During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Province of Ontario, Canada, launched a wastewater surveillance program to monitor SARS-CoV-2, inspired by the early work and successful forecasts of COVID-19 waves in the city of Ottawa, Ontario. This manuscript presents a dataset from January 1, 2021, to...
"While COVID-19 is still circulating across the country, current disease activity indicators, from daily reported cases to laboratory test positivity, indicated decreasing transmission in many areas," Tam said in a press conference, adding that wastewater data are showing signs of a potential plateau...
Wastewater surveillance provides crucial COVID data, but also privacy concerns Throughout the pandemic, wastewater surveillance and analysis was a key tool in monitoring and measuring the amount of virus in communities. But some experts caution that the data collected could also lead to privacy concer...

In contrast, remote communities in the Northwest Territories of Canada have implemented wastewater surveillance to monitor the communities for COVID-19 viral signal (Government of Northwest Territories, 2021), despite the low population of the geographic area (<45,000). Having clear guidelines, ...
the Canadian COVID Genomics Network—a consortium of Canadian federal, provincial and regional public health authorities, which is sequencing up to 150,000 viral genomes across Canada. But here, instead of sequencing patient samples, we are sequencing wastewater samples that collect input from entire...

Municipal waste disposal behaviors in Regina, the capital city of Saskatchewan, Canada have significantly changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. About 7.5 year of waste disposal data at the Regina landfill was collected, verified, and consolidated. Four modeling approaches were examined to predict tota...
