One of the segments of the economy that has been hit hard by the current pandemic but that the media has not yet focused on is real estate, in spite of the fact that keeping the value of real property intact is an important component of any sustainable economic recovery. Are we doing enough in Canada to ensure that real estate values will recover and continue to be one of the pillars of our financial strength? Do all asset classes face the same challenges emerging from COVID 19, and what can we do to foster a strong recovery? What specific threats face the real property industry over the coming months and years?
Join three industry leaders in a discussion with Sheila Botting, as they attempt to lay down some guidelines and warnings for the months ahead and to forge a path on what will no doubt be a long and at times winding road to recovery.
