The multi-unit residential market in Canada is filled with opportunity, as well as constant change. That’s why Canadian Apartment Magazine (CAM) is designed to give property owners and managers the information and tools needed to understand the relevant issues and to capitalize on their investments. With our unprecedented focus on industry leaders, enhancing cash flow, reducing operating costs and maximizing marketing efforts, CAM is providing the articles that our readers have told us they want to read. Our efforts include assisting our audience to navigate legal issues by highlighting the initiatives of landlord advocacy groups and keeping on top of regulatory updates. Much of the content of CAM comes directly from the pens and minds of industry professionals and experts, who bring an understanding of the dayto-day challenges of the multi-unit sector. These range from the overarching trends and statistics to the nuts and bolts of administering a facility, covering the many aspects of this diverse industry.
