Every year, Statistics Canada is proud to join our partners and all Canadians in celebrating Black History Month, which honours and celebrates the rich history, achievements and contributions of Black Canadians who have helped to shape this country we all know and love.

In honour of this important month, Statistics Canada will soon host its latest A Data Story event, called: Statistics Canada: Data-driven Insights on Black communities in Canada. This two-hour virtual event is an exciting opportunity for our experts to connect and collaborate with you—our data users and stakeholders—to better understand your evolving data needs.

 The event will highlight StatCan’s valuable data and insights on Black communities in Canada. It will feature remarks by the Chief Statistician of Canada, Anil Arora, and a keynote address by Assistant Chief Statisticians Lynn-Barr-Telford and Greg Peterson, who are responsible for several areas of social and economic statistics, respectively.

The event is open to all Government of Canada employees and the general public. Help us share these valuable insights by forwarding this invitation to your network!
