Growth didn’t slow down as the leaves changed.
Figures released Thursday by Statistics Canada show real gross domestic product increased by 0.8% in October.
Gains for the month were seen across most sectors, including manufacturing whose rebound of 1.8%in October more than offset a September contraction.
Statistics Canada says total economic activity in October was 0.4% below pre-pandemic levels recorded in February 2020.
The economy appears to have inched closer to closing that gap as Statistics Canada says preliminary data for November suggests a rise in GDP of 0.3% for the month.
Another gain in November would mark six straight months of economic expansion.
Statistics Canada will finalize November’s figures in early February.
