YCL Annual Boat Cruise Event Recap |
|
The return of the Young Construction Leaders' (YCL) Committee Annual Boat Cruise was a tremendous success!
On Thursday, June 23, 2022, the Toronto Construction Association YCL Committee hosted their largest boat cruise event yet with over 220 young construction professionals in attendance.
The weather condition was perfect - it was a beautiful summer evening for a boat cruise. Participants boarded the Yankee Lady III at the Toronto Harbourfront for a private 2-hour cruise and enjoyed views of the city skyline, delicious appetizers, music, and networking.
A special thank you to our Captain (Gold Sponsor) Home Depot Canada, First Mate (Silver Sponsor) Echelle Canada, our Deck Hand (Bronze Sponsors) M & G Steel Limited, and Hammersmith Corporation!
We cannot wait to host you all again next year!

Windmill turns gas station into sustainable community
A gas station and garage aren’t typically what comes to mind when thinking of sustainability elements, but Windmill Developments has big plans for a condo project located on such a site in The Beaches area of Toronto.
Specializing in brownfield projects, the developer will be building an eight-storey, 57-suite boutique community named Courcelette, located at Kingston and Courcelette roads in the upper Beaches area of the city’s east end. The residential part of the building will be 52,243 square feet with 2,418 square feet of commercial space.
Designed by RAW Design and constructed by LCG Residential Builders Ltd., the building focuses on optimizing outdoor space and active living as well as facilitating a sense of community and socializing among residents. The owner of the property, who has run the gas station and garage in the community for a long time, has also been consulted on the development.
Construction on the building is anticipated to begin later this year. The team plans to begin dismantling the service centre in the fall.
Courcelette is targeting a LEED Platinum certification and is aiming to meet the Toronto Green Standards, Tier 2. The building features a high-performance envelope and a geo-thermal system for heating and cooling. It will also have electric vehicle chargers and infrastructure. In addition to one bike parking space per suite, the building has a dedicated bike entrance and a bike repair/wash station. The site is close to Lake Ontario, the beach, Blantye Park and a trail system and features retail on the ground level and every suite will have a balcony. Residents will also have space for herb and vegetable gardens on their balcony or in the shared spaces.
The lobby will feature seating for residents to work or socialize and adjacent to the lobby there is a gathering room which can be used for dinners, meetings and social events. Although it is a smaller building, it will include amenities such as a ground level gym with a yoga space, cardio equipment and weights. On the seventh floor there will be outdoor common terraces with barbecues, dining, seating and a fire pit. Courcelette will follow the One Planet Living framework, which comprises 10 principles, including measurements around active transportation, health and happiness.
The community will receive funding from the One Planet Living Fund, an impact real estate investment fund developed by Windmill and Epic Investment Services designed to accelerate the implementation of impact investing principles in real estate while generating market returns, states a release..
Developer: Windmill Developments
Architect: RAW Design Inc.
General Contractor: LCG Residential Builders Ltd.
