The 2025 Summit

The Globe & Mail Centre

351 King St. East, Toronto
Oct 23, 2025 8:30am-5:00pm EST

The 2025 Canada Builds Modular Summit was a SOLD OUT event bringing together leaders from government, industry, non-profits, and Indigenous communities to explore how factory-built housing can be scaled to address Canada’s housing crisis.

Over 350 participants, and 900+ live stream viewers came from as far away as Japan and Seattle, and nearly every Province was represented, with an under representation from Atlantic Canada and Quebec.

The Summit showcased innovations, fostered partnerships, and highlighted actionable strategies to accelerate modular housing delivery nationwide.
