The Fraser Institute is an independent, non-partisan think tank focused on public policy research and education. Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, with offices in Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, and Halifax, it conducts studies to measure and communicate how government policies, entrepreneurship, and personal choice affect Canadians’ well-being. It serves policymakers, researchers, and the broader public, aiming to illuminate policy consequences and inform decision-making. The organization maintains independence by not accepting government grants or contracts for research. As a think-tank in the public policy research sector, it operates within a network of similar organizations, with ties to a global think-tank community spanning 87 countries. Recent developments include the launch of the Mathison Energy Research Initiatives, announced in June 2026, which will support energy-related research.
