BOMA Canada (Building Owners and Managers Association of Canada) is the national voice for the Canadian commercial real estate industry. Founded in 1944 and headquartered in Toronto, the organization brings together regional BOMA associations and a national network of building owners, managers, developers, facilities managers, asset managers, leasing professionals, brokers, investors, and service providers representing more than 2.1 billion square feet of commercial real estate in Canada. Its work focuses on issues of national concern for the sector, including advocacy, education, research, standards, recognition, networking, and the exchange of practical expertise across local associations.
BOMA Canada also manages and promotes programs that improve building performance and professional practice. These include BOMA BEST, Canada's largest environmental assessment and certification program for existing buildings, BOMEX and national awards programs that recognize operational and sustainability excellence, and BOMA Enspire, a Natural Resources Canada-supported deep retrofit accelerator for mid-tier commercial buildings. Through its councils, committees, publications, training, events, and sustainability initiatives, BOMA Canada helps the industry respond to policy changes, improve operational performance, advance energy efficiency, and prepare buildings for evolving regulatory and market expectations.
