Other notable dates include March 16, when all non-residents were banned from entering Canada, May 4, when some provinces began to lift their original restrictions, and the month of May in general, when unemployment rates reached a record high. 

In September, kids went back to school, but in December, Ontario went into lockdown and Alberta announced strict health orders.

By January, Quebec had imposed its curfew and employment had declined by 213,000 jobs, hitting young women the hardest.
