What will it take to get more homes built across Canada? The Canada Builds Modern Summit returns to Toronto on October 7 and 8, 2026, with an expanded two-day program at The Globe and Mail Centre, located at 351 King Street East. The gathering will examine how financing, approvals, procurement, design, and construction can work together to bring housing innovations into wider use.

For Jennifer Keesmaat, CEO of Collecdev-Markee Developments, the Summit comes at an opportunity to reshape housing delivery. “Our country is undergoing a fundamental transition – rethinking the systems that sustain our economy but also the thriving of Canadian communities and culture. Access to housing is at the core of that – we need to capture this momentum for change and use it to fix housing delivery, which has been stuck in a rut for decades. Now is the time for change.”
