The Department of Canadian Heritage’s Major Events, Commemorations and Capital Experience Branch, plays a vital role in ensuring yearly Canadian celebrations build trust, pride and a sense of national purpose. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department wanted to conduct public opinion research to gauge Canadians’ satisfaction with all Canada Day programming, limited exclusively to broadcast, online and social media channels.
In 2020, it is expected that many Canadians experienced a shift in how they chose to celebrate Canada Day given the restrictions on large gatherings. Ultimately, this research sought to learn what Canadians did to celebrate and gauge the satisfaction of any respondents who had watched Canada Day programming. With the goal of improving future Canada Day engagement, it is important to continue conducting surveys evaluating Canadian attitudes towards Canada Day programming. This research will compliment additional projects conducted by the Department, including website visitation and social media analysis.
The key objectives of the research included:
Exploring unique opportunity to gain insights into Canadian celebrations, taking place outside of large, organized events;
Understanding Canadians’ attitudes surrounding their preferred means of celebrating Canada Day;
Gauging the effectiveness and satisfaction of Canadian Heritage’s or partners’ Canada Day programming;
Continuing to survey the public to assist in the development of future Canada Day programming.
Overall, 40% of Canadians indicated they celebrated Canada Day this year in one way or another. Among those who did not celebrate, the main barrier appears to have been concerns related to COVID-19 (as noted by 18% of those who did not celebrate Canada Day). Among other common reasons, 14% indicated they do not typically celebrate Canada Day and 10% indicated that activities and events, like fireworks, had been cancelled.
While 40% celebrated Canada Day, roughly half this proportion (22%) indicated they had looked for information related to how and where they could celebrate Canada Day this year. The most common resource used was the Internet: 40% said they used certain websites, 39% resorted to Google searches, and 20% said they specifically looked for information on the Government of Canada website. Among all the remaining sources used, the top ones would include Facebook (at 33%) and television, as noted by roughly 1 in four (26%) Canadians.
This year, various Canada Day programming presented by the Government of Canada was “virtual” – in other words it was activities on the Web, televised and streamed online through a range of social media platforms. Over the course of the few weeks preceding July 1, 54% of Canadians recalled having seen, read or heard Government of Canada advertising about the 2020 virtual Canada Day celebrations. Those who did recall seeing advertising were most likely to mention having seen something on television (55%), while 29% recalled something on Facebook and 21% mentioned hearing something on the radio.
Participation or viewership of the various types of virtual programming was measured. Overall, 25% of Canadians indicated taking in at least one of the Government of Canada virtual programming offerings. More specifically:
10% of respondents took in the Canada Day virtual fireworks. Among these respondents, 48% would say that their level of pride in Canada increased (with 16% saying it increased a lot and 15% saying it increase moderately). Among these same respondents, 68% were satisfied with this programming (with 32% indicating they were very satisfied).
8% of respondents viewed the National Day Time Virtual Show on a CBC platform and 5% viewed this programming through social media, a total of over one in ten (13%). Among these respondents, 58% would say that their level of pride in Canada increased (with 15% saying it increased a lot and 23% saying it increase moderately). Among these same respondents, 71% were satisfied with this programming (with 28% indicating they were very satisfied).
7% of respondents viewed the National Evening Virtual Show on a CBC platform and 3% viewed this programming through social media, a total of one in ten (10%). Among these respondents, 49% would say that their level of pride in Canada increased (with 14% saying it increased a lot and 18% saying it increase moderately). Among these same respondents, 67% were satisfied with this programming (with 27% indicating they were very satisfied).
3% of respondents viewed or participated in one of the special Canada Day web videos (e.g. Let’s Cook Together!). Among these respondents, 66% would say that their level of pride in Canada increased (with 20% saying it increased a lot and 22% saying it increase moderately). Among these same respondents, 72% were satisfied with this programming (with 35% indicating they were very satisfied).
When prompted to indicate how else the Canada Day programming made them feel, respondents were most likely to select (among a list of sentiments presented in the survey) “entertained” (41%), “proud” (35%), “joyful” (26%), and “satisfied” (25%).
Among the two free online Canada Day tools offered, 4% of all respondents used the Canada Day playlists and 3% used the Canada Day online celebration kit. Roughly 4 out of 5 playlist users were satisfied with this tool (among whom 38% were very satisfied). Satisfaction was higher among the online celebration kit users, among whom 88% expressed satisfaction with that tool specifically (with 55% indicating they were very satisfied).
Among respondents at least aware of the Canada Day programming presented by the Government of Canada, 10% indicated unprompted the name of a sponsor. The most common one mentioned was Tim Hortons (3%) while other notable mentions (each at about 1% notoriety) included Bell, Canadian Tire, CBC, the Government of Canada, and Rogers.
Looking to the future, very few respondents proposed new ways to help them enjoy Canada Day at home. For the most part (65%), participants did not propose anything while 5% felt everything was “good as is.” Among those who did mention something, ideas included better or more advertising or promotion of what is offered (9%), more “live” events and activities (such as fireworks, musical acts, etc.), try to appeal to different age groups, improving the sound and/or video quality, having more or better representation across Canadian cultures, making the programming longer or available at more times during the day, integrating viewer reactions such as live feedback, Q&A, messaging, etc., and having more virtual activities or making the event more interactive.
Beyond taking in any virtual Government of Canada programming, Canadians celebrated Canada Day in a variety of other ways. When specifically prompted about other virtual programming, 9% indicated they had watched or participated in virtual Canada Day programs offered by other organizations such as municipalities, provincial governments, museums and other private organizations.
Among a host of other activities Canadians mentioned in an unprompted fashion, we find 6% who had a BBQ with friends and/or family, 6% held their own fireworks, 5% put up decorations or wore “Canadian” colours or attire, 5% celebrated at home or had a family dinner, and another 5% celebrated with friends and/or family in the backyard.
A majority of respondents would say they are “very proud” to be Canadian (51%), another 25% would say they are “proud” and 14% would say they are “somewhat proud.” Among these respondents, the greatest sources of pride are derived from:
Our “freedoms”, a sense that Canada is “strong and free”, or that it is a free country (18%);
That Canada is a large and/or beautiful country (12%);
Diversity (11%);
The healthcare system – that it is “free”, universal, etc. (10%);
This is where they were born, that this is “their country” and that they love their country (9%), and,
That Canada and Canadians are caring, kind and helpful (9%).
Most Canadians (93%) use at least one of the social media channels listed in the study at least once a month. Among the ones listed, the most likely to be used at least once a month were Facebook (78%), YouTube (64%), Instagram (45%) and Twitter (26%). Among social media users, 12% shared their Canada Day experience on social media. Among this narrower group of respondents, 31% used the hashtag #CanadaDay or #FêteduCanada.
Report findings are based on a non-probability sample, as respondents had volunteered to participate in Government of Canada online surveys using an online panel. The data have been weighted to reflect the demographic composition of the Canadian general population. As the sample is based on those who initially self-selected for participation in the online panel, no estimates of sampling error can be calculated.
All research work was conducted in accordance with the professional standards established by the Government of Canada Public Opinion Research Standards.
The survey consisted of a national online survey with Canadians, 16 years of age and older. Respondents were invited to participate through an online panel of Canadians.
Quorus collaborated with the client team to design the survey instrument in English and translated the client-approved English version of the survey into French. The approved final questionnaires were programmed for online data collection.
Respondents had the choice to complete the interview in English or French and were informed of their rights under the Privacy and Access to Information Acts.
The survey took on average 10 minutes to complete and consisted of mostly closed-ended questions. Data collection occurred between July 2 and July 16, 2020, including a pretest of the questionnaire.
A total of 5,173 surveys were completed using a stratified random sampling approach within the online panel of Canadian households. For this study, quotas by province were established to generate sufficient data regionally for robust analysis. Data was monitored to aim for a 50/50 gender split in each province, and that no specific age cohort was under-represented. The equivalent margin of error for a probability study would be +/- 1.36%.
Data was weighted by region, gender, and age to ensure that the final distributions within the final sample mirror those of the Canadian population according to the latest Census data.
Respondents were asked to specify whether they had been made aware of the Government of Canada virtual Canada Day celebrations through advertising during the weeks preceding the event. Respondents who answered that they had been made aware were then asked to identify the sources of their exposure to virtual celebration advertising.
More than half of surveyed Canadians (54%) were aware of Government of Canada advertising for the 2020 virtual Canada Day celebrations.
Sources of awareness of virtual celebration advertising include the following:
The primary source of awareness for virtual celebration advertising was television, reported by over half of those aware (55%). Online sources were prevalent, including Facebook (29%), internet websites (19%), YouTube (10%), and Instagram (10%).
Traditional media sources such as radio (21%) and a daily newspaper (11%) were commonly referenced among aware Canadians.
More than a quarter of respondents who were aware of virtual celebration advertising did not provide a source for the weeks preceding the virtual event.
Subgroup differences observed related to the awareness of Canada Day advertising include:
Canadians aged 55 and older were more likely to be aware of advertising for the 2020 virtual Canada Day celebrations when compared with respondents under the age of 55 (59% vs. 51%).
Women were more aware (55%) compared to men (52%), with Facebook reported as an advertising source more among women (32%) than men (26%).

In the days immediately following the event, respondents were asked to specify whether or not they had celebrated Canada in any way in 2020. Those that did not participate in Canada Day celebrations were then asked to list the main reason they did not celebrate.
A total of three in five surveyed Canadians (60%) reported that they did not celebrate Canada Day in any way in 2020.
A variety of demographic differences emerged from the findings, including the following:
Men were more likely to have celebrated Canada Day (43%) when compared to women (37%).
Surveyed Canadians between the ages of 16 to 34 were more likely to celebrate than all older age segments (50% vs. 36%).
Respondents living in Quebec were less likely to celebrate Canada Day in any way when compared to respondents in the rest of the country (16% vs. 47%).

Overall respondents were primarily concerned with safety surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, likely accounting for atypical celebration figures. Many respondents felt that Canada Day was just like any other and would not have participated regardless of the conditions surrounding the pandemic. The most directly attributable dip in participation due to a reduced experience came in the form of the cancellation of fireworks.
Various reasoning for a lack of celebration emerged from the findings, including the following:
Among respondents who did not celebrate Canada Day in 2020, nearly one in five (18%) chose to stay home surrounding COVID-19 safety concerns.
Comparatively, one in ten Canadians who did not celebrate, felt that Canada Day was cancelled due to no events being held, particularly a lack of fireworks.
More than one in ten respondents (14%) who did not celebrate would not normally celebrate Canada Day regardless of circumstances surrounding COVID-19.
Less than one in ten (6%) of surveyed Canadians who did not celebrate Canada Day, felt they could not celebrate adequately based on the social restrictions in place.
Respondents over the age of 44 were more likely to have stayed home than younger respondents (20% vs. 15%).

Among surveyed non-racialized Canadians who did not celebrate Canada Day in 2020, nearly two in five (15%) did not normally celebrate, higher when compared to racialized Canadians (7%) and Indigenous Canadians (4%).
Outside of any virtual programs, respondents were asked to describe any alternative forms of celebration they had undertaken for Canada Day 2020.
Nearly three in five survey participants (61%) did not celebrate Canada Day this year, while nearly two in five participants (39%) celebrated Canada Day in alternative ways.
Among the most popular alternatives to the virtual Canada Day celebration, having a BBQ with family and friends was the preferred alternative (6%), followed closely by watching fireworks (6%), putting up decorations or wearing Canadian attire (5%), spending time with family in the backyard (5%), and staying at home for a family dinner (5%).

Nearly one in ten surveyed Canadians (7%) made use of either the Canada Day Online Celebration Kit or the Canada Day Playlists.
Differences among age groups emerged from the findings, including the following:
As age increases, the use of the Canada Day tools decreases. Respondents aged 65 and older were less likely to have used either tool when compared to those 16 to 24 (1% vs. 14%).
Younger respondents, specifically those 16 to 34 years old, were more active users of the Canada Day Playlists when compared to respondents aged 35 years or older (8% vs. 3%).

Respondents aged 16 to 44 were more likely to recall seeing or hearing of any sponsorship during exposure to any of the Canada Day programming compared to those 65 years and older (16% vs. 9%).
Surveyed Canadians living in Alberta and British Columbia were more likely to recall seeing or hearing of any sponsorship during exposure to any of the Canada Day programming, compared to those living in Quebec and the Prairies (16% vs. 10%).
Residents of Alberta and British Columbia are more likely to recall Tim Hortons as a sponsor (3%) in comparison to the Prairies (1%).
Comparatively, respondents aged 65 years and older were less likely to recall seeing Tim Hortons as a sponsor compared to younger respondents (1% vs. 3%).

After the first year of implementing virtual forms of Canada Day programming, respondents were asked to provide their feedback for ways the Government of Canada can improve future virtual celebrations.
Nearly one in ten surveyed Canadians felt that in order to improve virtual celebrations in the future, there must be better promotion of the event across all media platforms (9%).
Alternatively, less than one in ten felt that virtual celebrations would not be of interest to them (7%), as it is not the same experience as in person.
Age group differences emerged from the findings, including the following:
Respondents aged 16 to 44 were more likely to describe the need for more promotion, compared with those aged 45 years or more (12% vs. 7%).
Those aged 45 years and older were more likely to not be interested in virtual celebrations compared with those 16 to 44 (8% vs. 5%).
Additional demographic differences emerged from the findings, including the following:
At a regional level, surveyed Canadians living in Quebec were less likely to recommend more advertising for virtual celebrations when compared with the rest of Canada, excluding those living in the North (6% vs. 10%).
Women were more likely to recommend improved advertising across all media platforms (11%) when compared to men (8%).
Racialized Canadians were more likely to recommend increasing the amount of advertising promoted (12%) when compared to non-racialized Canadians (9%) and Indigenous Canadians (8%).
Q7: This year, for the first time, the Government of Canada developed new ways to help you enjoy Canada Day at home. What could they do to improve virtual celebrations in the future? Base: All Respondents, n=5,173.

Report findings are based on a non-probability sample, as respondents had volunteered to participate in Government of Canada online surveys using an online panel. The data have been weighted to reflect the demographic composition of the Canadian general population. As the sample is based on those who initially self-selected for participation in the online panel, no estimates of sampling error can be calculated. All research work was conducted in accordance with the professional standards established by the Government of Canada Public Opinion Research Standards, as follows:
The survey consisted of a national online survey with Canadians, 16 years of age and older. Respondents were invited to participate through an online panel of Canadians.
Quorus collaborated with the client team at Canadian Heritage to design the survey instrument in English and translated the client-approved English version of the survey into French.
Respondents had the choice to complete the survey in English or French and were informed of their rights under the Privacy and Access to Information Acts.
The survey took on average 10 minutes to complete and consisted of mostly closed-ended questions.
Data collection occurred between July 2 and July 16, 2020, and included a pretest of 11 surveys with English respondents and 10 with French respondents. The pretest helped to assess the flow of the survey, comprehension of the questions, language, data integrity, and particularly the length of the survey.
A total of 5,173 surveys were completed using a stratified random sampling approach within the online panel of Canadian households. For this study, quotas by province were established to generate sufficient data regionally for robust analysis. Data was monitored to aim for a 50/50 gender split in each province, and that no specific age cohort was under-represented. The equivalent margin of error for a probability study would be +/- 1.36%.
Data were weighted by region, gender and age to ensure that the final distributions within the final sample mirror those of the Canadian population according to the latest Census data.
This report compares significant findings among key demographic subgroups including region, age and gender. Significant results by ethnicity have been included where appropriate with data not displayed in the tables due to spacing. For the purpose of this study, non-racialized respondents are defined as those identifying as white or Canadian. Racialized respondents are defined as those that identify as at least one or more ethnicities.
A variety of questions were asked to participants to obtain their demographic information. This information not only allowed the research team to understand the profile of those participating in the study, but also to weight the data and ensure results are representative of the population.
