Toronto Builders & Developers Merge Lobby Groups

Toronto Land developers and Home builders hope the merger of their two industry groups will help them to lobby governments more effectively by giving them a more powerful voice.

The Greater Toronto Home Builders Association has joined with the Urban Development Institute to create a combined entity of 1,500 builders, developers and related companies.

The new organization, which will represent the residential development industry, will lobby politicians on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, provincial legislators at Queen's Park, and local politicians in the Greater Toronto Area.
