A	Summary (5)

a	Democratic Engagement is the state of being involved in advancing 
	democracy through political institutions, organizations and activities. 

b	A society that enjoys a high degree of democratic engagement is one 
	where: 

	1	citizens participate in political activities, express political 
		views, and foster political knowledge; 

	2	governments build relationships, trust, shared responsibility and 
		participation opportunities with citizens; 

	3	democratic values are sustained by citizens, government and civil 
		society at a local, national and global level.

c	The research presented in this report shows that a healthy democracy 
	requires more than participation in elections. 

d	A healthy democracy requires ongoing democratic engagement both during 
	and between elections. 

e	The Democratic Engagement Domain measures three aspects of democratic
	engagement:

	1	Individual engagement – the engagement of citizens in public life 
		and in government;

	2	Government engagement -- the function of the Canadian government 
		with respect to openness, transparency, effectiveness, fairness, 
		equality and accessibility in efforts to engage citizens; and,

	3	Global engagement – the role of Canadian citizens, governments 
		and civil society as good global citizens.

f	The Democratic Engagement Domain measures eight headline indicators:

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.
