The synergy between CIMA+ and the Ontario government’s Building Faster Fund underscores our dedication to shaping the future. The Fund, a three-year, $1.2 billion initiative is congruent with CIMA+’s values and expertise. As municipalities tackle housing challenges, the Fund provides financial incentives to jurisdictions achieving their housing targets.

CIMA+’s participation in the 2023 Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference in London reaffirms our commitment to collaboration for change. Engaging with municipal officials and senior members of the Ontario government, CIMA+ demonstrates its dedication to understanding municipalities’ unique challenges, enabling tailor-made solutions in line with the Building Faster Fund’s objectives, which were announced at the conference in August 2023.

The similarities between CIMA+’s values and the Building Faster Fund’s mission is evident. The Fund’s focus on expedited home construction, combined with our dedication to engineering for a better world, forms the basis of a promising partnership for positive change. With shared priorities of sustainable development, innovation, and societal betterment, CIMA+ and the Building Faster Fund pave the way for thriving communities and accessible housing.
