A Fireside Chat for Young Professionals
About this Event

Join Kehilla Affordable Housing young professionals community for an evening of conversation, connection, and lite bites at the offices of Aird & Berlis LLP.

Doors open at 6:00 PM for networking, with our fireside chat getting underway at 7:00 PM.

The discussion, moderated by Matthew Helfand, Municipal and Land Use Planning Lawyer at Aird & Berlis LLP, features two leaders at the forefront of Toronto's housing policy and city building:

Oren Tamir, Interim Executive Director of Development Review at the City of Toronto, brings an insider perspective on how the City is working to streamline approvals and accelerate housing delivery across the city.

Howard Paskowitz, Senior Vice President, Development and Public Affairs (Canadian Residential) at Starlight Investments, offers a private-sector lens on what it takes to get purpose-built rental housing built and what still stands in the way.

Together, they'll trace the full arc, following policy to permit, exploring what it truly takes to build housing in Toronto, and the role we can play in shaping what comes next.

Lite bites will be provided (vegetarian). Space is limited to 40 guests reserve your spot early.
