Full house at SERRA construction seminar

Urban planner Terry Mills and construction lawyer Paul Hancock addressed concerns raised by almost 60 people attending a construction seminar on March 9th at Greenwood College School in North Toronto.

Both Mr. Hancock and Mr. Mills agreed that residents should try to negotiate with builders and neighbours well before a project reaches Toronto’s Committee of Adjustment.

SERRA thanks both gentlemen for their participation in this free event. Mr. Hancock is an associate with the construction law group at Goldman Sloan Nash & Haber LLP. Mr. Mills can be reached at Arris Strategy Studio.

Residents can contact SERRA with follow-up questions they may have regarding construction issues in our neighbourhood.
