St. Clair O’Connor Community Inc., is an intergenerational community that is adopting the small house model to redevelop and nearly double its long-term care spaces in the heart of Toronto. 

Join Catherine Schalk and Aldred Neufeldt as they share how, by following the Small House Model, they have been able to lessen the social stigma around long term care living, affordable housing and senior’s aging in place.  

They will share the challenges they faced in working with regulations and zoning, including some of the work arounds they created in order to comply with Ontario Ministry of Long-Term Care regulations and City of Toronto zoning, while staying true to their mission of creating a home that is not institutional in an institutional world. They will walk you through the journey of bringing their small house dream to reality while rolling out their Eden Philosophy and putting people first.
