Perceptions of Personal Safety Among Population Groups Designated as Visible Minorities in Canada During the COVID-19 Pandemic

By L. Heidinger and A. Cotter, published in 2020 by Statistics Canada.

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, fear and misinformation about the virus may disproportionately impact the sense of personal and community safety of some ethno-cultural groups. This article from Statistics Canada focuses on responses submitted from more than 43,000 Canadians between May 12 and 25, 2020, to a crowdsourcing data collection on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Canadian’s perceptions of safety. Understanding perceptions of safety – both in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and in one’s community more generally – adds important insight into one way in which the everyday experiences of visible minority groups can differ from the rest of the population.
