Annual Maple Products Survey - 2025

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey collects data to provide estimates of production and value of maple products in Canada. The data are used by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, other government departments and provincial governments as well as producer's organizations. This information assists in the administration of agricultural policies, production and price analysis as well as economic research.

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.

Other important information

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 respondent burden, Statistics Canada may combine it 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.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Note: Press the help button (?) for additional information, including a detailed description of this activity complete with example activities and any applicable exclusions.

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.

Examples:

  • growing maple trees for the harvest of maple sap
  • operation of maple sugar bush
  • producing maple products in plants
  • production of maple sugars and syrups in a separate central facility

Exclusions:

  • manufacturing artificially flavoured maple syrup products (See 311990-All other food manufacturing)

Survey of Commercial and Institutional Energy Use (SCIEU): Post-secondary institutions and hospitals - detailed questionnaire, 2024

Survey purpose

One of the principal goals of the Government of Canada is to continually improve energy efficiency in Canada through practical and innovative programs and policies. Such improvements support a transition to a low carbon economy, reduce energy consumption and help lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Natural Resources Canada, in partnership with Statistics Canada, is working to establish a better understanding of this sector in order to develop effective federal, provincial, territorial and municipal government programs and policies in support of energy efficiency and lower GHG emissions.

This survey will collect detailed information on the energy demand and consumption patterns of post-secondary institutions and hospitals in Canada. Information will include the types and quantities of energy being used (such as electricity, natural gas, etc.), and building characteristics to better understand energy consumption. Information from this survey will be used by analysts, policy-makers, governments, utilities, industry associations, building managers and business owners.

Reporting period

For the purposes of this survey, report information for the year of 2024.

What you will need to complete this questionnaire

For size of the buildings, you can refer to the Building Occupancy Permit, fire protection drawings or architectural drawings.

You will also need access to your energy bills for 2024.

Reporting instructions

  • Percentages should be rounded to whole numbers.
  • When precise figures are not available, provide your best estimates.
  • Enter "0" if there is no value to report.

Definitions

Post-secondary institution: An educational institution that is attended after obtaining a high school diploma or equivalent.

Hospital: A healthcare institution providing medical and surgical treatment and nursing care for sick or injured people.

Why have you been selected?
