Ottawa's Vital Signs®
The Ottawa's Vital Signs report is an annual checkup through which the Community Foundation of Ottawa measures the vitality of our city, identifies significant trends, and assigns grades in eleven areas critical to Ottawa's quality of life. Published every autumn, the report card data is a compilation of information from numerous research sources that can help the community make connections between issues and trends in different areas. The findings are presented in a reader friendly format to make them as accessible as possible. An expanded, in-depth report is also made available on our website, complete with links to original community research, at www.ottawavitalsigns.ca.
