Coming up this Sunday on Cross Country Checkup…

Mayors from around the country are trying to find ways to revitalize their downtowns as workers are staying home more often, and spending their money elsewhere.

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow made headlines this week after the topic came up in a recent conversation she had with bank executives.

Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe said that work from home is having a huge impact on his downtown core, back when federal workers were being asked to come back into the office more often.

This Sunday Checkup is asking: Is working from home killing downtown cores? How would you feel about being forced back into the office?

And what questions do you have for Canada’s Housing Minister? What would you like him to know about housing in this country?

Sean Fraser is our guest on this Sunday’s Ask Me Anything!
