The magnitude of COVID-19’s impact on Canadians’ lives is difficult to fathom. Canada has already lost nearly 9,000 people to the pandemic, with the number ticking steadily upwards; each of those losses has cascaded through families and communities, leaving many thousands more bereaved. Public health guidance around social distancing has resulted in restrictions around traditional mourning customs and rituals—heart-wrenchingly, many were unable even to say goodbye.
“As a Canadian and a philanthropist, I am proud to be supporting the obituary project thatis undertaking in conjunction with the country’s leading journalism schools to commemorate the lives of our fellow citizens who we have lost during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic,” says Frank Giustra.
