Tory’s plan includes allowing more mid−range developments of four units or less on major roads and in areas served by transit, as well as the creation of a new division to streamline the building process.

The two-building infill development will span 336,000 square feet on a 15-acre site near highways 401 and 407.

The strategy aims to mobilize national action to reduce carbon emissions from buildings by 37 percent from 2005 by 2030 and to create a net-zero-emissions buildings sector by 2050.

The volume totaled 15.7 million metric tons, thanks in part to increases in potash refined petroleum and road salt shipments.

The $1.8 billion-dollar infrastructure project will connect 17 remote First Nations communities that are currently powered by diesel generators to the province’s power grid.
