Aaron Kurts - Associate, Dentons
About Me:
I grew up in the east end and lived in Montreal and Winnipeg before ultimately returning to Toronto to practice land use planning and development law. Montreal and Winnipeg are great cities but, for me, Toronto takes the cake. My experience trying to find a place to live upon my return to the City, however, was not easy, to say the least, and I’m sure that there are countless similar (or worse) experiences.
Favourite Neighbourhood in the GTA:
If I had to pick one: Leslieville, but also the east end in general. Riverdale Park, Duckworth’s Fish and Chips, the Real Jerk, White Lily Diner, the Fox, and so many other great places that I don’t have space to name. We’re spoiled over there.
What makes you passionate about having a career in the industry?
I’m passionate about our industry because I’ve felt, first hand, the impact of our lack of housing supply, and I’m happy to spend my career helping to create homes for those who want to share in the neighbourhoods that I know make this region great.
