored the morning of November 26, 2019 at the Globe and Mail

Centre through a keynote address by JP Gladu, President and CEO of the Canadian Council

for Aboriginal Business, followed by panel discussions with community leaders and industry

experts. WELCOME:Duke Redbird, Indigenous Polymath Wisdom Keeper & Elder, Indigenous Arts & Culture

ULI Toronto's SheWithHe campaign has historically focussed on men and women working in

partnership towards gender parity in the real estate and development industry. This year,

SheWithHe has expanded its mission beyond focussing on gender parity to look at issues of

diversity and inclusion more broadly.

Women and other underrepresented groups can’t solve diversity and inclusion problems on

their own. They need allies - people who stand up for others to proactively build inclusion in

the workplace. Join last year’s SheWithHe moderator, Toni De Mello, Director of Human Rights at Ryerson

University, as she leads an interactive, members-only workshop aimed at developing the

skills and cultural competencies necessary to be an ally and to improve diversity and

inclusion in the workplace. Space is limited. Please register early.

Acknowledgement: Indigenous History and Issues and Trends in Indigenous Engagement.

Speakers:Carolyn King, Chair and Co-Founder, Shared Path Consultation Initiative, member of the

Mississaugas of the Credit First NationRon Williamson, Founder, Archaeological Services Inc. Many people living in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) will have heard the following land

acknowledgement (or some variation of it) recited at the beginning of an event:

“We acknowledge the land we are meeting on is the traditional territory of many nations

including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnaabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee

and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis

peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of

the Credit.” Few people who hear this statement know why these three groups are acknowledged or

understand what the implications might be for people living in the GTA today. Join Shared

Path Board Chair Carolyn King of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and Vice Chair

Ron Williamson, Founder of Archaeological Services Inc. as they provide an introduction to

the history of the GTA, beginning in 13,000 BCE, based on archaeological evidence and

Indigenous oral history. They will discuss the implications of both the treaty agreements

and traditional territory claims in the GTA on present day governance and how this relates to

land use planning and development. Prior to the webinar we recommend that you read this New Yorker article.This webinar is FREE for ULI membersand $20 for non-members. JOIN ULI &ATTEND FOR FREE

Message From The Incoming Chair

We are committed to amplifying the views and experiences of our diverse membership, and will ensure we establish a framework for a more diverse membership, including in leadership roles, in ULI Toronto and across our industry. We plan to support community impact through Technical Assistance Panels, Regional Thought Leadership sessions and continued discussions on the recovery of our region.

We will meet all these objectives while we also learn to effectively operate within an online business model during this fiscal year. We know that the value of ULI membership has been in part the connections that are made by attending events, networking and through in-person volunteer connections, and we will ensure that members don’t lose this important sense of connectedness.

ULI Toronto is uniquely positioned to convene, engage, listen, and lead. And we need your active engagement in the organization to make this happen. I look forward to working together with you all!

EMMA WEST

I’m excited to begin my tenure as Chair of ULI Toronto during these challenging times. Challenges are bringing opportunity- for change, renewal and recommitment. Like a lot of us, I’ve been reflecting on where we have been as an organization and where we must go. This Annual Report looks back at our successes but also provides our plan for the path forward.

The organization has had over six years of continued growth in membership, which has resulted in expanding our organizational capacity and increasing our impact. Earlier this year, we were poised to welcome the world to the ULI Spring Meeting in Toronto, with the hope of sharing with our colleagues from around the world, all that our city is, and can be. We are still actively finding ways to tell our story and help other centers learn from our successes and challenges.

One area in which ULI Toronto plans to provide leadership is making sure that Equity, Diversity and Inclusion is core to our organization and the industry. We know that the pandemic and other world events have emphasized the inequities in our community and in this regard, ULI has an opportunity to elevate our impact, in line with the ULI Global mission of promoting the responsible use of land.

We are committed to amplifying the views and experiences of our diverse membership, and will ensure we establish a framework for a more diverse membership, including in leadership roles, in ULI Toronto and across our industry.

The Urban Land Institute is a global nonprofit education and research institute dedicated to providing leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities. Since 1936, ULI has been a source for best practices and impartial information, and a forum in which real estate industry leaders can share ideas, experiences, and best practices.

Message From The Outgoing Chair

ULI Content PillarsThe ULI Content Pillars provide a bridge between our broad mission and the programs that deliver it. The Pillars represent the timeless topics or concerns of the organization, within which the program of work must fit. Much of our program of work cuts across these

1. Housing and Communities2. Real Estate Finance and Investment3. Sustainability and Economic Performance4. Innovation in Development Practice5. Shaping Successful Cities and Regions

I am very proud of the initiative that ULI Toronto co-led with the Toronto Region Board of Trade on the post-COVID world and the role of the development industry in the post-pandemic recovery, an effort that was lauded for its comprehensive overview and positive, constructive analysis and creation of a roadmap that will help to shape the future as we know it.

programming necessary to keep our membership engaged and informed. In response to the need, our Annual Sponsors and those Sponsors who had backed our Spring Meeting stepped into the breech with renewals and Bridge Sponsorships to allow us to balance our budget and plan with confidence for the coming year.

• Awareness of our role in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion for the development industry and Truth and Reconciliation in city building helped ULI Toronto to lead the discussion when the world at large responded to the Black Lives Matter movement. We hosted programs, led discussions, and relaunched our own ED&I Task Force to ensure that we not only talk the talk but walk the walk.

I am very proud of the initiative that ULI Toronto co-led with the Toronto Region Board of Trade on the post-COVID world and the role of the development industry in the post-pandemic recovery, an effort that was lauded for its comprehensive overview and positive, constructive analysis and creation of a roadmap that will help to shape the future as we know it.

And, lastly, I would like to thank outgoing Vice Chair, Michelle Ackerman and Chair of Mission Advancement, Hillary Marshall, for their unwavering leadership through such an unpredictable last year. I am pleased and comforted to know that the baton has been passed to our new Chair, Emma West, and new Vice Chair and Chair of Mission Advancement, Cyndi Rottenberg-Walker, who will lead us through the next chapter of ULI Toronto’s continued success and growth, and contribute to the development of a just, sustainable and inclusive community and society.

I began my term as Chair of ULI Toronto in November 2018, and identified three priorities for my tenure, namely:

• Bring the ULI Spring Meeting to Toronto in 2020 and ensure that it will be a resounding success and a foundation for great things to come;

• Bring renewal to ULI Toronto’s Management Committee and all of its other committees and task forces, engaging with new members and broadening our base of diversity and inclusion;

• Bring more clarity to our programming through branding, to enable our members and the public to identify and engage with those programs that spoke directly to their professional and personal interests.

We were well on our way to achieving all three of our goals when COVID-19, the subsequent economic collapse and Black Lives Matter movement came upon us, shaking the world as we know it. This one-two-three punch should have brought ULI Toronto to its knees. What ensued was the farthest thing from that outcome.

• The Spring Meeting was cancelled, and ULI Toronto pivoted on a dime to a totally virtual platform, producing multiple programs a week addressing immediate issues of concern to our members, and in the process doubling our record-breaking number of annual participants in the process, putting us far ahead of any other District Council in the ULI universe.

• The hit to ULI Toronto’s annual budget resulting from the cancellation of the Spring Meeting created an immediate crisis that threatened our ability to continue to provide the quality and quantity of

WLI Toronto is committed to increasing the number and visibility of women in leadership roles at ULI Toronto and the industry in general, by promoting the value that ULI offers for women in the industry. ULI Toronto takes on a leadership role within WLI by spotlighting women in our various programs and initiatives.

This year, SheWithHeexpanded its focus beyondgender equity. Of course, gender equity remains an important issue and, while we have made progress collectively, more action is required. The broader mandate encompasses diversity and inclusion and is considered a natural progression from gender equity.

The Outreach Committee is charged with reaching out to local organizations and bodies active in the real estate development and land use fields to make ULI and its mission known to them, and to explore how ULI may work with them on areas of common concern.

ULI Advisory Services PanelOn February 28, ULI Toronto, in partnership with the City of Toronto and the Tower Renewal Partnership, hosted a group of North American experts who had been working through the previous four days to deliver a comprehensive and actionable set of recommendations on resolving one of the city’s biggest housing and resilience challenges. The weeklong process tapped into ULI’s global Advisory Service Program, which has, to date, supported over 700 communities in identifying independent, strategic and practical solutions for sophisticated land-use challenges.

OutreachAs the desire for community continues to influence how assets are designed and programmed, many developers are growing increasingly focused on incorporating placemaking into their projects. This shift inthinking is disrupting pro forma by elevatingthe importance of learning about and findingways to support a place’s existing residents,businesses and organizations.

Programming

Michelle AckermanKilmer Group

On October 29, ULI Toronto brought over 100 land-use professionals from the Greater Toronto Area to Hamilton for an opportunity to tour a number of exciting development projects happening in the city. The

first stop was the Hamilton City Centre for a tour with its new owner.

The events of the last year have brought unprecedentedchallenges. As city builders we wanted to provide leadershipfor the industry and a platform for our membership to cometogether and ask important questions. ULI not only transitionedto online programming, but also took on the challenge of how tobetter address the issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. Thisis all thanks to our staff, whose enormous fortitude and around-the-clock work allowed us to move forward, stay connected andeven grow our membership.


A set of recommendations were developed through a 1.5 day working session focussed on discrete components of the “physical realm” (including main streets, airports, mass transit, major events spaces, institutions, commercial spaces, shopping malls, residential spaces, and housing), established through nine separate Working Groups.

Retrofitting Our Urban Region

ULI Toronto values the importance of this opportunity to convene over 100 leading regional, national andinternational companies, labour unions,and public agencies in an effort to retrofit our city region.

Emma WestBousfields inc.

Before the unexpected cancellation of the 2020 ULI Spring Meeting due to the coronavirus pandemic, all the markers of success had been achieved. A record number of 30 local tours along with six major panels, over 300 speakers, and additional events organized by over 150 volunteers, including our Connect Committee and Women’s Leadership Initiative. Prior to cancellation, over two million dollars in sponsorship were raised thanks the generous support of the companies below.

ULI Toronto, along with the Toronto Region Board of Trade, co-led an initiative to surface early and core recommendations toward retrofitting the “physical realm” as we transition into a new “workplace”. The initiative is part of Reimagining Recovery – a six-track framework the Toronto Region Board of Trade launched as Toronto businesses begin to emerge from the COVID-19 shutdown and shift to economic recovery.

Building Better: Indigenous Collaboration in Urban EnvironmentsULI Toronto opened a thoughtful discussion to an overflowing audience on November 26, at the Globe and Mail Centre. Joined by Indigenous leaders, city planners, developers, and other city building enthusiasts, the audience heard from speakers and a panel about the required cultural shifts or actions to appropriately bring Indigenous consultation to the forefront of a growing cityscape, while also fostering inclusivity in development processes. Dr. Duke Redbird, Indigenous Polymath Wisdom Keeper & Elder, Indigenous Arts & Culture provided a captivating welcome.

Pathways to InclusionOn June 16, ULI Toronto hosted the first meeting of the 2020 Pathways to Inclusion Cohort virtually via Zoom. This virtual happy hour provided particpants the opportunity to connect with fellow program participants, ULI Toronto Management Committee members and our ED&I task force through small, virtual breakout rooms along with topics to spur conversation.

MentorshipEquity, Diversity & Inclusion

Mentors and Mentees from the 2019 program attend a kick-off meet and greet before being paired together for the year ahead.

Established in 2009 by ULI Toronto, the Mentorship Program is intended to foster an exchange of professional ideas, friendship and expertise among young professionals and industry veterans in order to enhance the personal and professional growth of both parties.

The Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee was launched in November 2019 and is now an active part of the ULI Toronto’s work in addressing issues of equity, diversity and inclusion in city building and furthering our responsibility to create a sustainable and thriving future for the Toronto region. The committee plays a unique dual role within ULI Toronto as a resource (support role) in bringing an equity, diversity and inclusion lens to the work of our local District Council leadership; and as a catalyst (lead role) in organizing and delivering initiatives, programs and events to achieve its own mission.

2019 Program Wrap UpOn February 6, ULI Toronto hosted a wrap-up social for those who participated in the 2019 program. Marking the 10th year of the program, both mentors and mentees from over the years shared their success stories from the program, followed by a reception.

A Success StoryIn the fall of 2015, Godyne Sibay and Ming Lau were paired in the ULI Mentorship program. These two women, from seemingly different professional backgrounds, turned a one-year program into a four-year (and counting) friendship filled with growth, stimulating conversations, and an ever-expanding network.

The caliber of ULI members is really high and I don’t think people realize this. This program is a vehicle to facilitate relationships with people you may have never been able to meet.

ULI Toronto recognizes that issues of equity, diversity, inclusion and systemic racism in city building are a significant deficiency

in our industry. We understand that with our privilege comes responsibility and opportunity to start acting for long-lasting and impactful change. So in the words of the late great John Lewis,

let’s “make some noise and get in good trouble”.

Mass TimberConstruction MasterClass

Tuesday February 258:00AM - 9:30AM Dream Unlimited30 Adelaide St E, Suite 301

Interest in building with mass timber is increasing but not well understood.

There are environmental advantages to building with timber as it has considerably lower

carbon cost than reinforced concrete, steel or masonry. Additionally, there is evolving

evidence that mass timber buildings have higher levels of wellbeing, concentration, and

productivity for occupants.

Planning, designing and building a mass timber building is radically different than a

conventional structure. Understanding how it is different, advantages, constraints, timelines,

risks etc. are key to market adoption in order to realize the benefits. This session is designed

to be a master class by Bernhard Gafner that will provide attendees with an intimate

knowledge of what it means to plan, design, procure and construct a mass timber building.

Following Bernhard’s presentation, there will be a moderated question period featuring local

experts: Michelle Xuereb, Director of Innovation, Quadrangle and Mike Yorke, President,

Carpenters District Council of Ontario.

Speaker:

Bernhard Gafner, Principal, Aspect Structural Engineers

Building Better:Indigenous Collaboration in Urban Environments

Tuesday November 267:30AM - 9:30AM

The Globe and Mail Centre351 King St E, Level 17

When many think about building with Indigenous populations in mind, it’s far beyond our city

limits — consent and duty to consult for infrastructure projects in the far northern reaches of

our province and remote regions across the country. But Toronto is home to the largest

population of Indigenous peoples in Canada. When we build for our city, we are building for

Indigenous peoples. The Urban Land Institute, in partnership with Enterprise, is opening a discussion with

Indigenous leaders, city planners and developers, on the cultural moment that brings

Indigenous consultation to the forefront of our growing cityscape, and to explore how

planning, design and development can better incorporate our local Indigenous minds and

voices into development processes. The above topics will be explored the morning of November 26, 2019 at the Globe and Mail

Centre through a keynote address by JP Gladu, President and CEO of the Canadian Council

for Aboriginal Business, followed by panel discussions with community leaders and industry

experts. WELCOME:Duke Redbird, Indigenous Polymath Wisdom Keeper & Elder, Indigenous Arts & Culture
