That\u2019s why Equiton partnered with the\u00a0 John Molson School of Business at Concordia University<\/span>\u00a0to examine how climate change affects Canadian real estate through the lenses of physical risk and migration patterns. This report explores how climate events are reshaping the country\u2019s population growth, shifting regional real estate markets, and redefining risks and rewards for investors.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
