CF Sherway Gardens’ North Expansion Green Roof Tour: Exploring Canada’s Largest Soilless Green Roof

F Sherway Gardens’ north expansion features Canada’s largest soilless green roof, spanning 9,500 m² (102,000 sq. ft.). Designed by DIALOG, it demonstrates resilient, high-performing green infrastructure within a complex urban setting.

Key discussion points:

• Design & system selection

• Construction logistics

• Stormwater performance

• Maintenance insights
