Toronto and Region Conservation Authority leads by example with breathtaking new headquarters

The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s new building at 5 Shoreham Dr. passes the smell test.

Not only does it possess the delicious aroma of a spruce forest, it has an ideology, a purpose and an ethos hewn into the reality of bricks-and-mortar – no, scratch that – into mass timber, advanced energy efficiency, and so many green building certifications. It is the Vantablack of green; the poster child of sustainability, the Muhammad Ali of the environment.
