Reopening businesses
- Support for businesses page on Canada.ca -Short-term plan for Business-DRAFT
- Trying to get a sense of what information businesses are looking for on canada.ca
- Lots of similarities btw business and individuals around financial support
- Two main areas: financial support; guidance and standards
- Deck will be shared on the Wiki by Gil for the rest of the group (link above)
- Main business landing page mirrors other covid19 landing pages for findability and structure
- Ontario was one of the top 50 searches (net new) - assumption is many Ontario businesses looking for information/guidance
- To ensure effectiveness of the business support, we are doing 3 rounds of unmoderated testing; page success widget, daily monitoring of analytics and task success survey

Central page for travel restrictions within Canada - Mary Beth
- Interprovincial wiki page created by Mary-Beth
- Links (mini content inventory) to main travel advice from each province
- Main aim is to ensure Canadians understand where they can go (within Canada)
- Celeste: the question of travel also depends on where I reside (i.e. if I’m coming from a place with more cases)
- Christina: Northwest territories - borders are restricted
- Issue with the restrictions is the charter of rights for Canadians to be able to move freely - so we have the restrictions but the ability to enforce them is difficult
- Cannot prohibit them from entering but can manage their travel w/in the province - it’s tricky
- Page that has the most traction is the border entry/exit restrictions
- Would be great to have it in one central page - but even just in the territory it’s been hard to explain only in this jurisdiction
- Aiming to one central page ( many seemed in agreement even though it’s tricky) without duplicating the information
- VL (PEI): The link on the wiki is good for those in the atlantic bubble but not for the rest of Canadians
- Needs some more thinking ( preliminary spreadsheet with what province you are from and to which you’re travelling to - perhaps this could feed into the wizard?)
- Goal: Improve Travellers within Canada section (new page?) for Canadians wanting to take summer vacations:
- Currently: Travellers within Canada
- What content/pages exist for each province/territory:
- What tasks do they have?
- Central page with links - Posted to the wiki: COVID-19 Interprovincial and territorial travel connections
- How we can link out from the federal content
Data visualization - Rob/Michael
- Main goal is to aggregate data from multiple sources for different audiences and that the data is consistent across all canada.ca
- Important considerations included audience; data overload for the public and being unable to understand or misinterpret; and urgency and privacy concerns
- Impact: 152K since launch (in 3 weeks) - the epidemiological and economic research data
- Key takeaways: solution is repeatable and collaborative nature allowed data to be efficiently published in a timely manner
- Ontario's data visualization: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data
- Alberta's data page: https://www.alberta.ca/stats/covid-19-alberta-statistics.htm

- Engagement piece from Manitoba - Richard Cormier
