Ontario is slowly reopening, and by fall, pre-pandemic life is expected to make a full comeback. For Toronto, that could mean returning to a daily commute and office life once again.
When it comes to Torontos burgeoning tech scene, office space and desk jobs are practically a given since many of the major tech giants have announced plans to expand in Toronto with new office spaces or headquarters.

In late March, Reddit opened the doors to a new office on University Avenue.
