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.

Notice to Subscribers:

As of January 2007, Perception will no longer be offered as a subscription; instead, it will be part of the benefits package available exclusively to our members.

For our current subscribers, we will offer a 2007 organizational membership for the special introductory price of $75 - a savings of $25. We hope you’ll consider becoming a member of the CCSD. You can find out more about membership benefits at www.ccsd.ca/membership.htm, or by calling Louise Clarke at 613-236-5868, ext. 225.
