## Resource

Today on The Peak Daily , we dig into Ottawa’s plan to back Canadian AI startups with a new federal investment fund, and what it could mean for keeping high-potential founders building at home instead of heading south for capital. Then, we head to Vancouver, where a rare office-to-hotel conversion in the city’s downtown core aims to add much-needed rooms in one of Canada’s tightest hotel markets. The Peak Daily is produced in partnership with reframevid.com
