Our research addresses four key themes:
- Canada’s diverse peoples and communities
- Governing Canada
- Indigenous peoples and reconciliation
- Social and economic change
In each of these areas, our research seeks to represent and reflect the diversity of Canadian society. Whenever possible, we track public opinion and social change over time to identify important trends.
