Press Release
Deaths, 2020
There were 307,205 deaths in Canada in 2020, an increase of 21,935 over the number of deaths observed in 2019. While some year-to-year increase in the number of deaths is expected, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on mortality in Canada, contributing to the largest annual decline in life expectancy since the vital statistics registration system was introduced in 1921.
Performing arts, 2020
In 2020, the performing arts industry was directly affected by federal and provincial government measures put in place to control the spread of COVID-19. From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada in March 2020, government restrictions led to the cancellation or postponement of shows across all provinces, greatly limiting most business operations. Even with growing digital sales and government grants and subsidies aimed at helping businesses through the pandemic, industry revenues declined by a record $783.8 million from 2018 to $1.8 billion in 2020, falling to their lowest level since comparable data became available in 2014. With losses in operating revenues outpacing those of operating expenses (-$635.4 million), the operating profit margin for the industry fell 2.6 percentage points to 10.4% in 2020.
