The Statistical Society of Canada (SSC) (French: Société statistique du Canada) is a professional organization whose mission it 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.
