Apprenticeship training and trade qualifications in Canada are governed by the provincial and territorial jurisdictions. These jurisdictions determine the trades, for which, apprenticeship training is made available as well as the trades, for which, certificates are granted. These are referred to as designated trades. The jurisdictions also determine which of the designated trades require certification in order to work unsupervised in the trade. The list of designated trades varies considerably between the jurisdictions. Data from the Registered Apprenticeship Information System (RAIS) include those trades that are designated in at least one province or territory.
Registered apprentices are people who are in a supervised work training program in a designated trade within their provincial or territorial jurisdiction. The apprentice must be registered with the appropriate governing body (usually a Ministry of Education or Labour or a trade specific industry's governing body) in order to complete the training.
Trade Qualifiers or Trade Challengers are people who have worked in a specific trade for an extended period of time, without necessarily having ever been an apprentice, and who have received certification from a jurisdiction, usually done via a skills assessment examination in the trade.
The total registrations in apprenticeship programs is the count of any registrations that occurred during the reporting period (from January to December of the calendar year) within one of the 13 jurisdictions (province or territories).
Total registrations = Already registered + New registrations + Reinstatements
The Red Seal Program sets common standards assessing the skills of tradespersons across Canada in specific trades, referred to as the "Red Seal" trades. Tradespersons who meet the Red Seal standards, through examination, receive a Red Seal endorsement on their provincial/territorial trade certificates. The Red Seal endorsement provides recognition that your certificate meets an interprovincial standard that is recognized in each province and territory.
Non-Red Seal trades do not have interprovincial standards. Many of these trades do not have an examination requirement in order to work in the trade.
The requirements for granting a certificate varies by jurisdiction in Canada. In most instances, an apprentice is issued a certificate if he or she completes requirements such as supervised on-the-job training, technical training, as well as passing one or more examinations. Most trade qualifiers (Challengers), meanwhile, become certified once they pass an examination.
There are jurisdictional differences in the names of certificates awarded.
They may include:
1. Revisions have been made to the Quebec 1991 to 2005 data, which also changed the previous Canada totals.
2. Prior to 1999, Nunavut was part of the Northwest Territories.
3. Starting in 2003, a change occurred in the reporting of Newfoundland and Labrador's information concerning newly registered apprentices and cancellations/suspensions.
4. The British Columbia data have been revised in 2005. This changed the previous Canada totals for 2005.
5. Starting with the 2005 reporting year, Prince Edward Island changed their information system and this may have affected historical comparisons. At the end of 2006, Prince Edward Island made some adjustments and revisions to their database which accounted for the change in the carry-over of registered apprentices for the beginning of 2007. In 2007, an increase in new registrations is, to some extent, related to a demand for skilled workers outside of the province. In 2008, due to technical difficulties during the redesign of their Registered Apprenticeship Information System, Prince Edward Island was not able to report a number of apprentices.
6. In 2006, minor trade code revisions were made to Manitoba.
7. In 2006 and 2007, differences may occur in Ontario related to the carry-over totals of active apprentices between both years. This is a result of the conversion of client data into Ontario's new database system. As a result, a clean-up of inactive clients occurred and this adjusted the active total of registered apprentices and their carry-over into 2007.
8. As of 2008, the portion of total Quebec trade information coming from Emploi-Quebec (EQ) is no longer being provided in aggregated form. The data from the province includes all trades with the exception of the automotive sector.
9. In 2008, Alberta incorrectly included the Industrial warehousing trade with the Partsperson and Partsperson (material) trades and also excluded the Construction Craft Worker trade.
10. In 2008, a distinct feature of the Rig Technician trade is that although individuals may be registered as apprentices in the trade in Ontario, their certificates are granted as trade qualifiers (challengers).
11. In 2008, Alberta reported a large number of discontinued apprentices, which was a result of them implementing a series of cancellations and suspensions of inactive apprentices.
12. In 2008 and 2009, new Quebec legislation affecting the Emploi-Quebec (EQ) sector trade was introduced. This resulted in some changes in the reporting of registered apprenticeship registrations.
13. An adjustment has been made to the Joiner trade in British Columbia, to include the trade in the Interior finishing major trade group, rather than in the previous Carpenter's major trade group.
14. In 2010, the Emploi-Quebec (EQ) data included revised trade programs where some of the trades have been segmented into several levels. This segmentation created possible multiple registrations and completions by a single individual apprentice, where previously only one registration and completion existed for this individual.
15. In 2011, the Electronics technician (Consumer Products) trade was no longer designated as a Red Seal trade.
16. In 2012, the Gasfitter - Class A and Gasfitter - Class B trades were designated as Red Seal trades.
17. In 2013, changes in provincial regulations governing drinking water related trades reported by Emploi-Quebec (EQ), have resulted in program changes, as well as the transferring of responsibility of some of these trades to the Conseil de la Construction du Québec (CCQ).
18. Begining in 2013, Ontario's data is received from two organizations. The registration data continues to be reported by the Ministry of Advanced Education Skills Development (MASED). They are also responsible for issuing Certificates of Apprenticeships upon the completion of technical training and on-the-job hours. The Ontario College of Trades (OCOT) is responsible for reporting data on Certificates of Qualifications, which are issued to apprentices upon the completion of a certification exam. This administrative practice has affected the RAIS data in a number of different ways.
19. In 2013, a regulatory change came into effect which affects both Ornamental ironworkers and Structural steel erectors under the jurisdiction of the Conseil de la Construction du Québec (CCQ). Workers in these two trades are now considered Ironworkers. Both the 2014 and 2015 reference years were also impacted by these regulatory changes.
20. In 2013, changes were made to the Automotive Service Technician trades in British Columbia. Apprentices no longer have to complete mandatory work-based training hours at each program level before progressing to the next level of technical training. The 2014 reference year was also impacted by these changes.
21. Certificates in the Steamfitter/Pipefitter trade under the Conseil de la Construction du Québec (CCQ), also include Plumbers.
22. Starting in 2013, Building/Construction Metalworker are coded to Metal Workers (other) instead of being included in the 'Other' category.
23. In 2014, the Heavy Equipment Operator (Dozer), Heavy Equipment Operator (Excavator) and Heavy Equipment Operator (Tractor-Loader-Backhoe) trades were designated as Red Seal trades.
24. Trade qualifiers (Challengers) in trades governed by Emploi-Quebec (EQ) represents certificates granted to individuals who received recognition for previously completed training. Emploi-Quebec (EQ) may, for example, recognize training in the case where an individual has a certificate in other provinces, territories, countries, or if the individual received a Diploma of Vocational Studies (DVS) in Quebec. These trade qualifiers (Challengers) also represent certificates granted as part of the regular re-certification process required in certain trades.
25. In March of 2014, there were changes made to the eligibility for the Apprenticeship Training Tax Credit (ATTC) in Ontario. This may have affected registration counts in some trades including those for information technology.
26. Prior to 2014, three welder programs (level A, level B, and level C) were offered in British Columbia. Starting in 2014, these three programs began to be phased out and replaced by a single apprenticeship program for welders. This change will impact registrations and certifications in this trade for the years following 2014.
27. Starting in 2017, changes were made to the Automotive Service Technician program in British Columbia. The program was restructured to align with other Canadian jurisdictions Automotive Service Technician Red Seal programs. These changes impacted reinstatement totals for 2017 and registrations counts for the years following 2017.
28. In July 2018, Manitoba announced that it will perform a data clean-up every two years, starting with the 2019 reporting year. This clean-up resulted in lower numbers for both registrations and certifications for the 2019 reporting year.
29. In 2013, the structural steel erector trade and locksmith trade merged to become the ironworker trade. Transitional measures were put in place for journeypersons in these trades, which ended in July 2018.
30. British Columbia has some broad categories of trades where it is possible to receive a certificate after each level is completed, while other jurisdictions only certify apprentices after completing the final level.
31. In June 2021, the Rig Technician trade was de-designated as a Red Seal trade due to low industry demand. Red Seal endorsements will no longer be issued.
32. In 2020, as a result of the pandemic some provinces cancelled or postponed in-class training, exams and apprenticeships throughout 2020. Counts for various indicators might be considered historical lows due to the pandemic in 2020. This created a larger deviation in the data for RAIS 2020 registrations, certifications and discontinuations.

This module provides a concise summary of selected Canadian economic events, as well as international and financial market developments by calendar month. It is intended to provide contextual information only to support users of the economic data published by Statistics Canada. In identifying major events or developments, Statistics Canada is not suggesting that these have a material impact on the published economic data in a particular reference month.
All information presented here is obtained from publicly available news and information sources, and does not reflect any protected information provided to Statistics Canada by survey respondents.
The purpose of this survey is to produce statistics on the stocks of frozen and chilled meat held in warehouses registered with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
These data will be aggregated with data from other sources to produce estimates of national and provincial stocks. These estimates are used by government and the private sector to make policy and investment decisions.
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.
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 reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.
Data-sharing agreements
To reduce respondent 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 statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province.
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:

1. Verify or provide the business or organization's legal and operating name and correct where needed.
Note: Legal name modifications should only be done to correct a spelling error or typo.
Note: Press the help button (?) for additional information.
Legal Name
The legal name is one recognized by law, thus it is the name liable for pursuit or for debts incurred by the business or organization. In the case of a corporation, it is the legal name as fixed by its charter or the statute by which the corporation was created.
Modifications to the legal name should only be done to correct a spelling error or typo.
To indicate a legal name of another legal entity you should instead indicate it in question 3 by selecting 'Not currently operational' and then choosing the applicable reason and providing the legal name of this other entity along with any other requested information.
Operating Name
The operating name is a name the business or organization is commonly known as if different from its legal name. The operating name is synonymous with trade name.
2. Verify or provide the contact information of the designated business or organization contact person for this questionnaire and correct where needed.
Note: The designated contact person is the person who should receive this questionnaire. The designated contact person may not always be the one who actually completes the questionnaire.
3. Verify or provide the current operational status of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.
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 North American Industry Classification System (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 classifications; 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.

1. Verify or provide the business or organization's legal and operating name and correct where needed.
Note: Legal name modifications should only be done to correct a spelling error or typo.
Legal Name
The legal name is one recognized by law, thus it is the name liable for pursuit or for debts incurred by the business or organization. In the case of a corporation, it is the legal name as fixed by its charter or the statute by which the corporation was created.
Modifications to the legal name should only be done to correct a spelling error or typo.
To indicate a legal name of another legal entity you should instead indicate it in question 3 by selecting 'Not currently operational' and then choosing the applicable reason and providing the legal name of this other entity along with any other requested information.
Operating Name
The operating name is a name the business or organization is commonly known as if different from its legal name. The operating name is synonymous with trade name.
2. Verify or provide the contact information of the designated business or organization contact person for this questionnaire and correct where needed.
Note: The designated contact person is the person who should receive this questionnaire. The designated contact person may not always be the one who actually completes the questionnaire.
3. Verify or provide the current operational status of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.
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 North American Industry Classification System (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 classifications; 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
Provide a brief but precise description of this business or organization's main activity
e.g., breakfast cereal manufacturing, shoe store, software development

Select all that apply.
For this survey, we are only interested in flowers, plants, vegetables, fruits, tree seedlings and bedding plants grown in, and sold from, the greenhouse. Production of vegetables and fruits covered by cold frames or covering tunnels should not be included in the greenhouse section of the survey.
Potted herbs
Plants that will be maintained in a pot by the consumer after purchase should be reported inside the 'potted plants' section. Herb plants sold in a package ready to be consumed should be reported inside the vegetable section.
Cut flowers
Include only cut flowers produced in, and sold from, a greenhouse.
Exclude field-grown cut flowers and dried cut flowers.
Fruit and Vegetables
Include products grown to completion in a greenhouse and sold from the greenhouse.
Exclude greenhouse vegetables and/or fruit that are transplanted for field crops. Bedding plants (transplants) grown in a greenhouse that will be planted in your own fields so that they can be sold as fully grown harvested vegetables at a later date should be excluded; they are reported in Statistics Canada's annual Fruit and Vegetable Survey.
Potted Plants - indoor and outdoor
Any plants grown and sold in a pot from the greenhouse.
Exclude Christmas trees sold in pots. Pots take many forms and sizes, such as baskets (wicker), peat pots, moss pots and plastic pots or ceramic pots.
Cuttings and tree seedlings
Plants (or sections of a plant) capable of developing into a greater number of plants or spreading out and affecting a greater area. Examples include Chrysanthemums, Poinsettias, Begonias, Petunias and shrubs.

7. What area of your greenhouse was used to produce the following fruits and vegetables in 2024?
For any multiple plantings of the same fruit or vegetable, count the area only once.
Greenhouse vegetables and fruits are edible and ready to eat at the time of sale. They were grown into sellable products in a greenhouse, not in a field; and sold from the greenhouse by the producer. Field vegetable and fruit farmers should report their production in the Fruit and Vegetable Survey.
Exclude tobacco, ginseng, asparagus, mushrooms, ornamental and vegetable bedding plants (young plants that are bought and transplanted into a garden, field, container or basket by the purchaser; also known as transplants).
A number of greenhouses are expanding to the United States. For this survey, report Canadian production only.
If you produced a multiple crop of the same greenhouse vegetable or fruit in the same greenhouse space, report the area only once. For example, if 1,000 square feet were used for the first tomato crop planting and then the same space was later used for the second tomato crop planting, you would report 1,000 square feet (not 2,000 square feet).
If you produced two or more different types of vegetables or fruit in the same greenhouse space, you would count that area for each type of crop produced.
For example, if you used 2,000 square feet to grow tomatoes for your first crop planting, and then switched to growing cucumbers in that same space half-way through the summer, you would report a total area of 4,000 square feet (2,000 square feet for growing tomatoes, plus 2,000 square feet for growing cucumbers).

Wholesaler
The organization primarily engaged as the intermediary in the distribution of merchandise. Meaning that a wholesaler is a reseller of manufactured goods in whole (without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise).
A wholesaler provides the warehousing and trade abilities the manufacturer does not want to provide. It also prefers to sell batches, truckloads, pallets, etc. of goods. Often offers discounts as quantity increases. As a result, many wholesalers are therefore organized to sell merchandise in large quantities to retailers, and business and institutional clients.
In addition, wholesalers may frequently perform one of the following related functions; breaking bulk, providing delivery services to customers, or operating warehouse facilities for storage of goods they sell, or marketing and support services such as packaging and labelling, inventory management, shipping, handling of warranty claims, in-store or co-op promotions and training.

The Accessible Canada Act (ACA) aims to create a barrier-free Canada by 2040 by identifying barriers and preventing the creation of new ones. Statistics Canada published its first accessibility action plan, Statistics Canada: Road to Accessibility, 2023-2025, in December 2022. Even before the publication of the plan, our agency has been committed to accessibility and has made great progress in becoming more accessible.
Accessibility is everyone's responsibility. Over the course of the past year, this has become evident as teams and individuals across the agency have contributed to the progress. The 2023-2024 Progress Report on the Accessibility Action Plan for Statistics Canada is an important milestone. This report highlights 121 accomplishments from September 2023 to September 2024 as part of our journey to becoming an accessibility confident organization.
Please note all information on Performance Indicators can be found in Annex A.
An accessible culture within StatCan is accessibility-confident and disability-inclusive. Focus and commitment are put on educating all employees and managers to empower and inform them on accessibility. Accessibility standards and best practices are emphasized, and employees feel confident and safe in speaking out on barriers to accessibility and potential solutions.
Workplace accommodation at StatCan means that accommodation is made on a confidential, case-by-case basis and employees are supplied with the functional tools and working conditions they need to maximize their potential.
Accessible employment at StatCan means that employees with disabilities and those experiencing barriers are supported throughout their employee journey. From recruitment and hiring to onboarding and career progression, all employees are supported to reach their full potential.
Identified and started removing accessibility barriers in hiring practices including:
An accessible built environment at StatCan is one where workspaces and the work environment are accessible for all. From the spaces in employees' homes to those owned or leased by StatCan, all environments used by employees will be accessible by design.
Accessible information and communication technologies at StatCan (often called ICT) means that Information Technologies (IT) products are usable and accessible for everyone. Whether it is software development, infrastructure support, platform operations, service request fulfillment, IT asset management, cloud environments or offsite support, these all need to be accessible.
Accessible communication at StatCan means information that is provided, sent, or received is clear, direct, and easy to understand and meets the needs of employees and Canadians.
The accessible procurement of goods, services, and facilities at StatCan means to centralize purchases, including computer software and hardware and a variety of external professional services, while prioritizing accessibility.
The accessible design and delivery of programs and services at StatCan means that surveys, programs, and services are inclusive and accessible by design to meet the needs of Canadians and employees.
StatCan released the following analysis of results from the Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD) this year to support Canadians in increasing their knowledge in accessibility:
Other releases on disability and accessibility included:
Additionally, the following releases included with Sign Language videos:
No transportation barriers in StatCan policies, practices, programs, and services, were identified at the time of publication for the 2023-2025 Accessibility Action Plan, Statistics Canada: Road to Accessibility, 2023-2025. StatCan regularly monitors this area through our feedback mechanism, to ensure prevention and removal of barriers.
In 2023-2024, upon receipt of the recommendations from the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) audit exercise, StatCan began to develop a Transportation Pillar. Part of this work has involved developing an interdepartmental Working Group to understand what transportation considerations can be reported on in the future. The Accessibility Secretariat will add a section in the 2026-2029 Accessibility action plan to address emerging barriers.
This section covers consultations conducted from September 2023 to September 2024. For more information about consultations conducted to inform the development of the 2023-2025 Accessibility Action Plan, please read the Consultation section in Statistics Canada: Road to Accessibility, 2023-2025.
The consultation of employees continues to be a critical element in the implementation of Statistics Canada: Road to Accessibility. Consultations were led by various areas to advance in the actions accomplished above.
The Persons with Disability Committee (PwDC) is an active employee committee and a key partner in the implementation of the StatCan action plan. This committee's creation predates 1989. It has a long history of identifying priorities, providing constructive advice, and suggesting action-oriented solutions to StatCan management.
The Accessibility Secretariat was a regular participant in committee meetings, providing general updates and participating in Questions and Answer periods on subjects such as:
The Facilities and Future of Work Project continued to regularly present and receive feedback on construction updates, construction sites, and building closures. The team also informed the committee about new return to work policies and heard the concerns of persons with disabilities.
This year there was an increase of groups and individuals (including the accessibility champions) offering updates related to accessibility at the PwDC which included:
The 2023 Employee Wellness Survey (EWS) was collected from November 6, 2023, to January 12, 2024. All StatCan employees were invited to participate. The response rate was 50.8%.
Our EWS results revealed that autonomy is the most important driver of the four psychological health profiles at StatCan. Person-job fit, role clarity, and work–life interference also emerged as major influences on psychological health.
In evaluating the results there was a significant difference between persons without and persons with a disability on the psychological health profiles. Compared to persons without a disability, persons with a disability had a slightly lower proportion of "Thriving"Footnote 1 and a markedly higher proportion of "Struggling"Footnote 2.
The Accessibility Secretariat further analyzed the data by disaggregating it into 3 groups: "persons without a disability", "persons with a physical disability" (those that select at least one type a disability in the list) and "other disabilities" (like mental health and neurodiversity). This review allowed us to conclude that employees who self-identify as having "other disabilities" struggle more, in comparison to employees who self-identify with another disability category. In addition, the struggle is significantly higher than for persons without a disability.
The Accessibility Secretariat consulted with bargaining agents representing StatCan employees to gather information about the accessibility barriers that employees have/are experiencing and have communicated with their bargaining agents about this past year.
In the Fall of 2023, the Accessibility Secretariat held several English and French information sessions open to all employees and included a consultative component. To ensure continued engagement and increase the accessibility confidence of the agency, these sessions covered the framework of Consultation section in Statistics Canada: Road to Accessibility, 2023-2025 (StatCan Accessibility Plan), accomplishments to date, how-to submit feedback and tools that can used to make everyday work more accessible. Participants were provided with an opportunity to ask questions and share their comments.
At StatCan, a feedback page is made available for individuals internal and external to StatCan. It was developed and published alongside the action plan per the Accessible Canada Act (ACA) requirements. This page includes all relevant information to submit feedback, including the ACA definition for "barriers." Throughout the year, the feedback process was promoted in presentations and communications across StatCan. Additionally, pillar leads were provided with their roles, responsibilities and clear expectations related to the feedback process.
In this section, a summary of the feedback received between September 2023 to September 2024 is provided. The following is an overview of the feedback in numbers:
Most of the feedback received were about the barriers faced by employees when accessing their workplace during construction. The Ottawa offices at Tunney's Pasture have been under renovation for the past year and insufficient or inappropriate access signalling were prepared to meet the needs of employees. As a result, the built environment team conducted an audit of the facilities to assess accessibility barriers. During this audit, they were accompanied by an Accessibility Secretariat representative and the Persons with Disabilities Champion. A list of barriers was identified, a plan was presented and put in place to address them. These barriers included:
The Accessibility Secretariat has received a high volume of informal feedback on accessibility concerns regarding Archibus, the digital office reservation tool. The ongoing renovations and ever-changing office environment made the office reservation tool difficult to use.
The "hotel" style booking of offices has made it more difficult for some employees to select offices that fulfill their accessibility needs. The Duty to Accommodate (DTA) team has seen an increase of requests for accommodations in the office. They have been working with the built environment team to minimize the impact of the numerous moves during the renovation.
Following the release of our first annual progress report, the Accessibility Secretariat received multiple requests for alternative formats. As the alternative format document was proactively prepared, the team quickly fulfilled those requests.
The communications team, with the help of the Accessibility Secretariat, have made great progress in raising awareness on how to make documents accessible. Which has translated into the increased identification of inaccessible documents and strengthening our commitment toward inclusion.
The Accessibility Secretariat has also received recurring feedback on the usage of PDF documents which are not accessible. The communications team is working with all relevant document owners to transform PDFs into accessible word documents. These documents can come from many different parties, so work has started to promote the accessible alternatives that StatCan has to offer.
Lastly, StatCan developed and ran an awareness initiative throughout the year to ensure that all PowerPoint presentations use an accessible format and the PowerPoint Live function.
Over the 2023 to 2024 reporting period, the Accessibility Secretariat received 15 official feedback. It is expected the feedback will increase over time. The team will continue to promote the feedback process to de-stigmatize accessibility and to ensure all employees, clients, and stakeholders are aware that their input is valued.
Concerted efforts were made to update the internal feedback processes to meet the requirements with efficiency. The focus was on refining the recording and follow-up processes for feedback to ensure timely responses. As the accessibility initiative matures, this process will continue to be refined.
The Accessibility Secretariat will continue to collaborate with partners across StatCan to make sure that the feedback process is used to identify, eliminate, and prevent accessibility barriers. The team will use the lessons learned to improve accessibility for all employees.
The second year of the implementation of the StatCan Accessibility Action Plan continued to offer opportunities to learn and grow. As the agency moves into the next year and the preparation of the new Accessibility plan begins, StatCan will continue to progress on its Statistics Canada: Road to Accessibility, 2023 Progress Report commitments to remove and prevent barriers. The agency now has one more year of experience, insight and lessons learned. While there is pride in the accomplishments listed earlier in this report, the agency has acquired valuable lessons in the areas of funding, governance, measurement, and reporting. The team will use the lessons learned in the consultation on and creation of the 2026-2029 Accessibility Action Plan.
For a relatively new program like accessibility, extra efforts were required to ensure stakeholders, and the investment board understood the importance of this work. These efforts set the groundwork, led to StatCan prioritizing accessibility and allocating investment funding to this agency wide file.
In the 2023-2024 Year, StatCan's Accessibility Program funded several accessibility initiatives, including:
StatCan continued to leverage the Accessibility Leadership Taskforce (ALT), the governing body responsible for overseeing the implementation and operational accessibility requirements. Its members include:
Collaboration and commitment from across StatCan have been key drivers to attaining accessibility goals.
StatCan was one of the first organizations to publish measurement indicators for accessibility. As the accessibility landscape continues to evolve across the public service and accessibility progress continues to be implemented, the Accessibility Secretariat adopts a continuous improvement approach to the accessibility action plan and indicators to ensure their feasibility and effectiveness. This year concerted efforts have been made to update the measurement framework. It is an excellent start and continues to evolve. Baseline data has been established and data has started to be tracked. This measurement framework enables the agency to concretely measure the accessibility progress and remain accountable.
As the agency moves towards full accessibility, there are challenges when it comes to the ownership of inaccessible products, documents, and policies. Some inaccessible items are spread across the entirety of the public service and remain difficult to transform into accessible items.
StatCan is working with the appropriate Government of Canada document owners to modify them and stop the use of inaccessible PDFs.
Until accessible documents can be provided to all, StatCan is making sure that accessible workarounds and employee support is offered for the remaining required inaccessible items.
In addition to the annual progress report, to ensure accessibility accountability, monthly financial updates and quarterly accomplishment reports are produces. The monthly updates communicate progress, challenges, and accomplishments to the investment board and senior management. The quarterly reports provide updates to the Assistant Chief Statistician responsible for accessibility and the Accessibility Leadership Taskforce. These updates also enhance collaboration between priority areas.
Lastly, this annual progress report compiles the quarterly accomplishment reports complimented by additional actions carried out organically across StatCan throughout the reporting period. This document truly highlights how StatCan answers the call to identify, remove, and eliminate accessibility barriers. These structures help StatCan honour its commitment towards inclusivity and accessibility by design and by default.
StatCan has updated the list of indicators that it is using to measure progress. This includes using internal data, data from the Canada School of the Public Service (CSPS), and the results from the Public Service Employee Survey (PSES). Part of the evaluation includes using human resources data counting those that do and do not self-ID as a person with disability to monitor differences between the two groups.
While StatCan is trying its best to capture data from past years, some indicator results listed below will serve as a baseline for future years. It is important to note that some indicators (or parts of existing indicators) are still in the process of being developed and will not be reported until data can be produced.
Data is currently unavailable for the following indicators:
