Canadian Business Patterns

December 2004 

The CD-ROM Canadian Business Patterns, which is released today, provides counts of active establishments by geography, industry and employment size.

Canadian Business Patterns is compiled from the Business Register, which is a repository of information reflecting the Canadian business population.

Nationally, there were 2,377,107 active business establishments in December 2004 compared with 2,346,881 in June 2004.

Data from the Canadian Business Patterns CD-ROM are shown using the 2001 Standard Geographical Classification, the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS 2002), and by employment categories.

Starting with this issue, the Standard Industrial Classification will no longer be available in Canadian Business Patterns tables.

The CD-ROM Canadian Business Patterns, December 2004 (61F0040XCB) is now available. Cost of data varies between $150 and $2,000 depending on the number of tables or cells requested.

For more information, or to find out about the concepts, methods, and data quality for this release, contact Beau Cinnamon (613-951-9021; BRDinfoDRE@statcan.gc.ca) or Joanne Proulx (613-951-9006), Business Register Division.
