'''Abstract:'''

+

In Canada, multi-unit residential buildings require at least 2 exits for safety. However, international examples show that with extra fire protection features, buildings can be safely designed with a single staircase. This approach supports "missing middle" housing, maximizing land use on smaller properties while improving sustainability and design flexibility. Single-stair design can also allow for more natural light, fresh air and more accessible and family-friendly homes.

+

As part of the CMHC Housing Supply Challenge, LGA is collaborating with 10 other architects across Canada to scale, replicate and adapt the single-stair solution for different cities and types of small multi-unit residential buildings and has submitted a code change request to the National Building Code of Canada.

'''Abstract:'''

+

Jonathan Kipling and Jamey Burr, from the Indigenous-owned company Innovation 7, will discuss recent experiences in working with Indigenous communities, all levels of government and the private sector to make progress on the Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. They will describe the journey from policy to program delivery and implementation, commenting on obstacles and opportunities to ensure that Indigenous people benefit in many ways from infrastructure projects.

+

They will share what changes in behaviour are needed to address challenges like engagement fatigue, barriers to accessing project benefits, ineffective communications collateral, and connecting to Indigenous people in urban areas.

+

Jonathan and Jamey will share examples of new engagement methods and media that are making a difference in bringing a strong and creative Indigenous voice to the fore.

'''Abstract:'''

+

A discussion about analysis using digital twins and building data on a mass scale to help municipalities plan and implement decarbonization strategies and policies. Analysis can be accomplished at the city or neighborhood scale, on individual or portfolios of buildings, or at the individual mechanical plant or system level. This session with provide high level overview of the tools and analysis that can be used for different purposes as municipalities explore decarbonization policies and projects.
