2013 Our City: A Peg report on Winnipeg’s well-being

Peg is a community indicator system, providing Winnipeggers with access to a wide range of information on our city’s well-being (www.mypeg.ca). Through Peg, IISD and United Way Winnipeg provides both regular updates on individual indicators and periodic well-being reports. This is the first well-being report, highlighting 16 key community indicators covering all areas of quality of life in Winnipeg.

It provides an overview of where we’re gaining strength and where we have more work to do, by looking at 16 key indicators of well-being. These key indicators were identified through consulting with experts in the various fields, paying particular attention to those indicators that can best signal the overall status of each of the eight themes of well-being. The Peg team also chose indicators that are compelling and actionable and can thus inspire Winnipeggers who want to create positive change in our community.

With each indicator identified in this report, we have provided information on why the indicator is important, the numbers that outline how we are doing, a graph illustrating the trend, and the source of the data. Where available, we also provide a comparison to provincial or national data, as well as a link to a Peg video that puts a human face to the numbers.
