Recently at Morguard, we wrapped up our 12th annual summer intern program, with interns contributing to a variety of departments, including HR, Sustainability, Finance and Accounting, Marketing, IT, and more. This year, our interns also had the chance to participate in team-building and educational activities, all while learning the ropes of their assigned departments. In addition to supporting our teams and enriching our talent pool, the program gave interns the opportunity to develop new skills, make valuable connections, and gain insights into how different areas of the business contribute to the organization's success.

Today, Morguard released its 2024 Canadian Economic Outlook and Market Fundamentals Q2 Update, providing an in-depth analysis of the Canadian real estate market and the economy's performance. The multi-suite residential rental property market saw continued investor confidence during the second quarter of 2024, driven by the sector’s strong long-term fundamental and positive near-term rent growth outlooks. The commercial sector, particularly industrial property sales and retail leasing activity surged, driving overall investment property transaction volume. Looking ahead, further rate cuts by the Bank of Canada and easing inflation pressures are anticipated to boost investor confidence and reduce monetary policy restrictions.
