Announcing a new Globe and Mail event: Building for Growth - Housing and infrastructure for an expanding nation

Across the country, Canadians are bearing the brunt of an ongoing and painful housing crisis. As the gap between housing supply and demand continues to grow, one thing remains clear: many homes are needed, but too few are being built. At the same time, questions are being raised about Canada’s ability to build and finance the hospitals, schools, roads, and transit needed to accommodate an expanding population and bolster productivity.

With The Globe and Mail, we are bringing experts and leaders together for a hybrid event to discuss the solutions, partnerships and policies for the next generation of housing and infrastructure in Canada.

The event will take place on June 7th, 2024 from 9:30am - 2:00pm ET. Register today for this free virtual event through the button below.
