Canadian Social Survey

Overview

Summary

The Canadian Social Survey (CSS) will collect information on a variety of social topics such as health, well-being, impacts of COVID-19, activities, time-use, and emergency preparedness. The CSS will provide data at the national level (excluding the territories). This information may be used by all levels of government and various organizations, to inform the delivery of services and supports for Canadians during and after the pandemic, and to guide policy development on a range of social and economic issues. When working with multiple waves on the same topic ensure you are aware of changes made to the questionnaires between waves.
