Statistics Canada Prize for Curriculum Studies

This award, presented by Statistics Canada in conjunction with the Canadian Association for Curriculum Studies (CACS), was established to:

• recognize and promote excellence in curriculum development and research
• encourage development, use, feedback on, and enhancement of Statistics Canada products

The $500 prize is awarded annually for the best curriculum project by an education student involving the application of the Statistics Canada website, E-STAT database, or other Statistics Canada products.

The prize is presented at the annual conference of the Canadian Society for Studies in Education (CSSE).
