Last week was a busy one for the Bousfields team! We helped advance over 30 files between Toronto and East York, North York, Scarborough, and Etobicoke York Community Councils. These files represent a wide range of projects, each with its own complexities, timelines, and stakeholders. We’re appreciative of all the collaborative work that happens across disciplines to get each project to this important milestone in the process. Thank you as well to City staff for their continued engagement and thoughtful review throughout the process. Advancing planning applications is never the work of a single party, and productive outcomes depend on contributions from many people along the way. Stay tuned for more info about some of these projects in the coming weeks!

Sharing an update on 5500 Dundas Street West: City Council recently approved two mid-rise buildings (14 and 16 storeys), bringing new housing and a more active street edge to a site that is currently underused. As described by Bousfields Senior Associate Ryan Doherty, “This site is between two tall building nodes and is of a considerable size and depth where you could achieve a really strong public realm and also provide significant transition to the abutting neighbourhood to the north.” This site highlights how built form and public realm can be shaped to respond to both city-building objectives and the immediate context of surrounding neighbourhoods.

We’re pleased to recognize Bousfielders who participated in the ULI Curtner Urban Leadership Program and the contributions they’re making across the industry. The program brings together a diverse mix of professionals engaged in shaping how our cities evolve. Through open discussion and shared experience, the Curtner Program offers a forum for participants to exchange ideas, test new perspectives, and learn from one another. Here are some takeaways from this year’s participants: “The ULI Toronto Curtner Urban Leadership Program has been an incredibly enriching and rewarding experience. Over the past eight months, I had the privilege of connecting with an exceptional group of professionals, engaging in meaningful discussions, and learning from inspiring industry leaders. The program challenged me to think differently, broadened my perspective on leadership and city-building, and provided valuable insights that have contributed to my professional growth. I am thankful to the organizers, mentors, and fellow participants who made this journey so valuable, and I look forward to applying these lessons throughout my career.” Tina Dadgostar “I had a great experience participating in this year’s ULI Toronto Curtner Urban Leadership Program. The program connects you with passionate, diverse peers across the industry and features inspiring leaders who facilitate meaningful and candid discussions. The program not only expanded my knowledge and provided me with valuable insights, it also allowed me to build strong, meaningful connections with fellow professionals in our industry.” Mona Al-Sharari “As a Steering Committee Member and an alumnus of the ULI Curtner Program, I had the privilege to be involved in this program alongside passionate peers that supports the growth of emerging professionals in our industry. This role was incredibly rewarding and gave me a chance to contribute to meaningful conversations, expand my network and gain valuable perspectives on where the industry is headed.” Himanshu Katyal

Planning, Urban Design and Engagement often intersects with questions of long-term wellbeing—both in the communities we help shape and beyond them. This year, we took that perspective to Bike for Brain Health—supporting @baycrestfoundation work while fundraising together as a team and getting out on our bikes. Together, our team raised over $12,000, with participants cycling distances ranging from 30 to 90 km in support of brain health research and care. The funds raised in support of this effort contribute to ongoing research and care focused on brain health.

Bousfields is proud to be a part of the team behind a new seasonal sports dome for @havergalcollege. Last month the minor variances to accommodate the height and setbacks were approved at North York Committee of Adjustment. As Bousfields Senior Associate, Courtney Heron-Monk, noted “this project represents a significant milestone as the first (and currently only) sports dome supporting an independent girls’ school in the City. It will provide year-round athletic space, helping to remove barriers to access and supporting the continued growth of girls in sport. A great outcome not only for Havergal, but for the broader community as well.”

In collaboration with @uhntoronto, the site will also house a world-leading organ repair centre to advance lifesaving healthcare innovation.

Bousfields was pleased to attend—and sponsor—the @uli_toronto Meet the Chief Planners 2026 Dinner. The evening offered a candid look at how different municipalities are approaching similar challenges —from changing demographics, the pressures related to these changes and the need for flexible policies to ensure resilience for the futures for our cities. It was valuable to hear where priorities are aligning and where they’re diverging across the region. Thanks to ULI Toronto for organizing a thoughtful discussion.
