Local Environments Lift Life Satisfaction

People in Canada tend to report having high levels of satisfaction with their local environment. This infographic showcases selected data from the Wave 2 of the Canadian Social Survey (August to September 2021). Visuals highlight data for the population aged 15 and older in Canada's 10 provinces who reported a high level of satisfaction with their local environment, by age, gender, geographic region, and the outdoor activities in which they chose to participate over the past year. A high level of satisfaction with local environment is defined as a response of 8, 9 or 10 to the question "On a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 means you feel 'Not at all satisfied' and 10 means you are 'Completely satisfied,' how satisfied are you with the quality of your local environment such as access to green space, and air or water quality?" Satisfaction with local environment is an indicator in the Quality of Life Framework for Canada.
