The global COVID-19 pandemic is having far-reaching effects in Toronto, including major impacts to what have been booming real estate and building industries. Many jobs and most events are currently suspended, postponed, or affected in other ways, though UrbanToronto is still operating at full strength with our team working remotely. As a means to keep the public in the loop about the shutdowns, we'll be sharing information and status updates from around the industry on a regular basis. 

In today's report: City of Toronto helps small businesses by re-opening CurbTO registration for temporary pick-up zones, City Council unanimously approves MoveTO action plan to help manage congestion and build a more resilient and safer transportation system, GTA new home market solid in October, and more news from the COVID-19 front.
