*Clears throat*... A personal announcement: After 17 amazing years w/ a fantastic team @OntarioHBA I’m excited to take on a new challenge as CEO of @WestEndHBA representing residential construction & renovation industries in Hamilton/Halton
We are thrilled to welcome @mikejcw as the new CEO of the West End Home Builders' Association! Building on his impressive contributions over the last 17 years at the @OntarioHBA , we are excited about this new chapter for our Association and all of the opportunities it brings.
There are cities in Ontario where the development charges alone are more than what my entire brand new, 2-storey, 3-bedroom house cost in 2004 ($168,000). We made building homes financially unviable and, surprise, we just don't build them anymore.
Single-family home starts are set to hit 69-year low, according to new data that also reveals more challenges in the Ford government's plan to build 1.5 million new housing units. READ MORE: trib.al/7B3VSr3">trib.al/7B3VSr3 trib.al/7B3VSr3">trib.al/7B3VSr3
Ironic that all I hear locally is "Urban Sprawl"

Growth is Coming: What is in it for you? Great panel discussing both challenges, opportunities and need (especially for younger generation) for housing in Burlington w Mayor @MariannMeedWard + panelists Jeff Neven, @TerriLJohns08 & @jesse_helmer
The highest attended Development Industry Liaison Group meeting is underway at City Hall The issue: the City's proposed 'use or lose' it planning-development bylaws. #yhmcc #HamOnt
WE HBA was quoted by @PierrePoilievre in the House of Commons: “Removing the GST for new homes purchased for under $1 million may be the most significant housing policy commitment in the past two decades.” Let’s get building! 🏗️👷 #cdnpoli
For over 30 years, the lack of inflation adjustments on the GST Rebate Threshold for new home construction has been a key issue impacting housing affordability. The full removal of the GST on new homes under $1 million would bring greater tax fairness for homebuyers. 📈#WEHBA
Conservatives will axe the sales tax on new homes to help build more homes in Canada! It's common sense and it's part of our plan to restore the promise of Canada.
AXE THE SALES TAX ON HOMES You will pay no GST on new homes of under $1 million, saving up to $50,000. Check it out 👇
Destabilizing population growth? Ontario's pop grew an avg of 200k a year 2015-2019. Ontario's pop grew by 500k in the last year.
Increasing housing supply in Canada will require an innovative approach. Thanks, Jessi Rudisuela, VIDA Living, Natasha Ferguson, @ETHELFOXGROUP, and @mikejcw, @westendhba for sharing your perspectives and exploring possible ways forward. #CREAPAC24
Attending morning @CREA_ACI #CREAPAC24 on declining public discourse in politics w Oakville North Burlington MP @PamDamoff, MP Karen Vechio, MP @BonitaZarrillo, MP @A_Larouche_Shef & @catherinejclark A bit depressing hearing extremes that our elected officials have to deal with.
On Tuesday, I had the pleasure of bringing a group of @TMUsurp students to @cityburlington and @cityofhamilton We met with City Staff, land developers, and affordable housing providers. A special thank you to @WestEndHBA and all of the volunteers who made this possible.
Today, Eden Grodzinski, presented to Burlington’s Pipeline to Permit on our innovative Youth Skilled Trades Program - Tiny Homes initiative! These homes not only showcase the incredible skills of our youth but also have the potential to be Accessory Residential Units (ARUs).
OHBA CEO, @AndisonSW, and @WestEndHBA CEO, @mikejcw, traveled to Switzerland last week to meet with local architects and @CanSwitzerland to start planning OHBA's next International Housing Tour. Stay tuned for more details on our 2025 OHBA International Housing Tour to Zurich!…
Here is a noteworthy piece of info in the file. Bousfield Inc Registered Professional Planner David Falletta, working for the developer, details how poor Hamilton's housing starts have been in 2024. Only one new unit Downtown in Jan - Jun. #yhmcc
