From Statistics Canada:
Statistics Canada is offering a new workshop based on the 2016 Census in Toronto and Ottawa this March!
How to Use Census Data (1 Day)
Conducted every five years, the Census of Population is the most comprehensive source of data on the demographic, social and economic characteristics of Canadians.
CDP members will want to check out the latest SPAR Monitor, newsletter sent out by the Social Policy Analysis & Research unit of the Social Development, Finance and Administration division at the City of Toronto.
This issue features the Fraser Institute’s Human Freedom Index report and CCSD’s very own Strength in Numbers series.
The newsletter is attached.
Want to keep track of CDP’s latest acquisitions? Schedule B lists data products that the CCSD Community Data Program intends to acquire during the 2017-2018 program year (running from April 1 to March 31).
We have updated our Schedule B to reflect changes in the status of orders as well as to account for delays in the delivery of certain products. Schedule B can be downloaded from the Program Resources page.
Canada’s biggest cities tend to get most of the attention when we talk about data, but there are many resources for rural communities as well. The Rural Ontario Institute has put together a Fact-finder’s Guide to Local and Regional Data: How to Find National Statistics, which highlights data sources for rural communities, including the Community Data Program!
This year, 2018, is the 100th anniversary of Statistics Canada, created as the Dominion Bureau of Statistics in 1918. The agency shows no signs of slowing down in its old age, in fact, it’s just getting started- in the world of data, 100 could well be the new 30!
Statistics Canada conducted its most successful census ever in 2016, with a 98.4% participation rate. Last year, the agency launched its exciting modernization agenda, sharing many new data products of use to CDP members.
This new report from Toronto’s Mowat Centre considers data in the charitable sector. The latest publication from Mowat NFP’s Enabling Environment series analyzes how charities, funders, governments and academic institutions can create a more enabling environment for data collection, analysis and sharing for the charitable sectors in both Canada and the UK.
CDP's winter newsletter is now available in your mailbox or here on our site.
In this brief bulletin, we direct members to our annual User Survey, which we ask you to take 10 minutes to complete before Feb 26.
