LandPRO Conference Co-Chair, Harry Herskowitz, will join us to analyze the Ontario Appellate Court decision in the case of MTCC No. 723 v. Reino, a case involving reliance upon a status certificate (that inadvertently confirmed that the dwelling unit complied with the declaration and by-laws of the condominium, when in fact an unapproved alteration to the dwelling unit had transpired).

Our panel of municipal planners and leaders will be discussing key issues to planning for
growth in Ontario, including their perspective on the implementation and future of LPAT.

The Planning Lawyer Panel will be discussing:

1) Examining an LPAT Stated Case the panel will identify the questions posed to Court and the ramifications of the Court’s potential answers on future LPAT hearings.

2) The “Missing” Question – Is affidavit [and other] evidence permitted at Part II LPAT hearings? 

3) Your Land – Your Development Proposal – No “party” status to participate at LPAT hearings?

4) Can LPAT be fixed? – What does the future hold? 

New materials, innovative designs, space restrictions, tight timelines, escalating costs: these factors can create a nightmare scenario for even the best construction managers. Join Rob Jennings to get an inside account of where the greatest threats are to the construction phase of your projects, and the measures you can take to mitigate the risks.

Accessibility for all is a hot topic across Ontario. The desire for more accessible places has grown over the past decade, with an increase in legislation and emergence of best practices. Attendees will learn about the most critical accessibility issues facing mixed-use developments, base-line requirements that influence our built environments and development strategies that can advance social inclusion and add long term property value.
