This 2020 summer easily could have been labeled as a write-off for most people. Lockdowns and travel bans tried to suppress us and keep us down. But the Canadian spirit is resilient, and it would take a lot more than a global pandemic to keep it down. While it’s true that “fun” took a different form this summer than it normally might, I’m uplifted by the many ways I’ve seen and heard about Canadians pivoting in the way they celebrate summer.
