Guests enjoyed a lively atmosphere, with a DJ spinning a mix of classic and current hits and delicious appetizers, keeping spirits high throughout the night. Despite the absence of sunshine, the spectacular views of the city's skyline added to the event's appeal.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all attendees for making this year's boat cruise another sold-out success. Special thanks go to our valued sponsors, Home Depot Canada and Cobalt Safety Consulting Inc., whose unwavering support helped make the event possible.

Lean Pull Planning (Lean Construction – a Last Planner™ Simulation)
Workshop Overview
Learn how to improve upon traditional scheduling that uses the critical path method. While CPM is a method that has been used for many decades there are many problems that make it slow to recover and adapt to impacts and changes to the schedule. The Last Planner™ System takes the CPM master schedule at the highest level and provides a methodology that is designed to increase productivity and accountability through collaboratively managing workflow on a project. This workshop demonstrates the value of collaborative planning and project execution using the principles of the Last Planner™ System so that users truly understand how to bring the Last Planner™ System to life in a construction setting.
Topics Covered
- Understand and distinguish between traditional push planning and pull planning
- The impact of variation on your schedule
- Orientation to the Last Planner™ System
- Planned Percent Complete (PPC)
- Constraint Logs
- Experience a collaborative pull planning session

New Lawrence Heights community centre designed
to reflect the land it will sit on
A new Lawrence Heights Community Recreation Centre (CRC) in Toronto will reflect the history, character and archeology of the site.
Designed by CS&P Architects and Two Row Architect for the City of Toronto, the centre is a four-storey, 80,000-square-foot structure that will also include a 10,000-square-foot child care centre.
The project is part of the Lawrence Heights Revitalization project, led by Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC).
As TCHC’s largest revitalization project, it will see a 100-acre site south of Yorkdale Shopping Centre transformed into a vibrant, mixed-income community.
The revitalization includes replacing 1,208 TCHC units and building over 4,000 new market units, along with new parks, retail space and roads connecting Lawrence Heights to the surrounding community.
The CRC is part of phase two and is expected to be the centrepiece. It will replace an existing community centre in a different location, which will remain open until the new facility is built. The new CRC will be located near Varna Drive and Ranee Avenue, north of Flemington Public School.
The centre will include a six-lane, 25-metre lane pool; a leisure/tot pool; a double gymnasium with raised track; fitness/dance/aerobic studios; multi-purpose spaces and activity rooms; a community kitchen; enhanced youth space; a weight and conditioning room; a social services office; an active rooftop; active outdoor space and Indigenous placekeeping elements.
Food security issues are also a priority for the community. There’s a community kitchen and there is also the intent to run a food bank out of this area.
While the child care centre will operate as its own separate building, it’s all combined into the same structure. It will have 88 spaces with rooms for infants, toddlers and preschoolers as well as outdoor spaces.
The leftover area on the site will be used for outdoor recreation activities like a community square, a sports court and playground areas.
n terms of sustainability, the mass timber building is expected to be a net-zero carbon building, meet Toronto Green Standards Version 4. It will also include PV panels, geothermal, a compact building shape, a reduced amount of glazing and a high-performance envelope.
The project is currently in the design development phase and the team is looking to lock down its design in order to move it forward to detailed drawing development which then gets tendered out to contractors.
Construction is expected to begin in 2026.
Owner: City of Toronto
Architects: CS&P Architects Inc. and Two Row Architect
