Our Work

CityWatch Canada

CityWatch Canada is an interactive tool that tracks municipal response measures that have been put in place by local governments in 65 cities across Canada, including major urban centres in all provinces and territories, and all cities with populations over 100,000.

It provides invaluable lessons about how municipalities are responding to extraordinary challenges during this time. Find information on which cities are in a state of emergency, the status of municipal buildings and public facilities, the impact on local governance, financial supports announced for residents, businesses, and municipal employees, and more. Additional emergency measures are added and monitored as COVID-19 evolves.
