Online lectures

The video describes the overall framework that constitutes Canada's national economic accounts. This online lecture discusses why a framework is needed and which framework Statistics Canada uses to report on the structure and evolution of Canada's economy.

In this introductory tutorial we'll discuss what geographic information systems (GIS) are, their applications, and potential uses in your own areas of work and expertise.

This tutorial covers the main categories and sub-types of spatial data used in GIS, as well as three properties that make datasets spatial: map projections, datums and coordinate reference systems.

This tutorial covers navigating and downloading spatial data from Canada's Open Maps platform, the integrated geospatial data archive for the federal government.

In this introductory tutorial, you'll learn to navigate QGIS's user-friendly interface, procedures to load spatial datasets in to the program from the Browser Panel and how to order vector layers of different geometry types for visualization in the Map Canvas.

This QGIS tutorial demonstrates tools for interacting with spatial data in the map canvas.

Following up from interacting with spatial data in the map canvas, this introductory QGIS tutorial covers additional data and available functions in the attribute table and Layer Properties box of loaded vector layers.

In this QGIS tutorial you'll learn to create a new vector layer and delineate feature geometries.

This QGIS tutorial covers attribute-based selection tools, which are used to query, select and subset features in a vector layer by specific criteria, conditions or values of interest within fields of the attribute table.

This QGIS tutorial introduces the Field Calculator, used to add or update fields within the attribute table and edit features.

In this QGIS tutorial we'll cover the available symbology styles and explore their application to text and numeric field types in visualizing vector layers.

In this follow-up QGIS tutorial on visualizing vector data, we'll cover rule-based symbologies and labelling schemes, available symbology file formats and creating advanced labels with expression syntax.

This tutorial introduces best practices for using QGIS and tips for managing datasets, spatial properties and troubleshooting common errors with processing tools.

This QGIS tutorial covers joining datasets by attributes, using common entries to join fields between two or more layers.

Following up from the previous tutorial on one-to-one joins by attributes, we'll discuss the second type – the one-to-many join, where there are many rows or features for one corresponding feature geometry.

In this two-part QGIS demo we'll cover procedures for creating maps in the Print Layout - a separate window from the main interface.

In this follow-up tutorial, we'll add some additional map items and then export the map begun in Part I.

This QGIS tutorial covers semi-automated mapping over multiple areas of interest using a coverage layer, which defines the map areas, and the Atlas Panel in the Print Layout window.

This QGIS tutorial introduces geoprocessing tools – which are used to overlay and combine layers based on their spatial distributions.

In this follow up QGIS tutorial on geoprocessing tools, we'll use the Dissolve and Aggregate tools with the riparian land-cover layer to examine the distribution of different land-cover classes over the entire clip area and by specific watershed respectively.

This QGIS tutorial provides an introduction to raster datasets, covering procedures for processing, exporting and visualizing these datasets – demonstrated with the single-band Digital Elevation Model (DEM) rasters downloaded from Open Maps.

In this follow-up QGIS tutorial on raster data we'll explore common tools and derivatives of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and show how to use the Raster Calculator to select and combine rasters.

This online lecture provides an introduction to Statistics Canada's definition and production of the Consumer Price Index, which measures the rate at which prices of goods and services purchased by Canadian consumers change, on average, over a specified period of time.

This online tutorial will provide you with an overview to Statistics Canada's Producer Price Indexes - what they are, how they are made and what they are used for.
