About Us

The Environics Institute for Survey Research was established by Michael Adams in 2006 with a mandate to conduct in-depth public opinion and social research on the issues shaping Canada’s future. It is through such research that Canadians can better understand themselves and their changing society.

.

The Institute’s research covers four broad areas:

  • Canada’s diversity
  • Indigenous Peoples and reconciliation
  • Governing Canada
  • Economic and social change

In each of these areas, our research seeks to represent and reflect the diversity of Canadian society. Whenever possible, we track public opinion and social change over time to identify important trends.

The Institute is a not-for-profit corporation that typically works in collaboration with other organizations from the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. Partners provide the thought leadership, networks, and capacity to connect research insights to meaningful action and social change.
