New Dissemination Model – Navigation and Tables

Consultation objectives

In April 2012, Statistics Canada launched its three-year New Dissemination Model project with the goal of modernizing the methods and framework for disseminating data via its website. The key objective is to create a user-centric website and to increase coherency, consistency and simplicity in dissemination activities.

Statistics Canada will be consulting Canadians in October 2013 about the new website design. The objective of the consultation is to determine whether Statistics Canada website users find the New Dissemination Model's proposed navigation framework, taxonomy and tables structure intuitive and easy to use. Some tasks will be tested on mobile devices or emulators.

Consultation methodology

Statistics Canada will hold in-person usability consultations. Participants will be asked to complete a series of tasks and to provide feedback on the proposed website.
