The Uncertain Future of the Canadian Office Market

When COVID-19 emerged and the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a “Pandemic” on March 11, 2020, the world instantly changed. The global economy came to a screeching halt via government-mandated lockdowns and, out of necessity, the world’s service workers pivoted immediately to a work-from-home model.
