Government House, in partnership with the Angus Reid Institute and the Vancouver Foundation, has supported the creation of two reports examining the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Canadian society, and how we connect in the wake of pandemic-related challenges.
The first study finds increased enthusiasm for social supports, more concern about environmental protection, and an ever-creeping secularism in Canadian society.

The second study looks at changing community connections and realities after two years of pandemic-related challenges. The results suggest a society where belonging and connection are splintered along generational lines, with older residents drawing strength and comfort from their place-based communities, and younger people finding a sense of community rooted not in physical space but defined instead by ethnic or experience-based connections.
