The Proof Strategies CanTrust Index
The annual Proof Strategies CanTrust Index, now in its eighth year, is a leading source of research and understanding of trust in Canada. We tell a uniquely Canadian story, studying and analyzing topics, institutions, events and population segments across the country.
In 2022, we also commissioned the first-ever CanTrust Study of Black Canadians to understand and share the unique experiences and perspectives that affect Black Canadians’ trust, advance our EDI commitment, and continue important discussions on anti-Black racism in Canada.
