Tooketree Passive Homes, a sustainable builder based in Muskoka, has recently been recognized by one Canadian and one International organization focused on promoting climate solutions.
Foresight Canada, a cleantech accelerator that launches, commercializes and scales climate solutions across Canada, named Tooketree Passive Homes to its Foresight 50 list. The list recognizes Canada’s most investible cleantech ventures helping to drive the transition to a green economy.
Tooketree’s co-founder and CFO, Rick Zytaruk celebrated this milestone in Vancouver, BC, alongside international investors, industry leaders, and innovators from across the Canadian cleantech community.
“We are thrilled with the recognition that our work is seen by investors as a solution to climate change and the housing crisis,” says Zytaruk.
Days later in Toronto, Tooketree was presented with the Innovation in Industry Award at the Ontario Embodied Carbon Awards, presented in partnership with Climate Leadership Forum. The awards celebration took place on the evening of November 12th.
These Awards celebrate outstanding project leaders who minimize their environmental impact by reducing their carbon footprint. The program aims to spark innovation and encourage project teams to prioritize minimizing embodied carbon emissions.
“Receiving this award for our work motivates us to work even harder and to grow our business for the benefit of Muskoka and the climate,” says Zytaruk.
From their Baysville factory, the tight-knit team at Tooketree Passive Homes manufactures high-quality prefabricated wall, floor, and roof panels made with natural materials. Tooketree was established in 2018 to address both the climate crisis and the need for affordable housing.
