In light of varying and often times conflicting reports of public perception around the issue of climate change and the Kyoto Protocol, Environment Canada and Natural Resources Canada identified a need for sound information on current public opinion in order to direct policy and communications efforts. The research was designed to solicit Canadians’ views on a wide variety of issues related to climate change and the Kyoto Protocol.
Environment Canada has identified a need for sound information on current youth opinion pertaining to climate change in order to direct policy and communications efforts. In light of this need, Ipsos-Reid was commissioned to conduct opinion research among young Canadians (from 16 to 25 years of age) to establish a baseline measurement of their awareness, receptivity and behaviour on issues related to climate change.
The Weather and Environmental Services (WES) Board of Environment Canada has a mandate to provide Canadians with world class meteorological and environmental information, predictions and services to ensure safety, ecosystem sustainability and enhanced economic activity. In 1997 and 2002, the MSC conducted national public opinion surveys to assess Canadians’ needs, usage, satisfaction and expectations concerning the weather products and services it provides. In spring 2007, the WES Board commissioned EKOS Research Associates Inc. to conduct another survey, to measure the public’s satisfaction with certain of its products and services (including “weatheroffice” and Weatheradio Canada) and determine what additional meteorological products and services the public wants. The methodology for this study involved conducting a 20-minute telephone survey with some 4,100 respondents drawn from the general Canadian population. The sample included all provinces and territories and was administered in English and French.
Almost no public opinion research has been conducted to date on the general topic of contaminated sites at a national level. The purpose of this research is to measure Canadian public opinion on the issue of contaminated sites to provide a baseline from which future studies can be conducted to measure changes in opinions in response to government communications initiatives.

The Provincial Diversity Project is a survey aimed at comparing public opinions realities across provinces on identity and attachment, views about federalism, attitudes toward ethnic diversity and immigration, as well as views on social, economic and political issues.
Environment Canada's Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) is the organization with primary responsibility for weather forecasting and weather-related information for the country. MSC's mission is to "anticipate and respond to the evolving needs and expectations of Canadians and their institutions for meteorological, hydrological and related information and prediction services . . in ways that safeguard their health and safety, optimize economic activity and enhance environmental quality." This mission is fulfilled through a range of activities encompassing three broad areas that cover forecasting and prediction, monitoring, and knowledge development and dissemination. In 1997, MSC conducted a national public opinion survey to assess Canadians' needs, usage, satisfaction and expectations concerning weather products and services provided by Environment Canada. These products and services include mass media weather forecasts, weather warning broadcasts, and other weather information delivery services such as WEATHERADIO and the Internet. The current survey was designed to include many of the questions first asked on the 1997 survey, as well as new questions to address topics not previously covered. The survey was conducted by telephone with a representative sample of 4,608 Canadians (18 years and older) between March 20 and April 20, 2002. A sample of this size drawn from the population would be expected to provide results accurate to within plus or minus 1.4 percent, in 95 out of 100 samples.
The 2015 Canadian Election Study consists of 4 waves. Note that each survey wave is a different questionnaire: CPS is the Campaign Period Survey (by telephone), PES is the Post-Election Survey (by telephone), MBS is the Mailback Survey, and WEB is the final Web-based survey.
The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a monthly survey of Canadian households carried out by Statistics Canada. It was developed after the Second World War to satisfy a need for reliable and timely data on the labour market due to the massive labour market changes involved in the transition from a war to peace-time economy. The objectives of the LFS have been to divide the working-age population into three mutually exclusive labour force status categories (employed, unemployed, and not in the labour force) and to provide descriptive and explanatory data on each of these groups. With the release of the survey results only 10 days after the completion of data collection, the LFS estimates are the first of the major monthly economic data series to be released. The LFS is the source of Canada's official unemployment rates, including the rates used by Employment and Social Development Canada in the calculation of Employment Insurance (EI) eligibility and benefit criteria. Data from the survey also provide information on major labour market trends, such as shifts in employment across industrial sectors, hours worked and labour force participation.
