Last week, BOMA Toronto joined building portfolio owners from the Green Will Initiative at the University of Toronto for an engaging discussion featuring Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie, City Councillor for Scarborough-Rouge Park, and Jana Mosley, the newly appointed President and CEO of Toronto Hydro.  With a growing membership now exceeding 40 organizations, the Green Will Initiative invites building owners to partner with the City of Toronto to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings, which remain the city's largest emission source.  During the event, original founding members of the initiative, including our Corporate Partners Cadillac Fairview and Oxford Properties Group, were honoured for their pioneering leadership. We extend our congratulations to all members for their commitment to charting a path toward net-zero emissions for their building portfolios.  Find out more about the Green Will Initiative here: https://ow.ly/ZeLS50UfpeR  #electrification #netzero #decarbonization #CRE #commercialrealestate #propertymanagement #sustainability

Yesterday, during our Breakfast session with Toronto Hydro, key climate initiatives and new programs designed to help building managers and operators navigate the transition to decarbonizing buildings were reviewed. Climate action is a team sport! 1. Toronto Hydro’s electricity grid is ready for electrification. 2. The grid will expand with time, and Toronto Hydro has a plan to do so prudently. 3. Toronto Hydro is there to help you on your electrification journey. Speak to them about your projects. Talk to the team early in the conceptualization phase and often to ensure you get the answers you need early in the planning cycle.
