Canada Social Report

Canada Social Report:
A Compendium of Social Information

Over the past few years, the loss of data in Canada especially the troubling dismantling of the long-form Census inspired the Caledon Institute to launch this effort. The Canada Social Report acts as a major hub for social information. It is a resource for the entire social sector – to give all of us a strong voice and a powerful evidence base for informed policy conversations and the formulation of intelligent policy solutions.
