After finding themselves with too much time on their hands after BC’s COVID-19 lockdowns moved classes online, a group of students set to developing https://grocercheck.ca, a web app designed to help people social distance effectively. Grocercheck.ca uses automated live busyness data to show which grocery stores throughout the city have the highest customer density so shoppers can stay safe by avoiding large crowds. Recently, the website expanded to support stores across the Montreal area.

“We saw all the extra time we now had from our extracurriculars being cancelled as an opportunity to do something really special and help people over,” says Brian Chen, one of the website’s developers. The entirely student-operated team and registered non-profit organization now consists of eight students between the ages of sixteen and eighteen from schools across Vancouver, BC, and includes incoming business students, engineers, and graphic designers.
GrocerCheck is a student-run registered NPO dedicated to giving people the resources and knowledge they need to stay safe during the COVID-19 global pandemic.
