The Canadian Council on Social Development no longer publishes Perception Magazine.
We are proud of the magazine's 30 volume history and its role in social development in Canada. Our sincere thanks to all those involved in its production – authors, researchers, editorial and production staff, and more. Their work resulted in an important contribution to community engagement and knowledge sharing on issues significant to Canadians.
Perception brings you news and views on social development issues like poverty and income security, employment, health, pensions, social services and more. Perception provides sound analysis, thought-provoking information, concise research results and fresh insights. It also highlights conferences, coming events, new publications and updates on social policy changes.
