Did you know that only 1 in 10 Canadians report being truly happy?
Canada has even slipped 10 sports on the World Happiness Report since 2010.
An overly connected and always-on Canadian population often forgets to leave room for the important bright spots that contribute to our happiness: like putting down your phone and spending time with friends and family IRL.
That’s why Blue Moon is creating the first-ever coaster for your phone, inviting Canadians to disconnect from tech and reconnect with friends by going on #MoonMode for National Day of Unplugging on March 3.
According to a recent survey conducted by Blue Moon, 55% of 19-34-year-olds find it hard to stay off their phone when in a social setting.
- 73% of Canadians ages 19-34 experience FOMO or negative emotions from things they see online at least some of the time, versus a national average of 36%.
- 55% of Canadians ages 19-34 find it challenging to stay off their phones when with friends or loved ones in a social setting at least some of the time.

- 62% of Canadians ages 19-34 use their phones instead of focusing on the action while attending live entertainment, such as sporting events or concerts, at least some of the time.
