Welcoming New Talent Through the ELT Program
From August 2024 to March 2025, our High Park Village team welcomed three students through the Toronto District School Board’s English Learning Training (ELT) program. Each brought energy, curiosity, and dedication to customer service, special projects, and administrative support. Sujata, an individual who attended under the ELT program in office administration and customer relations, joined us for a 6-week placement and has since been hired as a Service Coordinator at the property!
As our Talent and Acquisition Specialist, Emma Lopez put it: “Partnerships like the English Learning Training (ELT) program through the TDSB embody the essence of who we are at Minto. We have the incredible opportunity to create a nurturing environment where students can practice the English language in a professional setting. This program not only allows students to gain valuable experience and exposure in the field of Property Management, but it also shines a light on this dynamic and progressive career option.”

Celebrating 70 Years of Building Better Places: The Minto Story (1955-2025)
Seven decades ago, four brothers with a vision started what would become one of Canada's most trusted real estate companies. Today, we celebrate not just our 70th anniversary, but a legacy of innovation that has helped shape Canada's urban landscape.
Our pioneering spirit was evident from the start. In 1969, we revolutionized Ontario's housing market by constructing the province's first high-rise condominium – the iconic Horizon House in Ottawa's Parkwood Hills. This wasn't just a building; it was a bold statement about the future of urban living.
Through the decades, we've consistently pushed boundaries:
• 1950s: Started with a handful of single-family homes in Ottawa
• 1960s: Pioneered high-rise condominiums in Ontario
• 1970s: Introduced innovative features like sunken living rooms in the Ambleside towers
• 1980s-90s: Expanded across Ontario, setting new standards in sustainable development
• 2000s: Launched groundbreaking energy-efficient building practices
• 2010s: Revolutionized urban intensification and mixed-use communities
• 2020s: Leading the charge in addressing Canada's housing challenges through innovative development solutions
Today, our commitment to innovation continues as we work to solve Canada's housing challenges. We're proud to be developing thousands of new homes across our markets, from purpose-built rentals to family-sized homes, all while maintaining our foundational values of quality, sustainability, and community integration.
Here's to 70 years of building better places – and to the exciting developments in the decades ahead.
