Last Friday May 20th, 2016 CCSD's Katherine Scott (VP Research) and Michel Frojmovic (CDP Lead) presented at ECONOUS2016, the National Community Economic Development Conference. Their presentation (PPT) demonstrated the power of community data and evidence-based story-telling, focusing on the Canadian Council on Social Development’s Community Data Program (CDP).
We are excited for our upcoming annual meeting! For a day and a half starting Thursday May 26th, we will be meeting in Banff, Alberta with twenty of our consortium leads (plus more via webinar) to plan out the upcoming program year! For more information, visit the 2016 annual meeting information page.
Led by the United Way Perth-Huron (operating as the Social Research and Planning Council), the Perth-Huron Community Data Consortium is CCSD’s 31st consortium to be established within the CDP. This consortium represents two south-western Ontario counties with a combined population of 134,212 (in 2011). With the addition of Perth-Huron, the CCSD’s CDP now includes community data consortia representing 18.7 million Canadians (56% of all Canadians), and 87% of Ontario’s population.
Led by the Northern Policy Institute (NPI), the (Rest of) Northern Ontario Community Data Consortium is CCSD’s 30th consortium to be established within the CDP. NPI is Northern Ontario’s independent think tank, enhancing Northern Ontario’s capacity to take the lead position on socio-economic policy that impacts Northern Ontario, Ontario, and Canada as a whole. The organization includes staff in Sudbury, Sault Ste-Marie, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Kenora and Timmins. This consortium represents communities with a population of nearly 500,000 (487,904 in 2011).
