The 100-Year Home: A Cross-Sector Conversation on Climate Ready Affordable Housing

Toronto’s climate future will be shaped not only by the buildings we construct next, but by the older homes people already live in.

​Join Circle Community LandTrust for a dynamic, cross-sector conversation grounded in one urgent real-world question: how do we turn aging affordable homes into climate-ready, resilient places to live without sacrificing affordability, tenant well-being, or long-term performance?

​This session offers an opportunity to ask meaningful questions, and mingle over refreshments with representatives from affordable housing, energy systems, municipal building performance, and architecture professionals as we collaborate on a shared challenge.

Engage with the panel as they explore what older low-rise housing can teach us about long-term stewardship, staged electrification, resilience, tenant experience, and the systems change needed to make climate-ready affordability possible at scale and in collaboration.

​Grounded in Circle’s lived experience across Toronto’s single family homes, this event invites participants into a collaborative discussion about what it will actually take to preserve affordable housing for the next 100 years.
