Thank you very much for that question.
The pattern across the country is very different. It is very locally focused. I will speak to the jurisdiction that I work in, which is the City of Barrie.
At the beginning of the pandemic in March, we saw a dip in our calls for service specific to intimate partner violence or family disputes. We did see it come back to what our four-year averages are. We think that was based on isolation. Once we saw some reopening in the province and the ability for people to get out, seek help and gain the resources they needed to support them through this, we saw saw a peak, and since then it seems that we have returned to normal averages.
Thank you.
