Simplified topological maps can preserve the topology of regions within an area and provide a variety of ways to display geographic variables while granting equal weight to all regions Canada's topology lends itself well to displaying information with topological maps The first COVID-19 cases in Canada were identified in January 2020;the virus spread through much of the country in March, with a peak from April to May and a lull or trough in June-August, followed by a larger peak from October to November Although Canada's most populous provinces saw the most cases per 100,000 persons, nearly every province experienced peaks from COVID-19 Atlantic Canada and the northern territories experienced the shortest and smallest peaks, with the highest being a November outbreak in Nunavut Cases in central Canada remained moderate to high for much of the year, while western Canada experienced high peaks near the end of the year
