Private dwellings in residential properties

Introduction

The Modernizing Housing Data Initiative—a collaboration between Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada; Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation; and Statistics Canada—aims to generate timely and granular data that will inform housing policy and program development. Statistics Canada is expanding the Canadian Housing Statistics Program (CHSP) to produce annual data on dwellings at the municipal level. These data provide new information on housing stock, improving the understanding of Canada’s housing market.

Methodology

The derivation aims to produce a complete and accurate estimate of the number of private dwellings in Canada. It is the product of several reconciled administrative data sources: provincial and territorial property data from land registries and assessment rolls, and residential building data available in Statistics Canada’s Statistical Building Register (SBgR). The number of dwellings is estimated for each residential property covered by the CHSP.

The initial process involved data standardization and harmonization to consolidate any differences in concepts and data between the datasets in preparation for linkage. Multiple linkage methods were used, including deterministic geospatial location-based and probabilistic address-based linkages. Subsequently, a post-match resolution process was implemented to ensure that only high-quality property and building unit links were retained.

A final estimate was produced by reconciling inputs from the various sources and represents the total number of private residential dwellings at the property level.

Quality evaluation

Consultations were held with each of the data providers to ensure reference points were harmonized, with an emphasis on harmonizing the time period associated with dwelling attributes across the jurisdictions.

The content of the input data, including property characteristics, was then compared across vintages to ensure coherency over time.

Subsequently, steps were taken to consolidate and standardize variables originating from the various data sources to achieve the best match between records. Vintages of the administrative data sources were chosen to best reflect the target vintage date of the dwelling stock.

Linkage results were reviewed to ensure that the methods used were largely correct and appropriate.

The following is a selection of the data evaluations that were performed.

Note: CMA/CA refers to census metropolitan area or census agglomeration.

Table 1 presents linkage rates between residential properties from the CHSP and building units from the SBgR. The results show that the linkage rates are generally high and mostly stable across the two reference years. Rates are higher in census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and census agglomerations (CAs), compared with outside CMAs and CAs. These differences result from the higher presence of non-civic addresses, incomplete civic addresses and misaligned input data across the data sources in areas outside CMAs and CAs. This is demonstrated when examining the change in the linkage rate in rural Manitoba, where an improvement in the quality of civic addresses was the main contributor to greater linkage success. Additionally, differences in coverage of the input data, especially for newly constructed dwellings, also explain a portion of unlinked records.

For linked records, the alignment between dwelling count information from property assessment authorities and the SBgR is consistent and stable across time, as presented in Table 2. The results show that the alignment rate was slightly higher in 2024 compared with 2023, because of coverage improvements for residential building units among SBgR. Conversely, the alignment rate in British Columbia was slightly lower than that in other provinces, mainly because of challenges capturing secondary suites across urban communities.

For situations where linked records have differing dwelling counts across the two data sources, the higher dwelling count is taken to account primarily for the presence of secondary suites. When there is no link to the SBgR, the dwelling is derived from the property assessment source.

Limitations

The CHSP database reflects the current content of the external data provider’s registry of residential properties as of the date of extraction, which varies by province and territory. In Newfoundland and Labrador, coverage is limited to a portion of the province. As a result, the total number of residential dwellings is not available at the provincial level.

Introduction

The Canadian Housing Statistics Program (CHSP) aims to provide detailed insights on residential properties in Canada, their owners, and the number of dwellings associated with these properties. However, certain estimates are subject to limitations or may not be available for some jurisdictions or variable types because of differences in data sources, regional coverage and processing steps.

The purpose of this document is to help the reader interpret and use data from the CHSP. It outlines key data quality considerations and specific limitations affecting the availability and comparability of estimates across some domains.

To consult changes that are specific to a given reference year, please refer to the Summary of changes - Surveys and statistical programs - Canadian Housing Statistics Program (CHSP).

Data processing

  • Random rounding is applied to all raw counts to protect the confidentiality of owners in the totals. Totals and subtotals may not equal the sum of components.
  • Percentages are calculated from rounded counts.
  • Averages and medians are calculated using only non-missing, non-null, and values greater than zero for the variables of interest (for example, assessment value, total living area and total income).
  • Assessment value per square foot refers to the assessment value of a property divided by its total living area.
  • Some property or owner characteristics are in the "unspecified" category either because the corresponding information was not received from the data provider or because there is no identifiable link connecting the property to the owner information. Therefore, users must take this limitation into account when interpreting the data.
  • Previous reference period estimates are subject to revision.
  • Each year, geocoding is updated based on the best available location information, which may result in slight variations in the counts of census subdivisions from one year to the next.

Universe of property tables

The tables 46-10-0093, 46-10-0094 and 46-10-0095 are restricted to residential properties in Canada. The geographic location of a property is determined by its physical address. Mixed-use properties (e.g., residential and commercial) are included, but the property characteristics reported in the tables reflect only the residential portion of mixed-use properties. The universe covers residential properties across Canada. However, it does not cover residential properties located on reserves or collective dwellings. It also excludes commercial, industrial, and institutional properties.

Universe of owner tables

The tables 46-10-0030 and 46-10-0069 include all residential property owners at the provincial level. However, table 46-10-0030 also provides data on buyers, who are property owners who acquired a property, either on or off the market, between January 1 and December 31 of the previous reference year.

The tables 46-10-009646-10-0097 and 46-10-0098 are restricted to resident owners who are persons occupying their residential property. An owner's geographic location is determined by the location of the occupied property.

In the case of Nunavut, where information on owner-occupied properties is unavailable, the universe includes all resident owners who are persons without restrictions on owner-occupancy. For owners with multiple properties, the geographic location and property characteristics are based on the residential property with the highest assessment value.

Universe of buyer table

The table 46-10-0099 is restricted to resident buyers who are persons who filed their T1 tax return form in the previous year and purchased a property in a market sale.

Universe of the private dwelling table

Table 46-10-0101 covers all residential properties in the CHSP that contain at least one private dwelling. It also includes all private dwellings associated with these properties. Information on assessment values is reported at the property level.

Data availability and limitations

Newfoundland and Labrador

  • Estimates are not available at the provincial level and for the category "outside of census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and census agglomerations (CAs)."
  • Estimates by property type are available only for the census subdivision of St. John's.

Prince Edward Island

  • Estimates of total living area and assessment value per square foot are not available.

New Brunswick

  • Estimates of total living area and assessment value per square foot for condominium apartments are not available.
  • The "total, all property types" category excludes condominium apartments; therefore, users should consider this limitation when interpreting estimates of total living area and assessment value per square foot for this group.

Manitoba

  • Estimates by property use of residential property are suppressed in many areas due to lower linkage quality.
  • The estimate of the number of owner-occupied residential property is underestimated due to the quality of the linkage.

Saskatchewan

  • Provincial estimates exclude the census subdivision of Prince Albert.
  • Owner-related variables are not available because of missing owners' information.

Alberta

  • Estimates by property use and residency status of residential property are suppressed due to low data quality.
  • The number of resident owners who are persons occupying a residential property, which represent the universe of the owner tables, is underestimated due to the low linkage quality. Therefore, the number of owners should be interpreted with caution.

Yukon

  • Estimates by property use and residency status of residential property are available only for the census subdivision (CSD) of Whitehorse.
  • The number of resident owners who are persons occupying a residential property, which represent the universe of the owner tables, is underestimated due to the low linkage quality outside the CSD of Whitehorse. Therefore, the number of owners outside this CSD should be interpreted with caution.

Northwest Territories

  • Data are available only for the CA of Yellowknife.
  • Estimates by property type and period of construction are not available.
  • Estimates of total living area and assessment value per square foot are not available.

Nunavut

  • Estimates by property type, period of construction and property use are not available.
  • Estimates of total living area and assessment value per square foot are not available.

Variable-specific limitations

Property use of residential property

  • The property use indicator is suppressed outside CMAs and CAs due to low linkage quality. It may also be removed in certain regions where its reliability has been deemed insufficient.
  • For the most recent period of construction, the property use indicator is less precise. Consequently, these estimates should be used with caution.

Owner-occupancy

  • The quality of the linkage is unreliable outside CMAs and CAs, leading to an underestimation of the number of resident owners who are persons occupying a residential property, which represents the universe of the owner tables (except for Nunavut). Therefore, Census Subdivisions (CSDs) located outside CMAs and CAs are not included in the owner tables. Although aggregate estimates for the category "outside of census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and census agglomerations (CAs)" are still provided, the number of owners in this category should be interpreted with caution.

Assessment value

  • Because provinces and territories have varying assessment periods and assessment roll durations from one region to another, it is not possible to make precise comparisons between the assessment values of properties located in different provinces or territories. To obtain the reference years for property assessment values, please refer to the document linked on the CHSP web page: Reference years of the property stock and assessment values, by province and territory.

Number of residential properties owned

  • The number of properties owned by the property owner is limited to residential properties that are within a given province.

Sale Price

  • Estimates of property sale prices are limited to transactions conducted on the market and are available only for residents.

Number of Buyers

  • Estimates of the number of buyers are restricted to residents only.

Elementary – Secondary Education Survey (ESES) Definitions Guide - 2024/2025

Data Collection: 2020/2021 to 2024/2025

History and background

The Elementary–Secondary Education Survey (ESES) began in 2003 as a Statistics Canada pilot project known as the Elementary–Secondary Education Statistics Project (ESESP). The ESESP survey content originated from three tables that were originally part of a survey sent out each year to all provinces and territories by the British Columbia Ministry of Education. Following formal consultation with all provinces, territories and data users, Statistics Canada introduced seven new tables to collect additional data. The project's goals were to collect expenditures data for elementary and secondary public schools, and to replace several surveys that were collecting data on enrolments, graduates, and educators: the Elementary/Secondary School Enrolment Survey; the Secondary School Graduate Survey; and the Elementary–Secondary Education Staff Survey. Although the ESESP collected expenditure data, the Survey of Uniform Financial System – School Boards survey (SUFSB, record number 3119) remained active.

In January 2010, the ESESP was renamed the Elementary–Secondary Education Survey to symbolize the change from a pilot project to a Statistics Canada ongoing core survey. The main objectives of the collection tool remained: to produce relevant, comparable and timely statistics, and to reduce the respondent burden on educational organizations and school principals.

Statistics Canada maintains a close relationship with the Canadian Education Statistics Council (CESC), particularly its Strategic Management Committee (SMC), and seeks its ongoing advice and guidance on the survey. The CESC is a partnership between the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC) and Statistics Canada. It was established in 1989 to improve the quality and comparability of Canadian education data and to provide information that can inform policy development in education. The CESC also produces two sets of education indicators, Education Indicators in Canada: Report of the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program (Statistics Canada catalogue number 81-582-X) and Education Indicators in Canada: An International Perspective (catalogue number 81-604-X), for policy makers, practitioners, and the public to monitor the performance of education systems, across jurisdictions and over time.

Changes in data collection

The ESES is an annual survey of administrative data that focuses primarily on public schools. It collects aggregate data from the provincial/territorial ministries or departments of education. Information on enrolments and graduates is reported by type of program and by age and sex, and enrolments are also reported by grade and sex. In addition, the ESES collects information pertaining to full- and part-time educators.

Private school data collection: In the summer of 2010, Statistics Canada conducted a jurisdictional review and was able to ascertain that data for enrolments by grade and by age, enrolments in official languages programs, and counts of graduates and educators could also be provided for private schools. Therefore, in January 2011, Statistics Canada began collecting private school data (2009/2010 reference period).

Home-schooling data collection: In the summer of 2011, Statistics Canada conducted another jurisdictional review and was able to ascertain that data for enrolments by grade and by age could also be provided for home-schooling. Therefore, in January 2012, Statistics Canada began collecting home-schooling data (2010/2011 reference period).

General definitions

In order to obtain consistent counts of students, graduates, educators, and expenditures across provinces and territories, it is important that respondents use common definitions.

Ministry/Department of Education: There is no federal department of education and no integrated national system of education in Canada. Ministries or departments of education in Canada's 10 provinces and 3 territories are responsible for the organization, delivery and assessment of education at the elementary and secondary levels.

School boards/districts: Local governance of education is usually entrusted to school boards, school districts, school divisions or district education councils/authorities (the terminology used varies by province/territory). The power delegated to these local authorities, whose members are typically appointed or elected by public ballot, is at the discretion of the provincial and territorial governments and generally consists of the operation and administration (including financial) of the group of schools within their board, district or division, curriculum implementation, responsibility for personnel, enrolment of students, and initiation of proposals for new construction or other major capital expenditures.

The tables explained: ESES financial data

Table 1, Expenditures: The information in the expenditures table (tab 1PubExpenditures) is collected primarily for use by the finance section at the Centre for Education Statistics, where the data form an input into the consolidated revenue and expenditure figures for public elementary–secondary education. The ESES financial data are compared with and validated against other sources of financial data such as provincial/territorial public accounts and school board financial statements.

School board/district expenditures: Include all expenditures (operating and capital) paid directly by district school boards.

Ministry/Department of Education expenditures: Include all expenditures (operating and capital) paid on behalf of district school boards by Ministries/Departments of Education or any other entities responsible for education.

Other provincial/territorial government or agency expenditures: Include all expenditures (operating and capital) incurred by other provincial/territorial departments or agencies such as Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Transport, etc. Do not include expenses paid on behalf of school districts by Ministries of Education.

Expenditures should be reported by fiscal year.

Include expenditures for programs in elementary and secondary public schools.

Do not include the following expenditures:

  • federal expenditures (e.g., schools operated by Indigenous Services Canada or National Defence, or federal programs such as Canadian Heritage official languages programs, Employment and Social Development Canada programs, Global Affairs Canada programs, and social [health and welfare] programs);
  • those for private schools;
  • those related to programs at the postsecondary level;
  • intra-sectoral transactions;
  • principal portion of debt repayments or bank loans;
  • recoveries of expenditures from specified purpose;
  • provision for vacation pay and similar employee benefit;
  • provision for bad debts and any other provisions;
  • reserves and other suspense accounts;
  • deficits and write-off to losses;
  • depreciation on capital expenditures (amortization charges);
  • debenture discount;
  • taxes remitted to other government sub-sectors (e.g., municipal taxes).

The tables explained: ESES public, private and home-schooling data

The ESES is an annual survey of administrative data that focuses primarily on public schools. It also collects some information pertaining to private/independent schools, as well as home-schooling.

Public schools: Public schools are publicly funded elementary and secondary schools that are operated by school boards or the province or territory. They include all regular public schools as well as provincial reformatory or custodial schools, and other schools that are recognized and funded by the province or territory.

Private/Independent schools: Parents can choose to send their children to private/independent schools, which typically offer a curriculum similar to that provided by public schools, in a similarly structured way. Private/Independent schools encompass elementary and secondary schools that are operated, managed and administered by private individuals and/or groups (e.g., a church, a trade union or a business enterprise, or a foreign or international agency) or that have a governing board that exercises powers similar to those of a board of education and consists mostly of members not selected by a public agency.

The extent to which an institution receives funding from public or private sources does not determine its classification as a public or private school. Privately managed schools may be subject to some regulation or control by public authorities, but these institutions are nevertheless classified as private, provided that they are ultimately subject to private control. Public regulation may extend to areas such as curriculum, staffing appointments, admissions policies, and other matters.

The ESES does not distinguish between government-dependent private and independent private institutions.

Home-schooling: Home-schooling is an alternative method of learning that takes place outside the public or private/independent school environment. Parents choosing home-schooling have the primary responsibility of managing, delivering and supervising their children's courses and programs of learning. Although home-schooling students may be associated with a public or private/independent school, the enrolment counts for home-schooling should be reported separately.

Public school enrolment

Table 2A and Table 2B, Number of students, by type of program, grade and sex / age and sex
(tab 2APubEnrolGradeSex and tab 2BPubEnrolAgeSex)

Public school enrolment is the number of students (headcount) enrolled in publicly funded schools operated by school boards or the province/territory in September (or as close as possible thereafter) of the school year.

Include all students in regular publicly funded schools, provincial reformatory or custodial schools, and other students recognized and funded by a province or territory. Students in a specific elementary or secondary grade should be reported in the appropriate grade. If a student is not considered to be in a specific elementary or secondary grade because the student is taking different subjects at a number of levels, or if the grade of the student is not known, report the student in the category “grade not reported”.

Include other, non-standard, enrolments such as those for students receiving educational services (if recognized by the province/territory) and for schools and/or school boards that receive funding in a unique manner. They may be non-graduates who are taking only a few courses required to complete graduation; for example, a student who is enrolled in only 25% of a "regular" course load and for whom the school or school district receives only 25% of the usual funding. Note: This category may not apply to some provinces or territories.

Do not include students enrolled in: programs or schools outside the regular system; home-schooling programs; private/independent schools; or schools that are financed by federal departments (e.g., Indigenous Services Canada or the Department of National Defence).

Table 2.1, Regular programs for youth

Report the number of students enrolled in general training programs geared toward and offered primarily to similarly-aged young people. Although the majority of enrolments in this category will likely be for school-aged children and youth, some adults may be enrolled.

Table 2.2, Full-time equivalent (FTE) rate – Regular programs for youth

The full-time equivalent (FTE) rate represents the fraction of time spent in a classroom and for which the students are funded. If the fraction is unknown, an estimate should be provided; for example, for junior kindergarten and kindergarten students taking a half-time program that is funded, the FTE enrolment would be the headcount enrolment divided by 2, which is 0.5. If a student is only taking a quarter of the usual course load and is funded on that basis, the FTE enrolment would be the headcount enrolment divided by 4, which is 0.25.

Note: For most jurisdictions, Grades 1 through 12 have an FTE of 1.0 as these grades are generally considered full time. FTEs of less than 1.0 are common for Junior kindergarten and Kindergarten.

Table 2.3, General programs for adults

Report the number of students enrolled in general programs geared toward and offered primarily to adults within the elementary–secondary system. Some students in the youth sector may be enrolled in order to follow programs of study labelled as "adult education".

Do not include students enrolled in programs offered at the postsecondary level, or by any institution other than a school board.

Table 2.4, Vocational programs for youth and adults

Vocational education is designed for students to acquire the practical skills, know-how and understanding necessary for employment in a particular occupation or trade or class of occupations or trades. Successful completion of these programs usually leads students to a relevant labour market vocational qualification recognized by the authorities in the province/territory in which it is obtained.

Vocational students must have at least 25% of their instructional time in a vocational or technical program.

Report the number of students enrolled in professional and technical training programs offered in public schools operated by school boards or the province/territory.

Do not include students enrolled in vocational programs offered at the postsecondary level, or by any institution other than a school board.

Private school enrolment

Table 2A and Table 2B, Number of students, by type of program, grade and sex / age and sex
(tab 2APrivEnrolGradeSex and tab 2BPrivEnrolAgeSex)

Private school enrolment is the number of students enrolled in private/independent schools in September (or as close as possible thereafter) of the school year.

Students in a specific elementary or secondary grade should be reported in the appropriate grade. If a student is not considered to be in a specific elementary or secondary grade because the student is taking different subjects at a number of levels, or if the grade of the student is not known, report the student in the category “grade not reported”.

Do not include students enrolled in home-schooling programs, or in schools that are financed by federal departments (e.g., Indigenous Services Canada or the Department of National Defence).

Table 2.1, Regular programs for youth

Report the number of students enrolled in general training programs geared toward and offered primarily to similarly-aged young people. Although the majority of enrolments in this category will likely be for school-aged children and youth, some adults may be enrolled.

Table 2.2, Full-time equivalent (FTE) rate – Regular programs for youth

The full-time equivalent (FTE) rate represents the fraction of time spent in a classroom and for which the students are funded. If the fraction is unknown, an estimate should be provided; for example, for junior kindergarten and kindergarten students taking a half-time program that is funded, the FTE enrolment would be the headcount enrolment divided by 2, which is 0.5. If a student is only taking a quarter of the usual course load and is funded on that basis, the FTE enrolment would be the headcount enrolment divided by 4, which is 0.25.

Table 2A and Table 2B, Number of students, by type of program, grade and sex / age and sex
(tab 2AHSEnrolGradeSex and tab 2BHSEnrolAgeSex)

Home-schooling enrolment is the number of students enrolled in home-schooling in September (or as close as possible thereafter) of the school year. These counts should be reported separately to capture this alternative method of learning that takes place outside the public or private school environment.

Table 2.1, Regular programs for youth

Report the number of students enrolled in general training programs geared toward and offered primarily to similarly-aged young people. Although the majority of enrolments in this category will likely be for school-aged children and youth, some adults may be enrolled.

Canada outside Quebec: Enrolments in programs where French is taught to students attending English schools, as a subject in the regular course offerings. Quebec: Enrolments in programs where English is taught to students attending French schools, as a subject in the regular course offerings.

Include students enrolled in core French (programme de base de français) - A second language program offered at various grade levels, in which French is studied as a subject. This also includes the extended core program where one or more additional subjects can also be taught in the student's second official language (French outside Quebec, English in Quebec).

Also include students enrolled in intensive/extended French (programme intensif de français) - An enrichment of the core French program that involves periods of intensive study and use of French, while the regular curriculum is "compressed" into the remainder of that school year. It is important to note that the French instruction is focused only on language acquisition.

Table 3.2, French immersion programs

Enrolments in programs where French is the language of instruction for students attending English schools.

Include students enrolled in French immersion (programme d'immersion en français) - A program in which French is the language of instruction for a significant part of the school day; that is, several or all subjects are taught in French, except for English language arts. Immersion is designed for students who want to develop a proficiency in French as a second language.

Do not include enrolments in intensive/extended French programs in Table 3.2; they should be reported in Table 3.1.

Table 3.3, Education programs in the minority official language

Enrolments in programs for students from the official language minority of each province or territory (French outside Quebec, English in Quebec). These programs allow children in the official language minority to pursue their education in their language.

Public schools, enrolments in Indigenous language programs

Table 4, Number of students enrolled in Indigenous language programs, by type of program and grade
(tab 4PubEnrolAborLangGrade)

Table 4.1, Indigenous language as a subject (Indigenous second language program or core Indigenous)

Enrolments in programs or courses where an Indigenous language is taught as a subject (as a part of the regular course offerings) to Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. One or more additional subjects can also be taught in an Indigenous language but may not exceed 25% of all instruction time. Include enrolments in elective courses where an Indigenous language is taught as a subject.

Table 4.2, Indigenous language immersion programs (Indigenous first language programs)

Enrolments in programs where all classroom instruction is taught in an Indigenous language to Indigenous and non-Indigenous students.

Public schools, number of students who self-identify as Indigenous

Table 5A and Table 5B, Number of students enrolled in public schools who self-identify as Indigenous, by type of program, Indigenous group, grade and sex / age and sex (tab 5APubIndGradeSex and tab 5BPubIndAgeSex).

Report the number of students enrolled in public schools who self-identify as belonging to one of the three Indigenous groups recognized by the Canadian Constitution: First Nations (North American Indian), Métis, and Inuit (Inuk). First Nations (North American Indian) includes both Status and Non-Status Indians.

If a student’s Indigenous group appears to have changed from one school year to the next, record the enrolment in the most recent Indigenous group reported.

When more than one Indigenous group has been reported, the student should be counted in each appropriate group; however, the student must be counted only once in the totals.

Note: All students included in tabs 5A and 5B should be enrolled in off-reserve public schools (i.e., these students should already have been reported in the public school enrolments on tabs 2A and 2B).

Table 5.1, Regular programs for youth

Report the number of students who self-identify as Indigenous and are enrolled in general training programs geared toward and offered primarily to similarly-aged young people. Although the majority of enrolments in this category will likely be for school-aged children and youth, some adults may be enrolled.

Table 5.3, General programs for adults

Report the number of students who self-identify as Indigenous and are enrolled in general programs geared toward and offered primarily to adults within the elementary–secondary system. Some students in the youth sector may be enrolled in order to follow programs of study labelled as “adult education”.

Public and private schools, number of educators

Table 7, Number of educators
(tab 7PubEducAgeSex and tab 7PrivEducAgeSex)

Two different counts are captured for educators:

  • the number of full-time and part-time educators (headcounts), by age group and sex (Table 7.1); and
  • the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) educators, by category and sex (Table 7.2).

In both cases, report the number of educators on September 30 (or as close as possible thereafter) of the school year. Educators is a broad category that comprises teachers, school administrators, and pedagogical support.

  • Teachers are personnel who provide direct instruction to students, either in a group or on a one-on-one basis. Include:
    • classroom teachers, special education teachers, and other specialists such as music or physical education teachers;
    • other teachers who work with a group, or groups, of students in a classroom, in small groups in a resource room, or one-on-one inside or outside a regular classroom;
    • chairpersons of departments or other administrators/managers who spend the majority of their time teaching; and
    • personnel temporarily not at work (e.g., for reasons of illness or injury, maternity or parental leave, holiday or vacation)

Do not include substitute or supply teachers and unpaid instructional personnel such as student teachers.

  • School administrators are personnel who are responsible for the organization, administration and management of the school. Include principals, vice-principals, and other management staff with similar responsibilities who do not spend the majority of their time teaching. Do not include those who are in higher level management or receptionists, secretaries, clerks and other staff who support the administrative activities of the school.
  • Pedagogical support includes professional non-teaching personnel who provide services to students to support their educational programs. Include, for example, educational assistants, paid teacher's aides, guidance counselors and librarians. Do not include those in health and social support roles who are not educators (e.g., school nurses, school psychologists).

Table 7.1, Number of full-time and part-time educators (headcounts), by age group and sex

An educator headcount is defined as the number of educators on September 30 (or as close as possible thereafter) of the school year who are responsible for providing services to the students reported in the enrolment tables (tab 2APubEnrolGradeSex and tab 2BPubEnrolAgeSex). The numbers of full- and part-time educators reported in Table 7.1 will be summed to obtain the total number of educators.

Table 7.2, Number of full-time equivalent (FTE) educators, by category and sex

Full-time equivalent (FTE) educator is defined as the number of full-time educators on September 30 (or as close as possible thereafter) of the school year, plus the sum of part-time educators according to their percentage of a full-time employment allocation (determined by the province or territory). For example, if a normal full-time work allocation is 10 months per year, an educator who works for 6 months of the year would be counted as 0.6 of a full-time equivalent (FTE) or an employee who works part time for 10 months at 60% of full time would be 0.6 of an FTE. Report FTEs by category of educator if possible; i.e., in teachers, school administrators, or pedagogical support.

Annual Maple Products Survey - 2026

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.

4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

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)

Definitions

What are Capital Expenditures?

Capital Expenditures are the gross expenditures on fixed assets for use in the operations of your organization or for lease or rent to others. Gross expenditures are expenditures before deducting proceeds from disposals, and credits (capital grants, donations, government assistance and investment tax credits).

Fixed assets are also known as capital assets or property, plant and equipment. They are items with a useful life of more than one year and are not purchased for resale but rather for use in the entity's production of goods and services.

Examples are buildings, vehicles, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, machinery, and computer software.

Include:

  • Modifications, acquisitions and major renovations
  • Capital costs such as feasibility studies, architectural, legal, installation and engineering fees
  • Subsidies and grants received and used in additions to fixed assets and construction-in-progress during the period
  • Capitalized interest charges on loans with which capital projects are financed
  • Work done by own labour force
  • Additions to capital work in progress (construction-in-progress) accounts.

Exclude:

  • Transfers from capital work in progress (construction-in-progress) to fixed assets accounts
  • Assets associated with the acquisition of companies
  • Property developed for sale and machinery, or equipment acquired for sale (inventory).

How to Treat Leases

Include:

  • assets acquired as a lessee through either a capital or financial lease;
  • assets acquired for lease to others as an operating lease.

Exclude:

  • operating leases acquired as a lessee and capitalized to right-of-use assets in accordance with IFRS 16 (International Financial Reporting Standards)
  • assets acquired for lease to others, either as a capital or financial lease.

Non-Capital Repair and Maintenance Expenditures

This question represents the repair and maintenance of assets in contrast to the acquisition of assets or the renovation of assets.

Non-capitalized repair and maintenance expenditures are that portion of current or operating expenditures charged against revenue in the year incurred and made for the purpose of keeping the stock of fixed assets in good working condition during the life originally intended.

Repair and maintenance allow such fixed assets to operate at output producing capacity during the asset life without undue amounts of down time (preventive function). A second purpose is the returning of any portion of the stock of fixed assets into a state of good working condition after any malfunctioning or reduced efficiency for whatever reason (curative function) short of replacement of such fixed assets or adding significantly to their life or productive efficiency.

Maintenance expenditures on buildings and other structures may include the routine care of assets such as janitorial services, snow removal and/or salting and sanding by the firm's own employees or persons outside the firm's employ.

Maintenance expenditures on machinery and equipment may include oil change and lubrication of vehicles and machinery.

Include:

  • Gross non-capital repair and maintenance expenditures on non-residential buildings, other structures and on machinery and equipment;
  • Value of repair work done by your own employees as well as payments to persons outside your employ;
  • Building maintenance such as janitorial services, snow removal and sanding;
  • Equipment maintenance such as oil changes and lubrication of vehicles and other machinery.

Industry characteristics

New Assets: Report capital expenditures for acquisitions of new assets including the portion of work in progress for the current year. Include imports of used capital assets since they represent newly acquired assets for the Canadian economy.

Purchase of Used Canadian Assets: The object of our survey is to measure the acquisitions of new fixed assets separately from used fixed assets in the Canadian economy as a whole. This is because the acquisition of used assets does not increase the total inventory of fixed assets, it only transfers them within the Canadian economy.

Renovation, Retrofit, Refurbishing, Overhauling and Restoration: Report capital expenditures for existing assets being upgraded, renovated, retrofitted, refurbished, overhauled or restored.

Expected Useful Life of Assets: Report the expected life of the asset in years. If you have purchased similar assets with varying expected useful lives, please combine the data and provide a weighted average for the number of years, or the expected useful life of the asset with the largest value.

Land: Capital expenditures for land should include all costs associated with the purchase of the land that are not amortized or depreciated. Improvements of land should be reported in Non-Residential Construction.

Residential Construction: Capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for residential structures (on a contracted basis and/or by your own employees).

  • Include the housing portion of multi-purpose projects and of townsites.
  • Exclude buildings that have accommodation units without self contained or exclusive use of bathroom and kitchen facilities (e.g., some student and senior citizens residences) and associated expenditures on services.

Non-Residential Construction: Capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for non-residential building and engineering construction (on a contracted basis and/or by your own employees) whether for your own use or rent to others. Construction structures should be classified to an asset according to its principal use unless it is a multi-purpose structure where we would like you to separate the components. The cost of any machinery and equipment which is an integral or built-in feature of the structure (i.e. elevators, heating equipment, sprinkler systems, environmental controls, intercom systems, etc.) should be reported as part of that structure as well as landscaping, associated parking lots, etc.

Include:

  • Manufacturing plants, warehouses, office buildings, shopping centres, etc.;
  • Roads, bridges, sewers, electric power lines, underground cables, etc.;
  • The cost of demolition of buildings, land servicing and site preparation;
  • Leasehold and land improvements.
  • Additions to work in progress;
  • Townsite facilities such as streets, sewers, stores and schools;
  • Buildings that have accommodation units without self contained or exclusive use of bathroom and kitchen facilities (e.g., some student and senior citizen residences) and associated expenditures on services;
  • All preconstruction planning and design costs such as engineer and consulting fees and any materials supplied to construction contractors for installation, etc.

Machinery and Equipment

Capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for machinery and equipment, whether for your own use or for lease or rent to others. Machinery and equipment are generally housed in structures and can be removed or replaced without significantly altering the structure.

Include:

  • Automobiles, trucks, professional and scientific equipment, office and store furniture and appliances;
  • Computers (hardware only), broadcasting, telecommunications and other information and communication technologies equipment;
  • Motors, generators, transformers;
  • Any capitalized tooling expenses;
  • Acquisitions to work in progress;
  • Progress payments paid out before delivery in the year in which such payments are made;
  • Any balance owing or holdbacks should be reported in the year the cost is incurred.

Oil and Gas and Mineral Exploration: These expenditures include mineral rights fees and retention costs, geological, geophysical and seismic expenses, exploration drilling, and other costs incurred during the reporting period in order to determine whether mineral, oil or gas reserves exist and can be exploited commercially. Report gross expenditures, before deducting any incentive grants. Exclude the cost of land and business acquisitions.

Work in Progress: Work in progress represents accumulated costs since the start of capital projects which are intended to be capitalized upon completion.

Cost component of expenditures – internal costs

Internal construction or development costs: (such as material and labour) that are capitalized as part of the asset costs (such as own employee installation or erection of fixed assets, systems and software development staff).

Include all materials and supplies provided free to contractors and all architects, engineering and consultants fees and similar services.

Salaries and Wages: Show the total value of salaries and wages paid to your employees. Salaries and wages are gross earnings before deductions such as income tax and include incentive bonuses and vacation pay but exclude fringe benefits.

Materials and Supplies: Report total cost of materials and supplies used by your own employees and those provided free to contractors relating to the expenditures reported.

Other Charges: Examples of other charges are insurance, power, telephone and also architectural, legal, and engineering fees considered to be applicable to the expenditures reported.

Source of Funding Breakdown

Sources of funding of capital expenditures include grants, subsidies, donations, credit and venture capital from external sources, as well as internal funding. 

Government grants are recognized as unconditional transfer payments received from governments for activities that meet the eligibility criteria of the relevant program. Government contributions are recognized as conditional transfer payments provided by governments, under which recipients must satisfy specific conditions. These conditions create a present obligation, as the government retains the right to verify how the funds are used and may require repayment if the conditions are not fulfilled.

Environmental protection and resource management expenditures

These questions cover the capital and repair expenditures made by this organization in order to prevent, reduce or eliminate pollution and other forms of degradation of the environment while performing your production activity, i.e., within your organization.

Include:

  • expenditures that this specific operation incurred for pollution prevention, abatement and control; solid waste management; wastewater management; protection and remediation of soil, groundwater and surface water; protection and restoration of biodiversity and habitat; etc.
  • expenditures that this specific operation incurred for pollution prevention and abatement and control.
  • expenditures made for resource management activities which result in the more efficient use of natural resources, thus safeguarding against their depletion or the use of goods that have been adapted to be significantly less energy or resource intensive than the industry standard. 

Exclude:

  • expenditures made to improve employee health, workplace safety, and site beautification.
  • expenses incurred to produce pollution prevention or abatement and control equipment for sale since they are collected elsewhere in Statistics Canada.
  • expenditures for environment-related research and development since they are collected elsewhere in Statistics Canada.

Drivers and obstacles: Drivers or obstacles to the adoption of new or significantly improved clean technologies, systems or equipment for the establishment.

Disposal and sales of fixed assets

Selling price

The total value, or the sales of fixed assets which were disposed of or sold, even if traded in for credit in the acquisition or purchase of new fixed assets. When land and buildings are sold together, please report the selling price of the land separately, along with other land sales.

Gross book value

This value should represent total capital expenditures for an asset, at and since the time of original construction or purchase, including all subsequent capital expenditures for the purpose of modernization, expansion, etc. Any subsidies received should not be subtracted.

Age

Report the age of the fixed asset at the time of disposal.

If you have disposed of or sold similar fixed assets with different working ages, report these separately or combine the data and provide a weighted average age of these assets.

Assets Categories

The asset items and categories listed below are groupings of fixed assets generally having a  similar function which can apply to various industries.

Non-Residential Construction

Construction structures should be classified to an asset according to its principal use unless it is a multi-purpose structure where we would like you to separate the components. The cost of any machinery and equipment which is an integral or built-in feature of the structure (i.e. elevators, heating equipment, sprinkler systems, environmental controls, intercom systems, etc.) should be reported as part of that structure as well as landscaping, associated parking lots, etc.

Eh Sayers Episode 31 - Canada's Happiness Crisis (And Why It's Not All Doom and Gloom) - Transcript

Max: Welcome to Eh Sayers, a podcast by Statistics Canada, where we meet the people behind the data and explore the stories behind the numbers. I'm your host Max Zimmerman.

Have you ever randomly asked someone if they're happy in life? In preparing for this episode, I started doing just that. And let me tell you, it's a weird question to spring on people. People look at you a little funny and understandably so. It is a simple and harmless question on its surface, but it cuts deep at our personal feelings.

People rightly wanted to know why I was asking, and I had no good reason to tell them. But I'm not the only one that's asking about the life satisfaction of Canadians. The quality of life field is gaining momentum among researchers. And here at StatCan, my colleagues in the Quality of Life Statistics Program are telling a fascinating story about the current levels of wellbeing and life satisfaction being reported by Canadians.

Today I sat down with Jenneke Le Moullec, chief of the Quality of Life Statistics Program here at Statistics Canada, along with Danny Graham, who's the Chief Engagement Officer at Engage Nova Scotia, a Halifax based nonprofit dedicated to improving the quality of life, wellbeing, and resilience of all Nova Scotia residents.

I asked them what the latest data says about how happy we are. I also asked them to explain to a lay person like me, how we even measure life satisfaction when everyone must have a different definition of it. I also find out how their team's data is being used in the real world to improve our quality of life.

It's a good one. I hope you enjoy. Without further ado, here's our conversation.

Hi Jenneke, thanks for coming on the show. Can you set the stage for us, what are researchers like you and your team seeing in the quality of life, wellbeing and life satisfaction space these days?

Jenneke: Yeah, absolutely. Thanks very much, i'm, happy to be here. So we track the percentage of Canadians who report a high level of life satisfaction in this data reveals that life satisfaction continues to decline in Canada.

Max: Mm.

Jenneke: So although about half the Canadians do still report high life satisfaction, it's reported that actually between summer 2021 and spring 2025, life satisfaction decreased by an average of 2.2 percentage points per year. So that's quite notable actually. We found that close association with decline in life satisfaction and affordability as well. So in spring of 2025, Canadians who reported financial difficulty were actually about half as likely to report high life satisfaction as those without. So that's 28% versus 58%,, which is quite notable, I would say.

Max: Okay. Yeah. And these findings are significant, but I don't think they're gonna come as a surprise to a lot of Canadians because as I was hearing it, I was thinking this is sort of the lived experience of so many of us. And so I think that people are going to hear some of the stats that you're saying today and they're gonna think like, yeah, this pretty much checks out with how life has been feeling for me lately.

But Danny, I'd like to get you in here. Could you tell us what these topics mean to you? I mean, we're talking about quality of life, wellbeing, life satisfaction, happiness. These are all a bit subjective, and I was wondering just in terms of what these terms mean to you in the purposes of your work, and maybe personally as well.

Danny: There's a lot in there, but I'll give you a general overview perspective, and that is that it means something a little bit different to every single individual. And the experience of it is unique to whether or not you're unhoused or can put food on the table or whether or not you have all of the material goods, but you're lonely and you actually don't have the opportunity to actually have good relationships with people who are all around you. For me, thanks for the question. Oh, it's about a good relationship with myself, having good, strong relationships with those around me and actually being humbly part of, you know, the natural world, which is abundant. And if it were speaking back to us probably would saying we're not living up to our end of the bargain about what it means to live a strong and happy harmonious life in the ecosystem that we're in.

Max: Okay. And we've learned in this episode already that StatCan has been producing new data in this field, the quality of life field. And I'm wondering that's at the national level, what about the regional level for you at Engage Nova Scotia? Like what's the latest data saying that you're producing over there?

Danny: It started with a survey of Nova Scotians that was administered through an invitation in people's mailboxes to participate in a 230 question survey across eight domains of wellbeing that we can break down if you like, in terms of what each of them is pointing to. And we became quite excited by the volume and the stories that, and it's ultimately the stories that show up in the responses that we received from our 2019 dataset. So we received almost 13,000 responses to those 230 questions.

Max: Wow.

Danny: Yeah. Issues that are catching our attention the most that don't receive airtime relate to topics of social connections. So, trust loneliness, friendships are absolutely critical to people's wellbeing. And what also came out in our in the dataset that we assembled is that connections to the natural world are fundamental to our wellbeing and our sense of separation from that natural world is that is one of the most important drivers of declining life satisfaction, reduced mental health, and related issues.

Max: So Jenneke, we know how important it is to research these topics, obviously. And I'm curious exactly how it is that we measure them. 'cause concept like quality of life, wellbeing, life satisfaction, these things seem to me to be hard to track, or at least precisely because of how subjective they are. And I know you touched on that in the beginning you said that there's also some objective measures. But more specifically the subjective ones, like, I'm just curious how it is that we even measure them.

Jenneke: Yeah. So, subjective measures, absolutely. They're, they're really fascinating for, researchers and analysts like us trying to figure out how to measure them. Happiness is one of those key concepts, and that's one of the, the central ones in the quality of life framework. As I said, it reflects not only what people have, but how do they feel. So how do we measure that type of a thing? So one of the actually most widely ways that's used to measure this is through the life satisfaction question. So that question, it's fairly simple, but at the same time it's really powerful tool. So we ask people to rate how they feel about their life as a whole on a scale from zero to 10. So where zero is very dissatisfied and 10 means very satisfied. When we ask this question of enough people, we actually get a very accurate measure of overall happiness. So that's within a community, within a province and nationally. And interestingly, we're able to compare those changes over time as well.

Max: Cool. And what are some of the limitations in conducting this latest ICS study? Because, I mean, obviously subjectivity is one variable, but what are some other challenges that you ran into?

Jenneke: Certainly. So we know that measuring happiness isn't perfect. There's challenges that come with these sort of subjective measures.

You know, people interpret these types of questions differently. So this can be based on culture, personality or even what type of day they're having. You know, in the moment. So that's why we don't rely on that one measure at all, we combine it with other indicators. So going back to what I was saying about, you know, there's, there's 91 indicators in the framework, there's a lot of sort of interrelated pieces at play, and it's that holistic view, that helps us sort of get that picture.

Max: Yeah, that's really good to know because when I read the study I was thinking. If I'm measuring someone's happiness, like did they have their coffee this morning? You know, when they answered the question. I feel like you could ask someone these questions on any given day or any even hour of the day, and it could be a completely different answer. So yeah, it's, it's cool to know that.

And Danny, just from, from my layman perspective, I read the news and I hear about quality of life and stuff like that, and it's always centered around housing crisis, affordability, crisis. And of course all these economic, tangible things are incredibly important don't mean to diminish it at all, but like you said, connection to nature, connection to fellow human beings, that kind of thing is, it's not necessarily the most glamorous thing to report on, I suppose. So, yeah, I, I mean, I guess it gets missed a lot in the conversation.

And, something that I wanted to ask you about is like aside from just the fact that we're experiencing such a high cost of living these days, I mean, we're all feeling it. Is it just a matter of weathering this economic storm and then life is gonna go back to being, you know, wellbeing's gonna rise again, life satisfaction's gonna go up? Or, or is it more complicated? And I think, I think you just touched on that, but I don't know if you wanna elaborate any further?

Danny: Yeah, let me just, make sure that I'm clear on some of the points that you've made related to the things that hit the news. And you are absolutely right that, you know, good life is much more about just dollars and cents. And for some it is indeed about dollars and cents and having a roof over your head. So it's a really interesting thing where, there's a lot of talk about affordability. But those people, according to our research and data and, and what shows up in our tools that are most affected by affordability are people whose who aren't earning a living wage. So anybody earning a, from the mid forties thousands of dollars and below are struggling at such striking different levels than the rest of the population across all of the domains that we have. And indeed people who are insecurely housed, again, same issue. So much starts with good housing, especially for families being led by single parents, for example, who are often at intergenerational renters of property that don't get their, don't find their opportunity to get on the opportunity highway of a higher education and those sorts of things, which indeed, are additionally high leverage points for a good life. So are we gonna weather the storm and will it return to normal? It will depend on the choices that we make, frankly. And from our perspective, it will depend on whether or not we're asking the right questions. And so if we think that the only problem, and it is a challenge right now in Canada, is productivity and a healthy, strong, and even autonomous economy, those are important things. But, without attention to the lived experiences, particularly for communities of people who have been systemically and structurally barriered from the opportunities that are have been available to people like me for all of my life. Then we're not gonna actually catch up to these kinds of, the kinds of solutions that build more resilience, greater happiness and improved mental wellbeing for our young adults.

Max: Yeah, that's so well said. And I'm just taking that all in because it's so important to, you know, really produce high quality data on this stuff instead of it just being a concept. There's a feeling or a vibe, but to actually know that the work is being done, that there's a, like rising momentum from researchers and people are taking interest in this, it's just nice, it feels validating. And so, I guess that leads me to one of the things that I've been burning to ask you, which is if I were to ask for Danny Graham's ideal plan, what do you think is the most urgent or maybe a few of the most pressing matters that we could or are doing to improve quality of life for Canadians?

Danny: Whew. So we can't fix a problem that we don't understand. And I wanna say while we at Engage have done what we consider to be a groundbreaking job of measuring what's what are the perceptions, experiences, and behaviors of our citizens. And created that three dimensional, full suite of data. We have mined it, we've looked at it and there are themes. This notion of social connections, number quality of friendships, experiences of loneliness, experiences of discrimination, trust in each other, hugely important. The populations of people who we should be paying attention to extensively are young adults, families being led by single parents, people who identify as being part of the 2SLBGTQIA+ community, indigenous and other racialized communities of people who are experiencing this and have been for a longer period of time more profoundly than others. So those are the, those are the communities of people we need to be paying particular attention to.

And then the other thing is just sort of time adequacy and slowing down and being in connection with nature. And that might sound like fluffy stuff to some of your listeners about it. But, the research simply shows that the more time we spend in nature, being respectful of and connected to the natural world, the more we're able to act in a way that serves us and serves the other humans who are in our communities on a consistent basis.

So, no prescriptions yet I could be dead wrong on what the highest and best priorities are right away. But let me point finally to the, to the big idea, and it is this. From our perspective at Engage Nova Scotia. I don't think we're going to get to where we need to be in our understanding without two things: One, more robust, three-dimensional, ambitious measuring of how Canadians are really doing. And that involves large surveys, large samples. We need to get there. And then frankly, once we're confident about how to apply artificial intelligence in a safe methodologically sound way to our understanding of things, we, we will not get to the level of understanding that we need to build healthier, stronger societies without those two things happening. More robust, substantial wellbeing measurement, and strong tools that quickly give us insights that don't otherwise exist.

Max: From my perspective on the outside looking in, the thoughtfulness that goes into these decisions and just the way that you talk about it in general is, is really encouraging to me. It's, it's, it's nice to know that the organizations like Statistics Canada, like Engage Nova Scotia, are really taking a measured, thoughtful approach to how they're measuring the data and what they're gonna be using the data for. And it's not just... it's not just collecting data and disseminating it for the sake of it, it's, it's really meant to be useful to Canadians in a way that is, is profound. And so it's just awesome to hear.

And where does Canada sit in all this compared to the rest of the world? Are these trends that we're seeing now more pronounced in Canada?

Jenneke: These findings and sort of what we've been talking about today, they align with observations that we saw in the 2024 World Happiness Report, , where unfortunately, younger adults were fairing worse in Canada relative to other countries, with Canada actually ranking 58th among participating countries for happiness of those under 30 years old.

Max: Okay.

Jenneke: This compares to eighth place amongst adults that are older. So age 60 and above. And this report, the 2024 World Happiness Report, it's published by the Wellbeing Research Center and the University of Oxford in partnership with Gallup, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and also an independent editorial board.

Max: We know that there are areas of concern, but it's also encouraging to me to know that StatCan is producing data on this and that they're taking interest in these trends. Do you have any positive news for us on these fronts as well?

Jenneke: Yeah, I do actually. So the biggest story I would say here isn't just about challenges, it's actually about progress as well.

So Canada's quality of life framework, it's now reaching a major milestone, with its 91 indicators that have been fully defined, and then data available for the vast majority of these. So this means that researchers, policymakers, analysts, they have a much richer evidence base to understand wellbeing in all of its dimensions I had mentioned before. So prosperity, to health, society, good governance and the environment. And this matters, it matters because clear consistent indicators and quality of data are the foundation for meaningful action. They help us move from these broad concepts such as quality of life, wellbeing, happiness to concrete insights and help us understand sort of where Canadians are thriving and where more support might be needed. It helps transform these big picture ideas into things that are concrete, and can help with real improvements.

Max: And Danny, why is it so important for organizations like Statistics Canada and Engage Nova Scotia to collaborate in tackling these challenges, like the issues of quality of life?

Danny: I can remember just how I felt in my one and only stats class when I did an undergrad, degree, is that you think of statistics as dry, boring data. And too often it is that. But if you collect it in a way that animates the stories, again, the perceptions, experiences, and behaviors of everyone. Then it is the, the ultimate public engagement exercise. It's surfacing the soul of our communities. And there are ways now to express that soul and to do things that are impactful. But it's not gonna be just Engage Nova Scotia and Statistics Canada and any other government departments by themselves. I often share this troubling data point about life satisfaction for young adults in, in Canada, having dropped over 15 years more than any other of 130 countries that were also being measured other than Afghanistan, Venezuela, Jordan, and Lebanon.

We are truly in a crisis about life satisfaction amongst young Canadians. If for no other reason than to begin to understand what's causing that? And stop the guessing, somebody's gonna quickly say affordability, pandemic, social media, climate anxiety, and they may be all partially true, but we have no means of understanding why that's happening. And if we're not more ambitious about really digging into how to measure, understand, and activate solutions to that, then we will remain not just flatfooted, but on our heels.

Max: Finally, Danny, I just wanted to ask you, are there any misconceptions that you can think of in the quality of life space that you would want Canadians to know?

Danny: Yeah, I, I think that a misperception is that it has an agenda underneath it. And there is no agenda. The agenda includes, overarching, healthy, stronger, more vibrant, inclusive societies. It's about a stronger economy that gives us greater sovereignty and self-determination. It's about good relationships with everyone.

So, there's no particular agenda that's, that's social economic or environmental. It is. Common sense as somebody described to me at Simon Fraser not too long ago. It should be plainly obvious to us that leaning into surveys and understanding about how are we really doing? If it's good and reliable data, is the most important first step for us to sort of address the problems that we're having, difficulty understanding. So, as the the back of my business, my new business card says in our case here in Nova Scotia. If you share your story, take the survey, you'll be seeding a future that's better for everyone in our province, and eventually we hope across Canada.

Max: If people would like to learn more about the quality of life space, wellbeing, life satisfaction, all the topics we talked about, and the work that you're doing at Engage Nova Scotia, where could they go?

Danny: EngageNovascotia.ca would be one. Canadian Index of Wellbeing would be another. Canadian Wellbeing Knowledges network would be another. Obviously, the Statistics Canada quality of life hub. The O-E-C-D-W-I-S-E website is fantastic for this area. Yeah, or just reach out with an email, if they wanted to and explore, with us and me at Engage Nova Scotia, how this could be relevant for others in their community. So our independent board of directors is paying attention to in their excitement about what we're doing in Nova Scotia.

The implied responsibility that we think we have to sort of help others who are interested to advance wellbeing in a thoughtful, deep way like us. So if folks have an interest then just reach out to me or others on our team at Engage Nova Scotia to start a conversation.

Max: Well, Danny, thank you so much. It's been a fascinating conversation. I know I've learned a bunch and I hope that the listeners have as well. So thanks for your time and your expertise.

Danny: Thanks Max. All the best.

Max: And Jenneke, if people would like to learn more about quality of life, wellbeing, life satisfaction, these topics, where could they go?

Jenneke: Yeah, so the Quality of Life framework, the data for it, the Quality of Life Statistics program is available on the Statistics Canada website actually. So that's actually something that's really cool about the program is that the information, the data are available for all decision makers and Canadians alike. The website is really a one-stop shop for all the data. So users can explore national and provincial breakdowns, time trends, demographic insights.

The hub also includes interactive dashboards, downloadable data, and visualizations that make it easy to compare indicators across regions, and then also track changes over time.

Max: Amazing. Well, thank you so much. Thank you for your time and your expertise.

Jenneke: Great. Thank you.

Max: You've been listening to Eh Sayers.

2025 Annual Oil and Gas Extraction Survey

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey is conducted by Statistics Canada in order to collect the necessary information to support the Integrated Business Statistics Program (IBSP). This program combines various survey and administrative data to develop comprehensive measures of the Canadian economy.

The statistical information from the IBSP serves many purposes, including:

  • Obtaining information on the supply of and/or demand for energy in Canada
  • Enabling governmental agencies to fulfill their regulatory responsibilities in regards to public utilities
  • Enabling all levels of government to establish informed policies in the energy area
  • Assisting the business community in the corporate decision-making process.

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 the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data 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.

4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The 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 classes; 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.
