The future of work and what it means for Toronto's economic recovery What that means will be the focus of plans to help the city recover from the pandemic, says Mayor John Torrey.

The Tories, running for reelection in the fall, set five pillars for economic recovery in their annual speech to the Toronto Regional Trade Commission (TRBT) on Thursday. Announced. Workers' Office

"Even in the darkest days of the crisis, there is always tomorrow, the next day, the next day," the Tories said in a speech note. "The plan requires a commitment to come back even stronger than before ... as it was during the crisis itself."

The city is booming before the pandemic and is possible again. He said.

Tories' plans include attracting new businesses, supporting existing, especially small businesses, growing the economy and embracing the future.

"There are great opportunities to deal with big challenges as well as the big ones we are facing," he said. "No doubt, pandemics hurt people and businesses."

One of the key questions is whether an employee plans to return to the office after working at home for more than two years.

"How important is it for individuals, businesses, and the economy itself to return to the office," the Tories said. "Is the change in work habits permanent? If so, how does it affect the workplace, career development, and family?"

The Tories answer these questions. He said he would convene an expert advisory board.

The local elections are scheduled for October 24th, and nine candidates have registered to run for mayor.
