  • Results are organized by the Eight Domains of Wellbeing Framework: Community Vitality, Living Standards, Health, Environment, Time Use, Leisure and Culture, Education, and Democratic Engagement. Results can be shown along the lines of shared characteristics as well as answers to survey questions; for example, demographics, region of the province, income, living arrangement, education, reported disability, and more.

  • We won’t have to wait years for the findings to be known because our tools have already been developed to tell the stories (and they are being enhanced).
