A Data Story on Immigration and Climate Change – St. John's

A data story. A discussion with Statistics Canada.

Presentations

Presentation #1: A data dive into important trends and impacts of immigration on Newfoundland and Labrador

9:30 am-11:30 am NST

Just like Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador experienced some recent shifts in its demographics, notably in the number of incoming permanent and temporary immigrants, and in interprovincial migrations. On top of these shifts, Newfoundland and Labrador is also experiencing population aging, changes in ethnocultural and linguistic diversity, and increasing regional differences, notably between urban and rural areas.

The Chief Statistician of Canada will present a statistical portrait that will describe these recent shifts and trends, will put them in perspective compared to national and other provincial trends, and will also discuss some possible future trends on the basis of population projections. There will be a panel of experts who will present and engage the audience in the discussion on social and economic implications.

Presentation #2: Can data save lives in response to climate change and natural disasters?

1:00 pm-3:00 pm NST

Newfoundland is no stranger to extreme weather events and natural disasters. How can data provide actionable insights to understand the potential impact of natural disasters on the province’s people and its economy? The Chief Statistician of Canada will present a statistical portrait that will draw on recent events to demonstrate how data can inform the impact on the economy and will show how data can be used to understand the profiles of communities in order to prepare, respond and recover from natural disasters or emergency events.

In partnership with Memorial University’s Harris Centre and RAnLab, an expert panel discussion and question period will follow immediately after the presentations. You are encouraged to provide your input on these very important topics.

We sincerely hope you will join us in what will undoubtedly be thought-provoking and fruitful discussions.

2024 Annual Passenger Bus and Urban Transit Survey

Why are we conducting this survey?

This survey is conducted by Statistics Canada in order to collect the necessary information to support the Integrated Business Statistics Program (IBSP). This program combines various survey and administrative data to develop comprehensive measures of the Canadian economy.

The statistical information from the IBSP serves many purposes, including:

  • Calculating each province and territory's fair share of federal-provincial transfer payments for health, education and social programs
  • Establishing government programs to assist businesses
  • Assisting the business community in negotiating contracts and collective agreements
  • Supporting the government in making informed decisions about fiscal, monetary and foreign exchange policies
  • Indexing social benefit programs and determining tax brackets
  • Enabling academics and economists to analyze the economic performance of Canadian industries and to better understand rapidly evolving business environments.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce the response burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data sharing agreements

To reduce the response burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon.

The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data, and mailing it to the following address:

Chief Statistician of Canada
Statistics Canada
Attention of Director, Enterprise Statistics Division
150 Tunney's Pasture Driveway
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0T6

You may also contact us by email at infostats or by fax at 1-514-496-4879.

For this survey, there are Section 12 agreements with the statistical agencies of Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut as well as with the Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable du Québec, and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation.

There is also a Section 12 agreement with Transport Canada. Federally-regulated carriers under the authority of the Canada Transportation Act (CTA) and pursuant to the Transportation Information Regulations do not have the right to object to sharing their information with Transport Canada. Carriers which are not federally regulated may object to sharing their information with Transport Canada by writing to the Chief Statistician. Transport Canada will use the information obtained from federally-regulated carriers in accordance with the provisions of the CTA and Regulations.

Statistics Canada will also share your information under Section 12 of the Statistics Act with Infrastructure Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and Natural Resources Canada, unless you refuse.

For agreements with provincial and territorial government organizations, the shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

The NAICS  is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. 

Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. 
NAICS  is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS , are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS  is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classes; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.

Description and examples

  • This is the current main activity
  • This is not the current main activity

Provide a brief but precise description of this business or organization's main activity:

  • e.g. , breakfast cereal manufacturing, shoe store, software development

Canadian Health Measures Survey—Supporter Toolkit

The Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) is a national survey that gathers information to help improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and to promote the health and wellness of Canadians. The data collected will be used by researchers to further understand the relationships between disease risk factors and risk conditions such as obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and exposure to infectious diseases and to environmental contaminants.

This survey will shed light on illnesses and reveal the extent to which many diseases may be undiagnosed among Canadians and enable health professionals and researchers to face challenges in public health. Data collected in previous cycles of the CHMS supported the development of Canada’s 24-Hour Movement Guidelines and ParticipACTION’s Report Card.

The CHMS Supporter Toolkit contains tools and resources in one convenient location to help you and your organization share information about the survey. Feel free to revisit and use our promotional materials whenever needed!

For more information, visit our information for survey participants page and our CHMS Temporary Examination Centre Schedule.
