How may local governments work with happiness and what can be done to improve the quality of life for citizens?At this session we will take a closer look at the Danish town of Drag\u00f8r, where the Happiness Research Institute has conducted a large happiness survey among the citizens and together with the local government developed initiatives to increase happiness, well-being and quality of life for the people<\/p>\n

Life Satisfaction within and across Canadian communities<\/strong>
\nGrant Schellenberg, CIFAR Associate Fellow and Acting Director of the Social Analysis Division at Statistics Canada<\/em><\/p>\n

New Statistics Canada data compares life satisfaction levels across Canadian communities. How do Canadians feel about their life as a whole? Schellenberg will show how this varies from St. John\u2019s to Victoria \u2026 Where will we find the happiest Canadians?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How can happiness research be used to support happier communities?<\/strong>
\nJohn Helliwell, CIFAR Senior Fellow and Professor Emeritus, University of British Columbia<\/em><\/p>\n

There are many tools at our finger tips that can make life better on the ground, in our communities, today. Helliwell discusses how community design, neighbourhood and workplace initiatives, as well as new approaches to policy frameworks can bring about the best in human cooperation and create positive human connections and shared identities.<\/p>\n
