One of our most famous alumni was Sylvia Ostry (Girton College). She earned a PhD in economics from the University of Cambridge and was appointed Canada's first and only female chief statistician in 1972.

Statistics Canada celebrates the 50th anniversary of Sylvia Ostry's appointment as chief statistician with a podcast about her life.
