Released today, the special edition issue of Insights on Canadian Society expands Statistics Canada's flagship social publication to offer policy-relevant articles united across a common theme, which leverage visuals and accessible multimedia formats to allow readers to interactively examine their different facets. Diverse products in addition to analytical articles are featured in this special issue.
This issue focuses on social geography—how social phenomena are distributed across Canada and how our distinct environments, in turn, shape us. It's more than just putting numbers on a map. "Place" is a fundamental building block of social statistics, and social geography cuts across almost every topic, from climate and health to accessibility, identity and well-being.
This first issue of the special edition covers some fascinating topics, such as experiences of living in remote areas, how well-being varies across regions of Canada, and how different neighbourhoods in Canada experience floods.
