It may be a cold and dark winter, but that doesn't mean you can't start planning for warmer days, and hotter events...
... but not Trois-Rivières, or the Zonal in Kingston, or the CYCC or Canadian Open Mississauga which have been cancelled...

The Covid lockdown has (temporariliy?) ended OTB chess events, but there has been a big boom in online chess events. In fact, there has been such an explosion that it has been possible to watch World Champion Magnus Carlsen playing almost every day in tournaments between April 18 to June 3, 2020!

As much a list of cancelled events as events that are not yet cancelled.... but there are Canadian online tournaments which meet the recommended 6-foot safety distance!

With culture moving indoors, online chess thrives at at safe 6 foot separation. Our Canadian Game(s) of the Week are from Canada's top chess streaming team, and feature our 12-year-old FM Anthony Atanasov. Don't let the eyes fool you: he is ALWAYS looking at your king.
