The Missing Middle Conference: Shaping the Future of Canadian Housing
TORONTO, Sept. 10, 2025 /CNW/ - On September 12, 2025, leaders from across Canada will gather at the Fairmont Royal York in Toronto for the Missing Middle Conference, a pivotal event tackling Canada's housing crisis head-on.
The conference focuses on the "missing middle" housing types such as stacked townhomes, small apartments, and multiplexes that provide faster, more affordable, and sustainable solutions between single-family homes and high-rise towers.
National Voices in One Room
Headlining the event are Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, Parliamentary Secretary Jennifer McKelvie, Ontario Deputy Minister of Housing Graydon Smith, and Mathieu Laberge, Vice-President of Housing Economics at CMHC. They will be joined by mayors from across Ontario, federal and provincial policymakers, leading developers, and top voices from finance and construction. This rare gathering brings the decision-makers and innovators shaping the future of Canadian housing into one room.
Why It Matters
Years of red tape, rising construction costs, and fragmented policies have delayed projects and driven up housing prices. The Missing Middle Conference convenes the leaders with the power to cut through barriers and deliver solutions that can be scaled across the country.
