One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

Maya Angelou, poet

How are Canadians REALLY doing?

Canadian Institute of Wellbing | Canadian Index of WellbeingThe Canadian Institute of Wellbeing has released its first report on how Canada is doing beyond traditional economic measures, instead examining how we are doing on a broader set of societal measures of wellbeing.

As the first of several reports centred on the emerging Canadian Index of Wellbeing (CIW), the report released on June 10th provides details on three of the CIW's eight domains of wellbeing: Living Standards, Healthy Populations, and Community Vitality.

The additional five domains of wellbeing — Arts, Culture & Recreation; Civic Engagement; Education; Environment; and Time Use — will be the focus of future reports as they are developed further throughout the next year.
