About the Office of Statistics and Information (OSI)

The OSI consolidates official statistics and other key government data, making information about the province available to Albertans in a user-friendly format. Having ready access to high-quality data and statistics helps government, business and the general population make better informed decisions.

The OSI is a government-wide service. By building upon the collective experience and skills of individual ministries, we provide a range of statistical products to meet the needs of Albertans and the Alberta government.

The Office of Statistics and Information Act  was proclaimed on June 3, 2009, recognizing the Office of Statistics and Information (OSI) as the official provincial statistical agency for Alberta.

2012 Alberta Official Statistics available

Air quality, crop production, family structure and marketable natural gas production are just a few of the many topics covered in the 2012 Alberta Official Statistics, now available online at www.officialstats.alberta.ca.

More than 100 sets of numbers covering social, economic and environmental themes are presented together in the annual release of the government’s official statistics for the province. These statistics form a vital part of the information needed by the province, local governments and other organizations to plan for the future. 

As part of the Alberta government’s commitment to openness and transparency, Albertans can both view the statistics and download the data used to compile the 2012 Alberta Official Statistics. Students, teachers, economic organizations, policy and research analysts and others who use this information now have an easy way to access the official statistics.
