This is a detailed summary of the results of the first round of six online focus groups conducted in June 2020, as Canadians emerged from the first COVID-19 lock-down. It found among other things that people did not draw parallels between the health emergency and climate emergency, and that they had noticed environmental benefits as life slowed down. A shorter summary of the findings is also available.
