Garth Brown Discusses the Importance of Secondary Housing Units

September 17, 2025

Today, updated municipal by-laws across Ontario empower homeowners to build one or more legal secondary units on their properties, including basement apartments and detached garden suites of up to 800 square feet. To mobilize homeowners and raise awareness about the life-changing potential of secondary suites, Garth Brown, in partnership with Halton Women's Place and Home Suite Hope, will host a housing information session on Tuesday, September 23rd. Jason Agnew chatted with Garth to get more information on Haven to Home but started with how he got involved with the cause.
