Canada at a Glance, 2023
A word from the Chief Statistician

I am thrilled to present the 2023 edition of Canada at a Glance, offering a snapshot of the current statistics that impact us as Canadians. In this edition, we've added exciting new elements that illustrate how data are woven into the fabric of our shared Canadian experience. This information not only operates in the background of our daily lives, but directly shapes that experience through policies and services based on good data.

In our commitment to reflecting evolving demographics and emerging societal trends, we've introduced new sections. These additions cover Indigenous languages, tourism, and transportation and energy. Furthermore, we've expanded the “Women” category to “Women and girls” and broadened the age group for 2SLGBTQ+ individuals.

Our commitment to inclusivity and reflecting the diversity of our great country remains a priority in this publication. Our agency is producing more detailed statistics and shaping the understanding of our country, and we are committed to delving deeper into the data to provide greater insights.

We greatly appreciate the ongoing collaboration with our partners, ranging from individual Canadians and private companies to the academic community, to governments at all levels, who help us continue this important work.

Thank you for your trust and cooperation, without which the insights highlighted in our outputs and this edition of Canada at a Glance would not be possible.

Chief Statistician of Canada
