Statistical Society of Canada

The Statistical Society of Canada (abbreviated as SSC; ) is a professional organization whose mission is to promote the use and development of statistics and probability.

Its objectives are * to make the general public aware of the value of statistical thought, the importance of this science and the contribution of statisticians to Canadian society; * to ensure that decisions that could have a major impact on Canadian society are based on relevant data, interpreted properly using statistics; * to promote the pursuit of excellence in training and statistical practice in Canada; * to encourage improvements in statistical methodology; * to maintain a sense of belonging within the profession, and to promote dialogue among theoreticians and practitioners of statistics.

Each year the SSC awards the CRM-SSC Prize, in collaboration with the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques, to an exceptional young Canadian statistician. Provided by Wikipedia
