Growth in Statistical Information: Challenges and Benefits – Call for Contributed Papers
Statistics Canada’s 2016 International Methodology Symposium will take place at the Palais des congrès de Gatineau (5 minutes from downtown Ottawa) from March 22 to 24, 2016.

Terms such as Big Data, Data Science and Data Mining are becoming more and more common in the literature and the media. But what does it all mean for official statistics and what is the impact on how they are collected, compiled, analyzed and presented?
