Consultative engagement objectives
To support Canada's Anti-Racism Strategy and the Disaggregated Data Action Plan, Statistics Canada's Diversity and Sociocultural Statistics (DSS) Division is creating a series of portrait reports on the following 6 racialized population groups: Black, South Asian, Filipino, Chinese, Latin American, and Arab. These reports are intended to be comprehensive, but high-level.
Informal consultations for the Black and South Asian populations were completed in late Summer/Fall 2023. To inform the remaining 4 portraits, Statistics Canada will hold a series of information sessions with key federal partners and agencies, academics, and stakeholders in the Filipino, Chinese, Latin American, and Arab communities.
The purpose of these engagements is to gather information about the content being considered for inclusion in the portraits. Specifically, the DSS team seeks to identify if they are missing key angles in the data story being presented, as well as learn about any sensitivities they should be aware of, e.g., terminology. The team is also interested in the current and future data priorities for the communities. Where possible, this information will be included in the current portraits, and it will also help to inform future research strategies on these populations at Statistics Canada.
The feedback and insights we receive are important in ensuring the relevance of the statistics and analytical products we produce about Canada's diverse population groups.
