Spotlight Development Inc. was proud to have its President and Founder, Sherry Larjani, participate in the National Housing Panel at the Casgrain Economic Conference, hosted by Casgrain & Company Limited. The event brought together leaders from across Canada’s housing and financial sectors to discuss innovative, actionable strategies to address the country’s ongoing housing crisis.

The panel—moderated by Ray Williams, ICD.D, LL.D of National Bank of Canada—included esteemed housing leaders Stéphane Giguère, CEO of Ottawa Community Housing Corporation, and Michael Fedchyshyn, President of the Building Ontario Fund. Sherry Larjani joined as a representative of the development community and a champion of inclusive housing models.

“It was deeply humbling to share the stage with three individuals I believe represent the clarity, commitment, and strategy Canada urgently needs,” said Larjani. “Housing is not just an economic issue—it’s a moral one. To move forward, we need bold, coordinated leadership across the public, private, and non-profit sectors.”

The panel emphasized collaboration, long-term planning, and the importance of integrated, community-led approaches to solving housing insecurity. Larjani, known for leading Canada’s largest wrap-around affordable housing initiative, The Inclusive, spoke to the critical role of private-sector innovation in partnership with social and government institutions.
Spotlight Development extends its thanks to Casgrain & Company Limited for facilitating this vital conversation. Events like these provide a platform to align sectors, spark ideas, and drive the urgent momentum required to reshape Canada’s housing landscape.
