Rapid recovery from pandemic's economic impacts for most Canadian provinces and territories
Real gross domestic product (GDP) rose in every province and territory except Saskatchewan in 2021, as many sectors of the Canadian economy continued to emerge from significant contractions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In 2021, all levels of government across the country deployed health measures to slow the spread of the coronavirus and its re-emergence throughout the year. Output of client-facing businesses such as restaurants, hotels, museums, movie theatres, airlines and clothing stores was, for the most part, still well below pre-pandemic levels in every jurisdiction.
