Measuring Wellbeing:
A Symposium on the Use of Wellbeing Indicators


Monday, May 28, 2012
1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Paul Martin Centre, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario

There is more to community or national wellbeing than economic growth. Panelists in this symposium will present different approaches to measuring wellbeing, principally the Canadian Index of Wellbeing<http://ciw.ca/en/> (CIW), and Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada's (AANDC's) Community Wellbeing Index<http://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/eng/1100100016579> (CWB), along with other applied examples of initiatives being used in communities. After a brief break, open discussion will be held with the audience and all panelists. Participants in this symposium will leave with a better understanding of how to measure wellbeing in community settings and how this can lead to change.
