Welcome to the CCSD Online Archives

For over 100 years, CCSD was at the heart of Canada’s social policy landscape -- from establishing the concepts of employment insurance, disability and old age pension to using evidence to shape social and economic policy.

This website is a reflection of many of the historic and still relevant contributions from generations of advocates, researchers, community builders and collaborators at CCSD who placed the well-being of all Canadians at the centre of their work.

Since 1920

CCSD convened not-for-profits, philanthropists, governments and the private sector to improve Canada’s social well-being.
