QGIS Demo 8
(The Statistics Canada symbol and Canada wordmark appear on screen with the title: "Adding Fields and Editing Feature Attributes with the Field Calculator")
So in today's demo we'll use the Field Calculator to edit fields and feature attributes, including those storing geometric, numeric and text information. The Field Calculator is used to add and update fields or edit attributes of selected features. Like the Select by Expression tool, introduced in the previous demo, it uses expression syntax. Today we'll use the two tools in conjunction to select and update large selections of features.
So let's start by adding some spatial measures to our subset and created datasets.
So we can select them in the Layers Panel, and click the Field Calculator icon on the Attribute Toolbar. Since we are adding a new field, much like when we added the Fields to our AOI layer, we need to specify a field name, the field type as well as provide the parameters for the number of characters it stores. The same drop-downs from the Select by Expression tool are also found in the Field Calculator which we can use to help create our expressions. In the Geometry drop-down we can see the general expression syntax, which tends to be dollar sign followed by the measure of interest. So if we wanted to add coordinate information to a point dataset we could use $x or $y or for our polygons $perimeter and $area.
The Preview shows the output, which is calculated in Map units making the projected coordinate system with units in meters applied to these layers helpful in adding these measures.
To alter the units just apply an appropriate conversion factor, in this case divided by 10000 for area in hectares. We'll also copy the Expression and now repeating with our AOI layer- we can also opt to Update Existing Fields – selecting the field to update from the drop-down – meaning we can finally populate the area in hectares field we added when we first created the AOI layer – pasting the expression and clicking OK.
It is important to note that these measures are not automatically updated if the geometry of a layer is edited. So if we split a polygon or clipped it we would have to update these fields using the Field Calculator and once again paste in the appropriate expression. We can then Save the Edits and turn the toggle editor off.
Now let's take a look at updating large feature selections using the road_segment_1 layer. First we'll change the projection using the Reproject Layer tool. Much like the Save Vector Layer As box it can be used to transform a layer to a new projection, and can be applied as a batch process to multiple layers. So we'll change the coordinate reference system to UTM Zone 14N and use a temporary file for the output.
Then using our Interactive Selection tool, with our AOI layer highlighted, we'll select the merged Census Division feature, which we'll use to clip the reprojected road segments. So within the tool Reprojected is selected as the Input and the Overlay layer is the AOI. The Overlay layer is restricted to polygon vectors. And we'll also check Selected Features Only, so that only the road segments overlapping with the selected AOI feature are retained. This can be used to standardize the extent of analysis for multiple layers, and in this case, reduce processing times with editing the attributes of our road features. I saved the file in our Intro Demo folder, and called it CPRoads for Clipped Projected Roads.
So now we'll use the Select by Expression and Field Calculator sequentially to isolate and update the attributes for large selections of features in the Road Segments layer. So the road classes were interpreted using the CanVEC catalogue and Road Class field shown in the downloading data from the Federal Geospatial Platform demo.
We'll enter three expressions together and the remaining expressions are found in the video description. The first we'll enter is road classes greater than 309 AND less than 312 – for selecting within a value range which corresponds with our Highway features. Clicking select - 10000 features are returned.
Since this is the first selection we have to create a New Field, which we'll call Class, specifying it as a Text field type with a length of 50. As seen, when there are selected features by default the Only Update Selected Features box is checked. To update all features we could simply uncheck the box.
Remembering our syntax rules from the Selecting by Attributes demo we need to apply a single quotes around text-based entries.
Back in the Select by Expression tool let's populate another class, changing values to greater than 311 and less than 315. So 25000 features were selected. Since we have already created our field we will use Update Existing field and scroll down to the bottom of the list and selecting our Class field. Our current selection corresponds to local classes.
Now let's create one final selection - changing to road_class to = 309, which corresponds with Collector roads. Once again in the Field Calculator, we'll select the field to update and enter the corresponding attribute. The remaining expressions are provided in the video description – which can be used to populate the remainder of the field.
So now we'll use fields in the CP_Roads layer to update the Speed Limit field which is currently empty. The first one is simple entering "is_trans_c" = 11 – meaning is TransCanada Highway is TRUE. In the Calculator click Update and find the Speed_Rest Field. So the limit for the TransCanada in Manitoba is 110 kilometres an hour and we recall numbers can be entered as is.
The next few expressions are slightly more complex, since we are using a variety of fields to approximate speed restrictions. So we can use the Official S field, which contains the full name and type of the road, and add LIKE wildcard way to isolate Highways, Freeways and Expressways. But we want to avoid selecting other roads containing WAY - like Stoneway or Wallford Way - so we will also specify of_street_6 which is the Road Type and use the IN operator so to avoid repeating the field for each attribute. We'll scroll through the unique entries and add Highway, comma Freeway. Had we left the Road Segments unclipped we would also need to add Expressway. And finally to avoid overwriting the Speed Limits we've already populated with previous expressions we'll use AND "speed_rest" IS NULL in all subsequent expressions. In the Field Calculator we'll add the corresponding speed limit, defaulting to 100 kilometres an hour.
Now we can remove the components except Speed Rest IS NULL from our previous expression, and use the Official 2 field which provides a general indication of the road settings. Once again we'll use the IN operator and add Unorganized, Reserve and Rural Municipality. Then we'll use the road_class field, specifying greater than 307 and less than 310, to isolate non-urban roads that are collector or arterial. Once the selection is created, we'll enter an average speed limit of 80 kilometres per hour in the Field Calculator.
As with our Class field, the remaining expressions and associated speed limits to update in the Field Calculator are found in the video description, along with an explanation of the expressions.
The final thing I'd like to show is adding two final fields. The first is the length of the road segments in kilometers. I recommend populating both these fields fully prior to applying these calculations to avoid repeating these procedures later, as we are only currently updating the selected features. So applying the skills from earlier in the video the syntax is $length, and divided by 1000 for units in kilometres.
Now we'll add a field called TimeMin, which we will use the Length and Speed Limit fields to calculate. Speed equals distance over time, so time equals distance over speed, dividing our Length KM field by the speed_rest field. And left as-is the output is currently in hours, so we will just multiply by 60 to calculate the time to traverse each road segment in Minutes. Now ensure to Save Edits and Toggle the Editor off.
Congratulations! You should now feel confident using the Field Calculator to add and update fields and edit attributes for large feature selections in vector datasets. You should also feel comfortable applying expression syntax to perform these procedures – such as applying the appropriate operators and syntax for different attributes, and using multiple fields to isolate features by criteria of interest. We'll continue expanding these syntax skills throughout the tutorials. Additionally you should feel comfortable adding geometric, numeric and text attributes, and derive new information using the Field Calculator. Apply these skills to datasets of interest to you.
In the next demo we will discuss procedures for visualizing vector data specifically focusing on the Symbology and Labels tabs in the Layer Properties box to visualize different fields. We'll use the CPRoads layer from this tutorial to demonstrate rule-based visualizations as well.

QGIS Demo 7
(The Statistics Canada symbol and Canada wordmark appear on screen with the title: "Selecting Features by Attributes in QGIS")
Hello everyone. Today we'll introduce the attribute-based selection tools, which are used to select features with common entries like classes, categories or value ranges within specified fields. They help select and sub-set data by specific criteria, whereas the interactive selection tools explored earlier help select by areas of interest. Specifically we'll cover: The Select by Value and Expression tools, covering general Expression syntax for the latter. Then we'll export our selection to a new layer, demonstrating how to subset datasets by attributes of interest.
So the attribute selection tools are found beside the interactive tools on the Attribute Toolbar and also default for the selected layer in the Layers panel.
Let's start with the Select by Value tool using the Grain Elevators layer. This tool is the easier of the two to use as it does not require expression syntax, but is best suited to creating simple selections.
So, fields are listed on the left, attributes of interest can be specified in the centre and the operators applied to create the selection are chosen from the drop-downs on the right.
We'll start with a simple selection isolating grain elevators in British Columbia – with 13 returned features.
We could add additional criteria as desired, such as specifying only elevators with railways operated by CN, that are Terminal elevators, with a capacity in metric tons greater than 50000. Now only 5 features are selected.
If we want to use a field more than once, such as selecting features within or outside a value range we can remove the other parameters, and re-select, then simply change the value and operator and expand the selection options by clicking the drop-down – and in this case clicking Add to Current Selection. So, these additional selection options facilitate isolating features that match your criteria of interest.
However, the Select by Expression tool provides much more flexibility in using multiple criteria or repeating a specific field. So, let's explore the tool now using the Census Subdivision layer. Expressions are written in an SQL-like syntax and are used in multiple tools. Don't worry if you have no previous experience – we'll cover the main rules as we work through some examples.
So expressions are written on the left-hand side of the tool, while the centre column can be used to help construct queries. If we click a specific function of interest, the format, components and a sample of the expression are provided on the right.
Expanding the Fields and Values drop-down we can select a field from our dataset, and click All Unique to return the distinct attributes from within that Field. To add them to the expression we can just double left-click. So fields are double-quoted and text-based attributes are single quoted within expression syntax. Scrolling down to the Operators drop-down we can select the appropriate operator – in this case LIKE for text-based entries. As you get more comfortable you can begin to write these expressions from the keyboard.
So, let's explore some additional expressions using the Census Division layer.
So we could use a Wildcard to isolate features with some overlap in their attributes. The % sign is a wildcard meaning any characters of any length - in this case returning all provinces and territories beginning with the letter N.
If we wanted to define the criteria that is not of interest, which is sometimes easier than specifying all the criteria that are - we could just add NOT in front of LIKE, which toggles our selected features. In this case we could have also used the Invert Feature Selection for the same results.
The equivalent of these operators for numeric attributes would be the equal sign (=) and exclamation mark equal sign (!=) for not equals.
So, now let's explore numeric-based expressions using the Unique Census Division identifier field, such as selecting features within or outside of specified ranges – in this case greater than 2000 and less than 4000.
So as you can see, numbers can be entered as-is and the Field Name is repeated for each expression component even when it is the same field. So here we selected all divisions within Ontario and Québec.
Now let's switch the operator to isolate features outside of the range, similar to the selection we created with the grain elevators at the beginning of the demo. No features are selected, and this is because the unique identifier cannot simultaneously be less than 2000 and greater than 4000. In this case we would need to use the OR operator, which is used to select outside of value ranges or additional criteria that are not inherently mutually inclusive. So, think critically about the applied operator and its influence on which features are returned.
We can also use brackets to compartmentalize different components of an expression, such as combining the AND and OR operators when creating more advanced expressions. So, we'll switch 4000 to 5000 and add another component specifying AND less than 6000. Here we've returned the divisions on the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts.
Finally we can also include different fields within the same expression. In this case adding Census Division Name like Division wildcard, which will return any Census Divisions whose names begin with the word Division.
So as you can see the Select by Expression tool offers a lot more flexibility and capabilities in creating advanced feature selections, enabling the repeated use of a specific field or multiple fields and attributes being incorporated when creating the selection.
Now, the final thing I'd like to discuss is exporting our selection in our Census Subdivision layer to a new layer - also known as sub-setting. To export our selected features, we can just right-click, go to Export and – hit Save Selected Features As. This checks the Save Only Selected box within the Save Vector Layer as box. Sub-setting helps remove peripheral features - reducing storage space and processing times. The Save Layer As box can also be used to permanently save temporary layers, change the coordinate reference system or the file format of a vector.
Here we'll change the coordinate reference system to UTM Zone 14, the same we used when creating our AOI polygon in the previous demo.
We'll also provide the output filename and directory. Using a distinctive file naming scheme can help organize and quickly find files. Use a scheme that's most intuitive for you. My preference is to apply prefixes to distinguish processes applied to datasets, as they are listed alphabetically in the Browser panel. Here, I'll call the subset layer .pmb-csd for projected Manitoba census subdivisions.
Click OK. And this will save our subset dataset for future use and also load the layer into the Layers Panel.
Congratulations! You've learned the skills to select features by criteria of interest and export them to a new layer. You should now feel confident using the drop-downs to help construct expressions and applying the syntax to different field types. We'll advance these skills in the following demo, using the expressions in the field calculator to add and update fields, and in conjunction with the Select by Expression tool update the attributes for large feature selections.

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 unit(s) targeted by this questionnaire only, 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.

Personal information collected through the Survey on Sexual Misconduct at Work (SSMW) is described in Statistics Canada's "Special Surveys" Personal Information Bank. The Personal Information Bank refers to information collected through Statistics Canada's ad hoc surveys, which are conducted on behalf of other government departments, under the authority of the Statistics Act. "Special surveys" covers a variety of socio-economic topics including health, housing, labour market, education and literacy, as well as demographic data.
The "Special Surveys" Personal Information Bank (Bank number: StatCan PPU 026) is published on the Statistics Canada website under the latest Information about Programs and Information Holdings chapter.
Statistics Canada will be conducting the Survey on Sexual Misconduct at Work, a voluntary survey, on behalf of the federal Department for Women and Gender Equality in response to Canada's Strategy to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence. The survey will provide insight on the prevalence and nature of sexual harassment, discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity and sexual victimization in Canadian work-related settings.
The survey includes questions about the characteristics, impact and reporting of these experiences, and related perceptions of workplace culture. It also includes questions on the age, province of residence, postal code, sex at birth, gender identity and expression, place of birth, immigration and citizenship, personal and household income, religion, and disability of the respondent. The survey includes specific questions about the jobs or businesses that the respondents have had in the 12 months leading up to collection. Respondents are given the option of identifying the name of their employer(s) and position(s). Alternatively, they can provide nicknames for the former, for privacy purposes.
This data will be collected from individuals aged 15 years and older who live in the ten Canadian provinces and who have worked in their lifetime. The results will be presented by province, where possible, as well as by industry and occupation.
While the Generic Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) addresses most of the privacy and security risks related to statistical activities conducted by Statistics Canada, this supplement describes additional measures (see below, Mitigation Factors) being implemented for collection and access to the information due to the sensitivity of the questions asked. This supplement also presents an analysis of the necessity and proportionality of this new collection of personal information.
The collection and use of personal information for the SSMW can be justified against the four-part test proposed by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada:
Necessity: The Survey on Sexual Misconduct at Work will support the Government of Canada's Strategy to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence. The content and scope of the survey are in part defined by discussions held with a range of stakeholders and subject matter experts such as academics, researchers, service providers, provincial/territorial governments, and the Department for Women and Gender Equality. The content of the survey, including the personal information being requested, was deemed necessary for understanding, and, ultimately, preventing and addressing experiences of inappropriate sexual behaviours. This includes discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity and sexual victimization in the workplace. Research suggests the risk of experiencing sexual harassment and victimization varies according to a number of factors, many of which require the collection of personal information, such as age. Gathering non-identifiable data would not enable the identification of these risk factors and would result in potentially ineffective interventions.
Research on sexual harassment has identified certain risk factors such as gender, education, income, visible minority status, disability status and marital status. The data will be analysed according to these factors to determine if they are also associated with an increased risk of sexual harassment and victimization in the workplace specifically.
Effectiveness: Conducting surveys is the only way to get estimates of both reported and unreported sexual harassment. This is required in order to fully understand the scope of sexual harassment in the workplace and to put in place preventative measures. A sample size of 50,000 individuals has been assessed as necessary by methodologists to produce quality statistics that represent potentially rare events, such as sexual assault at work.
The survey will help fill a gap in provincial and regional estimates of sexual harassment, victimization and discrimination based on sex, gender and sexual orientation in Canadian work-related settings and will supplement recorded crime rates. This high quality, timely and relevant data will help inform workplace codes of conduct, as well as other policies, laws and programs designed to prevent and respond to sexual misconduct in the workplace. As a result the survey results help Canadian governments, at all levels, and employers address two pillars: prevention, and legal and justice system response.
Other surveys of a similar nature have been carried out by Statistics Canada, such as:
These surveys provide valuable insights and are also used to study the prevalence of sexual harassment over time.
Proportionality: Proportionality has been considered based on the following elements – sensitivity and ethics:
Data collected through the Survey on Sexual Misconduct at Work will contain only the variables required to achieve the statistical goals of the survey. Standard best practices for household surveys with respect to data collection and publication will be followed. The public benefits of the survey findings, which are expected to inform policies, laws, programs and support services aimed at improving workplace culture and work-related settings across the country, are believed to be proportional to the potential privacy intrusion for the 50,000 participants being sampled for this voluntary survey.
Alternatives: Few sources have gathered data on self-reported sexual victimization in the workplace. In 2016, the General Social Survey provided some insight on sexual harassment in a survey focused on the larger topic of Canadians at work and home. In 2017, Insights West, a market research firm surveyed women exclusively on whether and how often they experience sexual harassment at work. That same year, Employment and Social Development Canada surveyed 1,000 people and held public consultations to better understand the types of harassment behaviours that take place in Canadian workplaces. However, no other quality sources report comprehensive and in-depth information such as the characteristics, impact and reporting of these incidents or the industries and settings in which they occur. Furthermore, existing crime data available from administrative data sources are limited to officially reported events that meet the threshold for criminality and are known to significantly underrepresent true rates of sexual victimization in the population. As such, data gaps exist and more information is needed in order to help guide policies, laws, programs and support services that prevent and respond to these behaviours in the workplace.
The survey content includes questions on witnessing and experiencing inappropriate sexual behaviours, discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity, and sexual assault. This content has undergone two rounds of in-person testing, including a voluntary round of sensitivity testing to identify and address potential sources of harm for future respondents. As expected, some questions were considered sensitive by the test respondents but the overall risk of harm to survey participants was deemed manageable through the mitigating actions outlined here.
All respondents will be informed of the sensitive nature of the survey before participating via a letter and brochure explaining the survey's purpose. Respondents will also be informed, in both the invitation and reminder letters as well as the questionnaire itself, that their participation is voluntary before being asked any questions.
For the Survey on Sexual Misconduct at Work, parental consent of minors will not be requested. For any data collection from minors, Statistics Canada's decision to seek consent from a minor's parent or legal guardian is based on what the minor is reasonably expected to understand. Statistics Canada considered factors such as the ability to understand the survey questions and to make an informed decision regarding their participation, their responses and the use of their personal information. The guideline for the majority of Statistics Canada surveys is to seek parental consent for respondents under 15 years of age. This survey is not exceptional in this regard, and it is considered that minors aged 15 and above will have the necessary understanding to make an informed decision regarding their participation in this voluntary survey.
Statistics Canada has established that answers to sensitive questions collected from minors will not be disclosed to parents or guardians requesting access to their child's personal information. If parental values and belief systems differ from those of the minor, disclosure of the minor's survey responses to a parent or guardian could place the minor's safety at risk. The respondents themselves, whether they are adults or minors, can request and obtain the information collected about themselves.
Since survey questions may evoke emotional reactions from the respondents, contact information for support services and resources for victims of sexual violence will be made available to respondents in various forms, including in the brochure mailed to respondents, on the survey questionnaire and on the Statistics Canada website. Survey phone interviewers and help desk staff will also have this information available to relay to respondents. Survey phone interviewers will receive additional training from a certified clinical psychologist on how to handle difficult interviews with respondents who may be triggered by the content of the survey. In addition, interviewers will receive training and resources on self-care strategies during the collection period.
At the end of the survey questionnaire, we have included a series of questions to understand the experience and impact that the survey had on respondents. We hope to be able to draw the same conclusions that other surveys on the topic have made: that although this topic is a difficult one, respondents appreciate being heard, feel valued and believe there are benefits to the survey.
This assessment concludes that, with the existing Statistics Canada safeguards, any remaining risks are such that Statistics Canada is prepared to accept and manage the risk.
