Week 42 Results

Self-reported mental health rises for the second consecutive week while stress levels remain steady.

With news of increased vaccine rollout and reduced active cases, outlook for the weeks ahead is more optimistic than it has been since last June.

Assessments of COVID-19 vaccination progression improve for the first time in a month, yet opinions on the rollout remain largely poor.

One half of residents now support loosening public health measures.

Intention of spending more time in one’s yard, compared to pre-pandemic times, is high.

Since March 23, 2020, we started sharing a few brief insights from our online community, SaskWatch Research^®. As we monitor and trend the results by week, we will share the information with you as we get it.
