This groundbreaking course—the only one of its kind in Toronto—is specifically designed for builders, small-scale developers, or homeowners, along with real estate professionals or investors, including agents, brokers, investors, and advisors, who are eager to gain a deep, expert-level understanding of EHON’s transformative policies. Use the knowledge to make money in 2026 and beyond.

The course is named “All About EHON” and a brief outline and guide is available HERE on the LearnWorlds website.
The training/learning package is 13+ modules, each consisting of over 1 hour of self-paced learning on all the aspects of Toronto’s EHON program, and how it’s changing housing forms and options all across the city.
It’s designed to help almost any business or consumer increase sales, and/or succeed in 2026 – and well beyond.
The neighbourhoods we see all around us today will look different in 10 years time, and many professionals and homeowners will help shape that, and in many cases guide their clients too.
The 13+ self-guided modules roll out starting on January 25, 2026.
The full course – 13+ chapters/modules – with unlimited access, chapter-ending self-tests and check-ups, unlimited questions and again – over an hour of self-paced learning for each chapter/module – is priced at $99 plus tax, for the first 50 entrants that sign up.
Access (just $99) is available for the first 50 entrants, that sign up now.
Access – regular $149 – now just $99 plus tax, for the first 50 entrants.
The information provided at the learning site is ALL the information provided in our 30+ in-person sessions we have conducted at real estate offices, online, and at public events over the past 18 months, but MUCH more comprehensive, and with the ability of all course participants to go back and review and refresh – and even reference – the details.

Garden Suites (module #5 – released March 16th) and Laneway Houses (module #6 – released March 18th)
The Toronto laneway house program began in the summer of 2018; garden suites followed in 2022. Nearly 2000 have now been built.
In modules #5 and #6 we will go through both programs thoroughly.
Particularly, we will explore property values before and after a suite has been added.
A Shifting Reality in Lot Dimensions: Why Width Matters More Than Ever – and more – from module #3 at All About EHON
Imagine one is deciding between two comparable homes—similar price, similar condition—but one sits on a narrow 20×130 lot, while the other boasts a wider 25×100 footprint. Just a few years ago, many real estate agents might have dismissed the difference as negligible. Today, however, the wider lot represents a significantly superior investment, with compelling advantages across aesthetics, functionality, and long-term value.
As a smart homeowner or industry professional, arm yourself with this insight: wider lots often deliver enhanced curb appeal (a broader facade makes the home appear more substantial and inviting), better interior layouts (wider floor plans feel more open and modern), improved driveway and parking options, greater side yard privacy, and—crucially—much stronger redevelopment potential. Probably 5x more development potential, due to required setbacks, egress and fenestration restrictions near lot lines. In almost all cases, extra frontage unlocks opportunities for expansions, additions, or even severances that narrower lots simply can’t accommodate.
Position yourself as the expert who identifies these hidden gems for yourself or other investors, spotting lots with premium width that maximize future upside.
~ topics like the above are explored in-depth, in module #3 of our All About EHON online course.
In chapter/module #2 (online February 10th, 2026), we will take you all through the zoning rules, and understanding all zoning maps and codes and exceptions, throughout the city.
