The Association for Canadian Studies

The Association for Canadian Studies addresses the major public policy issues of the day by increasing Canadians’ knowledge of their country and providing platforms for cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary exchanges about the country’s past, present and future.

With over 20 years of experience conducting social research, the Association for Canadian Studies has a long-standing reputation for anticipating where public discourse is heading, and disseminating knowledge that advances public discourse and evidence-based decision-making. The Association for Canadian Studies also runs the Metropolis Institute.

The Metropolis Institute is an independent non-profit think tank in the field of migration, integration and inclusion with a focus on public education and policy deliberation. To this end, we convene conferences and forums in Canada and abroad, conduct research and analysis as well as regularly disseminate our findings. Supporting cross-sectoral cooperation, the Metropolis Institute serves as a trusted bridge for interaction, dialogue and learning between practitioners, policymakers, researchers and civil society through national and multinational knowledge mobilization programs. We aim to provide reliable and timely research, data and analysis to enhance understanding of migration, integration and inclusion.
