B TRENDS (8) - Community Vitality Domain
a The indicators reveal that Canadians, by and large, have strong social
relationships with their families and their communities.
b On balance, the positive trend of most of these indicators is heartening,
suggesting that the wellbeing of Canadians, as measured by the quality
of their relationships, is improving over time.
The following specific trends can be seen:
c While the size of social networks appears to be declining, the rate of
membership in voluntary groups and organizations is relatively high and
the proportion of Canadians engaged in volunteering has been edging up.
d Canadians report high levels of social support, extending assistance to
family, friends and neighbours.
Compassion for others is growing.
e Levels of crime are down, an indicator of enhanced community relationships.
f A majority of Canadians believe that they can trust others, but a sizeable
minority do not.
g A relatively small number of Canadians experience discrimination, but the
number is significantly higher for visible minorities.
h Canadians report a strong sense of belonging to their local communities
across the country, but the feeling is least strong in Quebec.

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.
