Across Canada, 54% of the victim services surveyed reported an increase in the number of victims they served during the pandemic. Calls for domestic disturbances were also up 12% during the first few months of the pandemic. Keep in mind that the majority of victims of domestic abuse never call the police or speak up about their experiences in fear of their abusers.

I try to buy from small and local business in my own community as much as possible, but this makes it so you can find and shop other small businesses in other locations, as well. With a lot of small businesses being hit so hard by coronavirus lockdowns and/or restrictions, this can literally save a business from having to close. Also, if you have a business, you can contact them and get listed on the site.
