This guide was produced through Statistics Canada's Education Outreach Program under the guidance of Mary Townsend and edited by Elise Mennie. They gratefully acknowledge the work of Angela McCanny, an elementary teacher from Ottawa, Ontario, who undertook the initial writing of this guide to address the needs of her peers. She devoted considerable time and expertise to this project.

Special message to teachers

With the teaching community's help, Statistics Canada has created a vast array of curriculum-supportive activities, lessons and kits for most school subjects. These resources assist teachers in integrating relevant Canadian information into their classroom activities and in improving their students' statistical literacy. Visit the Learning resources section of the Statistics Canada website.

Note of appreciation

Canada owes the success of its statistical system to a long-standing partnership between Statistics Canada, the citizens of Canada, its businesses, governments and other institutions. Accurate and timely statistical information could not be produced without their continued co-operation and goodwill.

Standards of service to the public

Statistics Canada is committed to serving its clients in a prompt, reliable and courteous manner. To this end, the Agency has developed standards of service which its employees observe in serving its clients.
