ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Canadian Index of Wellbeing

The Canadian Index of Wellbeing (CIW) is like a report card for the country. It looks at a bunch of different things that make life better or worse, like how healthy people are, how safe cities are, how much people earn, and how happy people feel in their homes and neighbourhoods. All of these things come together to make up the way people feel about their lives in Canada. The CIW looks at how things have changed over time so that we can make sure our country stays as a great place to live.
