Andrew Vrana

Senior Planner

As the Senior Planner at SHS, Andrew’s primary area of focus is affordable housing development, with a secondary role assisting in housing research studies and policy development projects. With a background in urban and regional planning, Andrew often assists with site research, preparing development applications, and planning policy research and analysis.

Andrew is heavily involved in his community, volunteering with safe-cycling advocacy group Cycle Toronto, and holds an advisory board position with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.

Prior to joining SHS and his return to school, Andrew worked at LinkedIn for nearly five years in project and change management. His passion for community planning and housing issues ultimately led to his career change.
