The federal government has invested more than $5.9 million in sustainable wood construction in Ontario, which will create 319 new residential units.
The four green construction and green technology projects across Ontario will support using low-carbon and processed wood in the Canadian construction sector.
The funding includes:
- More than $900,000 went to Assembly Corp. to develop an innovative design and seismic system for a 62-unit, all-wood building in Toronto.
- $1 million to Sean Mason Homes to deploy an innovative, hybrid mass timber and steel system for the five-storey, 38-unit Rainwater Condominium project.
- $1 million to Post Office Limited Partnership to deploy an innovative, wood-based, and sustainable building solution to reconstruct and add nine stories to a two-storey heritage post office in Oshawa.
- More than $3 million to Timmerman Timberworks to develop, study, and certify next-generation mass timber building products.
Funding for these projects is being provided through Natural Resources Canada’s (NRC’s) Green Construction through Wood and Investments in Forest Industry Transformation programs.
