As many Canadians leaned into their hobbies as sources of entertainment, some discovered they wanted to make businesses out of these interests. However, other Canadians needed another source of income to supplement their main jobs as COVID-19 added a degree of economic instability during the pandemic. This article serves to illustrate how Canadians formed side businesses out of these hobbies, either due to economic uncertainty, or because they desired to do what they genuinely loved.
