Round Ten - April 2021
The Social Contours and COVID-19 Project: One year on
The pandemic has disrupted all our lives, for some more than others. Since early May, we have been collecting data in our province about what people are thinking and doing about the pandemic. This information is analyzed to learn more about COVID-19 in our province and to share these learnings with others.
It should take you about 15 minutes to complete this questionnaire, which is hosted by Voxco, a Canadian-owned and managed company whose data is securely stored in Canada.
