Statistics Canada regularly engages with Canadians to seek input on projects and initiatives, and test the usability of website, web tools, and mobile applications.
A consultative engagement activity collects feedback from Canadians on specific topics which directly support the development of Statistics Canada projects and programs. These activities are executed through discussion tables, usability testing, and online questionnaires.
Statistics Canada's engagement activities, findings and results are published on this webpage. Please visit the Government of Canada's Consulting with Canadians website for a complete list of government engagement activities.
