While the pandemic has led to many negative consequences, Narrative Research has found some positive outcomes as well.
In a recent survey, many Canadians said the pandemic gave them the opportunity to slow down and enjoy personal and family time.
Respondents said they baked or cooked more than usual, read more and just generally had a chance to relax.
Close to half indicated they slept more while one-third have exercised more than normal.
Three in 10 Canadians report having developed a new friendship or deepened an existing one.
Across the country, results were generally consistent regardless of province or gender.
More than 1,200 Canadian adults were surveyed from July 9 to 11.
