Time use in Canada: Interactive visualization tool, 2022 to 2023
Released: 2025-01-28
Today, Statistics Canada has launched an interactive data visualization tool, "Time use in Canada: Interactive visualization tool."
Using data from the 2022 Time Use Survey, this interactive tool allows users to explore how Canadians use their time over the course of a 24-hour period in various activities—such as sleep, paid work, unpaid housework and care, and leisure, among others. Differences in how time unfolds across the day can be shown by gender, age group, and type of day (weekday or weekend).

Note to readers
The Time Use Survey is a cross-sectional survey with a target population of non-institutionalized persons aged 15 and older living in the 10 provinces. The survey was collected from July 2022 to July 2023. A diary over a 24-hour period is used to collect data from respondents about their activities, how much time they spent on each activity, and where they were carried out, whether certain activities were carried out simultaneously, and whether other people were present during each reported activity. To ensure that data are collected equally between different days of the week, a specific day, called "reference day" is assigned to respondents.
