New federal modelling warns of 'ongoing rapid acceleration' of COVID-19 in Canada – CTV News
TORONTO —
Reported daily COVID-19 caseloads in Canada could reach unprecedented highs later this month if current levels of virus transmission are not reduced, new federal modelling data shows.
On the eve of the Labour Day weekend, Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam took aim at young adults, describing an “urgent need” for more people between the ages of 18 and 39 to get vaccinated in order to prevent a rapid worsening of Canada’s COVID-19 situation.
She also called on all Canadians to limit their contacts as summer comes to a close, sending many back to schools and workplaces.
“Right now is not the time to gather in huge numbers with people that are not in your household, without taking significant layers of protection,” she said on Friday at a press conference.
The modelling data from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) suggests that if public health measures are able to reduce the level of transmission across the country by 25 per cent, the fourth wave of the pandemic could soon plateau at a lower daily infection rate than the peaks of the second and third waves.
PHAC reports that Canada is experiencing “ongoing rapid acceleration” of COVID-19 activity, including in cases causing severe illness.

Every Child Matters! The 3rd Annual Montreal March for the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation to take place on September 30

Members of the media are encouraged to schedule interviews 60-90 minutes in advance for background and preview stories.
Date: Saturday, September 30th, 2023
Time: 1pm (media spokespersons will be on-site at 11:30am)
Location: Parc Jeanne-Mance (near the Monument Cartier)
Montreal, September 28, 2023 – On Saturday, Montrealer’s will be gathering for the 3rd Annual March for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This year’s peaceful march is organized by The Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal and Resilience Montreal, and will highlight continued struggles for justice and dignity in Indigenous communities.
Since the first discovery of mass graves in 2021, searches across the country are ongoing near former Indian Residential Schools and that number has doubled.
Na’kuset, E.D. of NWSM: “This day needs to be more about challenging systemic discrimination, taking accountability, and creating justice. History will now have to be rewritten and we need your help with empowering Indigenous children.”
David Chapman, E.D. of Resilience Montreal: “The legacy of residential schools continues into the present. There is a significant over-representation of Indigenous people among the homeless population of Montreal. They are frequently the children of residential school survivors. Until this reality is taken seriously, we will not end homelessness.”
Ann Deer, Board Member of Resilience Montreal: “My vision is to build a safe community for the next seven generations.”
We call upon the community in the spirit of reconciliation, to join us in this walk with their friends, families, and allies to listen and learn from our speakers and walk in our moccasins. We encourage participants to bring their drums, posters, and banners.
