But are sights and attractions open? Are cultural activities underway? Are people terrified, or generally going around their normal lives?
Thanks for the insight.
I can only speak for Montreal but I have had as normal a summer as possible going out to restaurants and bars so yes, there is activities albeit capacity controlled. Even went to see a football game last weekend, first time in a long time! 80%+ of people over 12 are fully vaccinated in Quebec, schools were opened all throughout last year contrary to most of North America so everyone is trying to live as normal a life as possible and are complying with public health rules. That means the plans is for things to be as open as possible in the future with capacity controls. Masks are required indoors unless seated in a restaurant/bar. Proof of vaccination is required as well for some activities such as restaurants and bars.
Things can change in a hurry and case numbers are going up (universities are back to on-campus learning which is a big vector) but ICU numbers are steady composed 80%+ of unvaxxed people.
