Monday, October 5, 2015 (Companion Breakfast 7:30am - 8:30am Simcoe/Duffern Room)- Neighbourhood Tour: The Danforth, The Distillery District, Little Portugal, Cabbagetown, Yorkville and Forest Hill
The Danforth-to the area known by its residents as Greektown. This area is filled with lively Greek restaurants and shops and is enjoyed by thousands who stroll its sidewalks sampling the cuisine and music of this lively culture.
Little Portugal- Portuguese immigration to Toronto began in the early 1950's, and peaked in the late 1960's and early 1970s. Toronto is home to the largest concentration of Portuguese (171,545) in the country. The majority of this group (96,815) lives in the City of Toronto, of which 12,075 reside in Little Portugal, the historical core of Portuguese settlement in Toronto. Little Portugal is located in the downtown west end of Toronto.
Cabbagetown-an area named because the early inhabitants actually grew cabbages in their front gardens! The gentrification of the homes over the past decade has provided unique dwellings for the avant-garde. You will enjoy the unbroken streetscapes of attractive 19th century houses, tall budding trees and the atmosphere of real neighbourhoods in the heart of a large metropolis.
Yorkville and Forest Hill-where the elite live and shop. Drive along to one of Toronto's original streets, Spadina Road. Now known as the Fashion "rag trade" District, this area is home to many clothing discount stores. Surrounding this area is also North America's second largest Chinatown that is continuing to grow and expand at a rapid pace. Experience the beehive of activity and industry in this ever-changing and always exciting neighbourhood.

Component parts of the systems are discussed within a framework of living microbial systems, ease of inspection & maintenance, and low H&S risks over the long term. Septic tanks in 8.2.2.3. provide initial digestion and we will describe how these work, how they are sized, and trouble-shooting tips. Also described is how soils or sand fill operates as sewage treatment in absorption trenches 8.7.3., raised beds 8.7.4. and Filter Beds 8.7.5., as well as filtration treatment outside the natural environment with the SB-5 units with their disposal bed options as in 8.7.6., 8.7.7., and BMEC Authorizations. Critical to successful operation is siting of the system with respect to other buildings, determining actual soil permeability, slope of adjacent properties, and choosing the right treatment option for difficult soil types such as flat clay areas. Maintenance contracts & homeowner recommendations will be emphasized. more – Craig Jowett, Brady Straw — Waterloo Biofilter Systems Inc. |

Proper Usage and Installation.
Structural connectors are used on almost every jobsite. Joist hangers, hurricane ties, column caps and bases, straps and brick ties are only some examples of connectors where specific fasteners are required to ensure proper performance. Installation using the wrong fastener or incorrect use of a connector can lead to unwanted deflection and can severely jeopardize the structural integrity of the building.
This presentation will explore the use of structural connectors and fasteners within the scope of Part 4 and Part 9 buildings. The basic fasteners will be discussed: nails, screws and bolts, along with their failure modes and why substitution for the specified fastener is not always acceptable. more – Brent Bunting — Simpson Strong-Tie Canada, Ltd. |

The growth of these in the past five years has skyrocketed and will have a tremendous impact on building departments.
This presentation will review Inspection Orders issued under the Section 21.(1) of the Fire Protection and Prevention Act - the various types of Orders, and the limitations with respect to the Building Code Act. As many of these will require construction, and therefore building permits, the role of municipal building and fire officials in plan review and inspections will be addressed.
