Today, Statistics Canada launches a new blog: Connecting Stats, Stories and People. The blog will be published monthly and will feature compelling interviews with key data users and stakeholders on how, together, we tell Canada's story in numbers. To mark the 150th anniversary of Confederation, this blog will highlight the views of historians, genealogists, academics, students, and others throughout 2017.

In June 2017, the blog features an interview with Nora Spinks, Chief Executive Officer of The Vanier Institute of the Family, who leads a team that seeks to understand the diversity of families and complexity of family life in Canada. Ms. Spinks discusses the vital role of Statistics Canada data and analysis in the development of the Institute's various projects and programs that strive to help Canadians better understand the family, an institution at the very core of Canadian society.
