More recently, there have been significant new development under the amended industrial zoning bylaw provisions enabling new light industry / commercial buildings with tech uses including software and life-science sectors.The profile of jobs in this eclectic area has changed over the last few decades, with loss of traditional manufacturing and growth of tech businesses, yet a number of old residential houses still remain.You’ll see examples of innovative multi-level industrial buildings combined with other employment uses; you’ll hear from an industrial lands planner expert / connoisseur; and you’ll learn about how light industry can fit into a modern urban form.About the Tour GuideEric Aderneck, RPP, MPL, BCOM, DULE, is a Registered Professional Planner.
