Impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians – Parenting During the Pandemic: Share your perspective 

Below is an invitation from Statistics Canada to participate in a crowdsourcing initiative to collect data on how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting families with children under the age of 15. We encourage you to share your insights. The data you provide will be helpful for making future plans.

Invitation from Statistics Canada:

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the lives and habits of all Canadians, yet data on the impacts to children and their families is limited. If you are the parent or guardian of children aged 0 to 14, please take a few minutes to complete the questionnaire and feel free to forward this email to others—the more people participate, the better the data.

Your participation is important: Your voice matters

Tell us how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected your family, and how you are adjusting to the challenges of this new reality. This questionnaire focuses on children’s activities, child care and school, employment status, and your concerns for your family’s overall well-being.

Results will be used by government organizations such as the Public Health Agency of Canada and Employment and Social Development Canada, and other types of organizations, to evaluate the delivery of health and social services and economic support, and to ensure best practices are adopted when reopening workplaces and public spaces.

Participating is easy and secure

This survey is conducted under the authority of the Statistics Act, which ensures that the information you provide will be kept confidential, and used only for statistical and research purposes.

Keep checking back

In order to collect information on specific topics related to the impacts of the pandemic, the questionnaire will change on a regular basis. Visit on June 23 to see the next topic and complete a new questionnaire. Your opinion matters to us!
