Ian Chodikoff Moderates ACO Toronto Heritage & Housing Symposium

ACO Toronto Heritage and Housing Symposium
Session: Addressing Affordability

For the past few years, ACO Toronto branch has hosted an annual heritage symposium - a one day event filled with talks and panel discussions from a wide variety of perspectives on a specific relevant theme. Past themes have included Main Streets, Modernist Schools, and Demolition.

The theme for this year is Heritage and Housing, and Ian Chodikoff will be moderating the Addressing Affordability session, a dynamic panel that will explore the relation, or perceived relation, between heritage and housing in Toronto.

Toronto has nearly 250 cranes, more than New York, Boston, LA, Seattle, San Francisco, and Washington combined. Despite this, Toronto is facing a serious housing affordability crisis. At the same time, diverse cultural heritage is being erased in our city, from landmarks to everyday buildings. This session explores the relation, or perceived relation, between heritage and housing in Toronto in 2023. Who are the communities, groups, and organizers working on affordable housing in this city? What role does heritage have in their work?
