Lockdown Toronto Ep.04 – Chris Hudspeth on the fate of Toronto’s Hospitality Industry


Christopher Hudspeth is the owner and operator of Pegasus on Church and the Chair of The Village Business Improvement Area, and a letter posted to Facebook last week went viral getting picked up by many media outlets on the inadequate government assistance provided to small businesses who cannot bear to weather the storm of the current lock down alone.

Christopher walks us through the current programs, the harm of delivery apps, and a future Toronto where big-bog retail and restaurants are all that’s left.

If you’re looking to help encourage the government to fix this, Christopher suggests that you please add your name to the petitions below.
