R	THE CANADIAN INDEX OF WELLBEING NETWORK

a	Based in the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences at the University of Waterloo, 
	the Canadian Index of Wellbeing Network is an independent, non-partisan group 
	of national and international leaders, researchers, organizations, and 
	grassroots Canadians.

b	Its mission is to report on wellbeing at the national level and promote a 
	dialogue on how to improve it through evidence-based policies that are 
	responsive to the needs and values of Canadians.

c	The Network’s signature product is the Canadian Index of Wellbeing (CIW). 

d	The CIW measures Canada’s wellbeing and tracks progress in eight interconnected 
	categories.

e	It allows us, as Canadians, to see  if we are better off or worse off than we 
	used to be - and why. 

f	It helps identify what we need to change to achieve a better outcome and to 
	leave the world a better place for the generations that follow.
