Statistics Canada (StatCan)

Statistics Canada produces statistics that help Canadians better understand their country, its population, resources, economy, society and culture. In addition to conducting a census every five years, there are about 350 active surveys on virtually all aspects of Canadian life. In Canada, providing statistics is a federal responsibility. As Canada's central statistical office, Statistics Canada is legislated to serve this function for the whole of Canada and each of the provinces and territories. The Statistics Canada Training Institute Catalogue presents a compendium of corporate flagship courses and training courses, which mark Statistics Canada as a centre of expertise in the full range of activities required to make a statistical agency function. They develop and deliver courses and workshops that provide quality training on current statistical issues and application of basic statistical methods.
