The 13th annual Post City Magazines Real Estate Roundtable in partnership with the Rotman School of Management took place in front of a sold out live studio audience when the storm clouds of COVID-19 were thought of as a distant problem predominantly impacting China, Iran and northern Italy and still not affecting Canada the way we now know it has. Even then, our panellists were alluding to the severity of the virus and what was yet to come. In part one of our podcast series, you will get an introduction to our 10 panellists along with insights from CIBC deputy chief economist Benjamin Tal and Rotman professor of real estate William Stange on how COVID-19 will impact our real estate market and the macro economy in general.
