About the webinar:
Join us for the first webinar organized by the Centre on Governance (COG) and the Performance and Planning Exchange (PPX) in 2025, which will be about Canada's Quality of Life Framework. The Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) and Statistics Canada will provide an overview of the Framework, including its key concepts and data. More specifically, TBS will speak to the importance of QOL in developing and managing programs/initiatives, as well as the potential applications of QOL in Results-Based Management (RBM) practices. Statistics Canada will present its QOL Hub and speak about how you can leverage existing QOL indicators and data to support this effort. While the presentation will focus on basic concepts and current data availability, there will be an opportunity to share your unique insights and ideas during the discussion.
