The Angus Reid Institute commissions, researches and disseminates original impartial statistical public opinion polling and policy analysis. It makes this information available through its website and via publications, news media, consultants, social media channels and through its partners.[26]

In fall 2016 the Angus Reid Institute and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation partnered for a nationwide polling project.[27] Stories from the study included Canadian views of multiculturalism in 2016,[28] Quebec's diminished desire for separatism[29] and the lower levels of pride among Canadian millennials.[30]
