Statistics Canada is collecting information on the impact of COVID-19 on people with long-term conditions and disabilities
Anybody living in Canada who has a long-term condition or disability, including undiagnosed or non-visible, can participate.

We hope this email finds you, your family and colleagues safe and healthy.
Many questions have been raised about the impact of COVID-19 on Canadian society. In order to address this information need, Statistics Canada has developed short crowdsourcing questionnaires to collect information on specific topics related to the impacts of the pandemic.
Until July 6, 2020, we are asking about the challenges of living with a long-term condition or disability during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how that has impacted employment, household expenses, and access to health services. Anybody living in Canada who has a long-term condition or disability, including undiagnosed or non-visible, can participate. Caregivers may also respond on behalf of someone who cannot participate on their own, including their children.
This information 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.
The results will be released on our website in August.
