Purpose of the Workshop
This workshop is designed to bring together key industry participants building housing — developers, general contractors, manufacturers, policymakers, housing organizations and more — to discuss how off-site construction can address housing challenges in the Atlantic provinces. Through facilitated discussions, participants will contribute to a strategy for OSC adoption.

How Your Input Will Be Used
