Authority to Collect Data

The information requested in this survey is collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S19. This survey is mandatory in accordance with the Statistics Act.

This data collection is the only source of national level information on full-time teaching staff in Canadian public degree granting institutions, and is used by a variety of federal, provincial, and international organizations and governments, postsecondary institutions and individual researchers.

Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from publishing any statistics which would divulge information obtained from this data collection that relates to any identifiable individual. Furthermore, the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act are not affected by either the Access to Information Act or any other legislation. Additionally, institution level data from this data collection will only be published and made available to the public, if written permission is provided to Statistics Canada in the form of a signed authorization form from the participating institution.

Coverage

Data should be submitted for all full-time teaching staff employed in public or private degree granting institutions that receive funding from a provincial or territorial ministry of education as of October 1 of the reporting year. The affiliates and other related colleges of these institutions may be reported by the parent institution or independently. As well, please include full-time research staff who have an academic rank and a salary scale similar to teaching staff.

This data collection includes full-time teaching staff that spend the majority of their teaching time on credit courses leading to degree programs (as opposed to continuing education courses, special interest courses or courses in a program that do not lead to a degree).

Full-time include:

1. Staff appointed on a full-time basis whose term of appointment is not less than twelve months (include any staff member on leave).
2. New appointees hired on a full-time basis whose term of contract is twelve months but for the first year he/she can only be at the institution for less than twelve months.
3. Staff who were appointed to teach full-time (12 months or more) and at a later date have entered into a formal agreement with the institution to work on a reduced load basis. This situation usually arises with staff members who are approaching retirement.

Teaching staff included in the survey:

1. All academic staff within faculties (colleges, schools, etc.) who are full-time teachers, researchers (meeting the above criteria), and/or senior academic staff, i.e., deans, chairperson, directors etc.
2. All full-time teachers within faculties, whether or not they hold an academic rank.
3. Full-time academic staff in teaching hospitals (see element 25 for details).
4. Visiting full-time academic staff in faculties.
5. Full-time research staff that have an academic rank and a salary scale similar to teaching staff.

Staff excluded from this survey:

1. Administrators solely responsible for university administration, i.e., president, vice-president, registrar, comptroller, etc.
2. Administrative assistants within faculties (colleges, schools, etc.).
3. Librarians.
4. Non-academic support staff both in faculties (college, school, etc.) and other university departments.
5. Markers, demonstrators, lab assistants, etc.
6. Graduate teaching assistants.
7. Postdoctoral fellows.
8. Academic staff within faculties (colleges, schools, etc.) who have been hired as researchers without academic rank and/or whose salary scales are different from teaching staff.

Reporting Options

Statistics Canada provides the institutions with an "Edit Checker" (tool) that includes their previous year's data for each teaching staff member, for updating. The data elements will be arranged in the same order as the record layout. Once the current year's data has been loaded in this tool, it runs a number of preliminary edits on the data that will prompt the institution to address common reporting issues.

Updating Instructions:

Returning teaching staff: any data elements that changed since the last survey are to be updated. Elements that typically change from year to year are: actual salary, annual rate of salary, administrative stipends, senior administrative responsibilities, researchers and visitors' code, reduced load, number of months on sabbatical leave, and number of months on unpaid leave during the current academic year. Elements that change less frequently include: level of highest earned degree, year of highest earned degree, province/country of highest degree, rank, year of appointment to present rank at current institution and principal subject taught.

New teaching staff: Institutions are required to provide all data elements for each new teaching staff reported.

Non–returning staff: Please delete the record.

While it is preferred that the “Edit Checker” tool is used, institutions can also send Statistics Canada the individual data for each full-time teaching staff member in an EXCEL format. Please use the codes provided in this Data Element Manual and list the data elements in the order they appear in the record layout on page 6.

In order to ensure the confidentiality of data during transmission, Statistics Canada requires that all information is sent through their "Electronic File Transfer System". Information on sending and receiving files through this secure internet-based service is included in the annual request for information or can be obtained by contacting the UCASS team.

Reporting Date

Most data elements in this survey are to be reported as of October 1 (a "snap shot" of the survey). However, the following data elements are not conceptually a snapshot and are reported on a 12 month basis: Number of months on sabbatical leave, Number of months on unpaid leave, Reduced load, and Actual salary.

General Information

Purpose

The Biennial Drinking Water Plants Survey is conducted to provide Canadians with national and regional information related to the production of drinking water.

Additional information

This survey collects information on the quantity of water processed by plants that draw raw water from the environment to produce potable water. The plants in the survey range from ones that use complex treatment processes for surface water to ones that use minimal treatment for groundwater. This data will be used to track the state of water supply and demand on a regional basis in Canada and to develop environmental accounts.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

NOTE: This document was created for information only. To see the actual questionnaire, please refer to the PDF version.

Water Treatment Processes

Question 16 help text

Drinking water plants can vary widely in configuration and design. In order to group these systems to aggregate national/regional data the categories of treatment are based on the main treatment processes applied to drinking water in order to categorize systems by common treatment methods i.e., conventional and direct filtration. The categories identify systems that use one type of filtration process, or a combination of filtration processes, or unfiltered systems that only disinfect and systems that disinfect and apply other non-filtration processes. These groups are described below.

a. Conventional treatment

The conventional filtration process generally includes chemical mixing, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation (or dissolved air flotation) and rapid granular filtration (granular media, single, dual or triple media). Granular activated carbon (GAC) can also be used as filter media.

The category "conventional treatment" can also include sand ballasted and integrated systems that apply processes of coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation (with granular media filtration). Conventional treatment can include Biofiltration, which typically are rapid-rate filters in conventional treatment plants which have developed a biofilm capable of degrading organic matter.

Includes any disinfection system: Chlorination (hypochlorites or chlorine gas), chlorine dioxide, chloramination, uv-irradation, ozonation (at least one is applied for primary and/or secondary disinfection).

b. Direct filtration

The direct filtration process includes coagulation and flocculation; however, no sedimentation or flotation is used, and flocculated water proceeds directly to rapid granular filtration (granular media, single, dual or triple media). Granular activated carbon (GAC) can also be used as filter media.

Direct filtration includes "in-line" or "contact filtration" with minimal or no flocculation. Direct filtration can include Biofiltration if filters used in direct filtration plants have developed a biofilm capable of degrading organic matter.

Includes any disinfection system: Chlorination (hypochlorites or chlorine gas), chlorine dioxide, chloramination, uv-irradation, ozonation (at least one is applied for primary and/or secondary disinfection).

c. Granular media filtration (granular media, single, dual or triple media) - without coagulation

The most common types of media used in granular bed filters are silica sand anthracite coal, used alone or in dual-media combination; an additional layer of garnet or ilmenite sometimes is used in a triple-media configuration. Granular activated carbon (GAC) can also be used as filter media, sometimes for taste and odour reduction in granular beds that serve both for filtration and adsorption.

Granular media filtration can include Biofiltration if granular media filtration (without coagulation) have developed a biofilm capable of degrading organic matter.

Includes any disinfection system: Chlorination (hypochlorites or chlorine gas), chlorine dioxide, chloramination, uv-irradation, ozonation (at least one is applied for primary and/or secondary disinfection).

Note: Granular media does not imply media such as glauconite (greensand filtration) which is an ion-exchange process. Excludes chemically assisted filtration (coagulation), otherwise would be Conventional or Direct filtration.

d. Membrane filtration (only membrane type systems used)

Any of the following membrane treatment processes:

• Reverse osmosis: a high-pressure membrane process originally developed to remove salts from brackish water. The reverse osmosis process is based on diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane as a result of a concentration gradient. Reverse osmosis membranes are considered to be non-porous and are used to remove dissolved solids, such as sodium, chloride and nitrate, from water.
• Nano-filtration: a low-pressure reverse osmosis process for the removal of larger cations (e.g., calcium and magnesium ions) and organic molecules. Nano-filtration membranes are also typically considered non-porous and are reported to reject particles in the size range of 0.5-2 nm.
• Ultrafiltration: a lower-pressure membrane process characterized by a wide band of molecular weight cut-off and pore sizes for the removal of small colloids, particulates and in some cases viruses. Ultrafiltration membranes typically have a pore size range of 0.01-0.1 µm.
• Microfiltration: a low operating pressure membrane process used to remove particulates, sediment, algae, protozoa and bacteria. Microfiltration membranes typically have a pore size range of 0.1-10 µm.

Includes any disinfection system: Chlorination (hypochlorites or chlorine gas), chlorine dioxide, chloramination, uv-irradation, ozonation (at least one is applied for primary and/or secondary disinfection).

e. Membrane filtration with other filtration systems

Any of the following membrane treatment processes combined with other filtration such as granular media (single, dual or triple media) or slow sand or cartridge/bag.

• Reverse osmosis: a high-pressure membrane process originally developed to remove salts from brackish water. The reverse osmosis process is based on diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane as a result of a concentration gradient. Reverse osmosis membranes are considered to be non-porous and are used to remove dissolved solids, such as sodium, chloride and nitrate, from water.
• Nano-filtration: a low-pressure reverse osmosis process for the removal of larger cations (e.g., calcium and magnesium ions) and organic molecules. Nano-filtration membranes are also typically considered non-porous and are reported to reject particles in the size range of 0.5-2 nm.
• Ultrafiltration: a lower-pressure membrane process characterized by a wide band of molecular weight cut-off and pore sizes for the removal of small colloids, particulates and, in some cases, viruses. Ultrafiltration membranes typically have a pore size range of 0.01-0.1 µm.
• Microfiltration: a low operating pressure membrane process used to remove particulates, sediment, algae, protozoa and bacteria. Microfiltration membranes typically have a pore size range of 0.1-10 µm.

Includes any disinfection system: Chlorination (hypochlorites or chlorine gas), chlorine dioxide, chloramination, uv-irradation, ozonation (at least one is applied for primary and/or secondary disinfection).

f. Other filtration systems

Either cartridge or bag filter or slow sand filtration. Can also be a combination of Cartridge/bag filter or slow sand with Granular media filtration (single, dual or triple media).

• Cartridge or bag filter: bag filtration and cartridge filtration are considered to be pressure-driven physical separation processes that remove particles greater than 1 µm using a porous filtration medium. Bag filters are typically constructed of a woven bag or fabric filtration medium that is placed in a pressure vessel. As water flows from the inside of the bag to the outside, contaminants are filtered out of the water. Cartridge filters are typically made of a semi-rigid or rigid wound filament that is housed in a pressure vessel in which water flows from the outside of the cartridge to the inside. Systems can be constructed with either single or multiple filters within one pressure vessel.

• Slow sand filtration: the slow sand filtration process generally consists of untreated water slowly flowing by gravity through a bed of submerged porous sand. The hydraulic loading rates are much lower for typical slow sand filters than for rapid granular filtration and range between 0.05 and 0.4m/h. In slow sand filtration, filter effectiveness depends on the formation of schmutzdecke, a layer of bacteria, algae and other microorganisms on the surface of the sand, and the formation of a biological population (biopopulation) within the sand bed.

• Granular media filtration: granular media, (single, dual or triple media) with other non-membrane filtration systems such as slow sand or cartridge/bag. Excludes chemically assisted filtration (coagulation), otherwise would be Conventional or Direct filtration.

• Includes any disinfection system: Chlorination (hypochlorites or chlorine gas), chlorine dioxide, chloramination, uv-irradation, ozonation (at least one is applied for primary and/or secondary disinfection).

g. Disinfection only

Includes any disinfection system: Chlorination (hypochlorites or chlorine gas), chlorine dioxide, chloramination, uv-irradation, ozonation (at least one is applied for primary and/or secondary disinfection.

Primary and secondary disinfection:

• Primary disinfection is the application of a disinfectant in the drinking water treatment plant, with a primary objective to achieve the necessary microbial inactivation.
• Secondary disinfection may be applied to the treated water as it leaves the treatment plant or at rechlorination points throughout the distribution system, to introduce and maintain a chlorine residual in the drinking water distribution system.

h. Disinfection with other chemical addition-treatment (unfiltered systems)

Includes the unit processes (at least one disinfection system) with any other chemical addition-treatment or non-filtration processes (e.g., greensand which is an ion-exchange process). Excludes the unit processes (all membrane or non-membrane filtration processes).

Note: media such as glauconite (greensand filtration) is an ion-exchange process (and is considered a non-filtration process).

i. No treatment

Source (raw) water is conveyed to user without treatment.

j. No disinfection with other treatment

Systems that apply treatment processes without primary and/or secondary disinfection. Excludes any disinfection system: Chlorination (hypochlorites or chlorine gas), chlorine dioxide, chloramination, uv-irradation, ozonation (at least one is applied for primary and/or secondary disinfection or both).

Annex - List of Unit Processes

However, the impact of tariffs is embedded in data collected across multiple statistical programs which is used to calculate estimates like the Consumer Price Index, various producer price indexes, retail and manufacturing sales and key macroeconomic indicators, including the balance of payments, gross domestic product, supply and use tables, and government finances.

Why are we conducting this survey?

The purpose of this survey is to produce statistics on stocks of butter and cheese held in cold storage warehouses.

The data are used by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the Canadian Dairy Commission, provincial governments and the Dairy Farmers of Canada to assist in the development, administration and evaluation of agricultural policies.

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.

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).

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.

[Assigned NAICS]

• This is not the current main activity
  • Provide a brief but precise description of this business or organization's main activity

Definitions and explanations

Glossary:

Non-hazardous waste (garbage):
Included in this category are materials, products or by-products for which the waste generator has no further use and which are received for disposal at waste disposal facilities or for processing at a waste processing facility.

Residential waste:
Residential waste refers to waste from primary and seasonal dwellings, which includes all single family, multi-family, high-rise and low-rise residences.

It includes:

• the waste picked up by the municipality, (either using its own staff, or through contracted companies)
• the waste from residential sources which is self-hauled to depots, transfer stations and landfills.

Construction, renovation and demolition waste (CR&D):
CR&D waste, also referred to as DLC (demolition, land clearing and construction waste), refers to waste generated by construction, renovation and demolition activities. It generally includes materials such as brick, painted wood, drywall, metal, cardboard, doors, windows, wiring. It excludes materials from land clearing on areas not previously developed. CR&D waste can come from residential sources such as house renovations or from non-residential sources for example the construction or demolition of office buildings.

Hazardous waste:
Includes materials or substances that given their corrosive, inflammable, infectious, reactive and toxic characteristics, may present a real or potential harm to human health or the environment. Due to their hazardous nature they require special handling, storing, transportation, treatment and disposal as specified by the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (1985), The Canadian Environmental Protection Act (1988), The Basel Convention (1989), or the Export and Import of Hazardous Waste Regulations (1992).

Industrial, commercial and institutional (IC&I) waste, non-residential:
IC&I waste is the waste generated by all non-residential sources in a municipality, and is excluded from the residential waste stream. This includes:

• industrial waste, which is generated by manufacturing, and primary and secondary industries, and is managed off-site from the manufacturing operation. It is generally picked up under contract by the private sector
• commercial waste is generated by commercial operations such as shopping centres, offices, etc. Some commercial waste (e.g., from small street-front stores) may be picked up by the municipal collection system along with the residential waste
• institutional waste is generated by institutional facilities such as schools, hospitals, government facilities, senior homes, universities, etc. This waste is generally picked up under contract with the private sector.

Organic material collection, non-residential:

8. In 20xx, was waste in this jurisdiction collected or transported by this jurisdiction's employees to a landfill, incinerator or energy from waste facility, residual waste processor or a transfer station?

Definitions and explanations

Glossary

Energy from waste (EFW):
EFW refers to any waste treatment that creates energy in the form of electricity or heat from a waste source. Most EFW processes produce electricity directly through combustion, or produce a combustible fuel commodity, such as methane, methanol, ethanol or synthetic fuels.

Incineration/thermal treatment:
Incineration, in the context of waste, refers to the burning of waste. Incineration of waste materials converts the waste into incinerator bottom ash, flue gases, particulates, and heat, which can in turn be used to generate electric power. Most jurisdictions in Canada consider incineration to be disposal.

Landfill:
A site, on land, that is used primarily for the disposal of waste materials. The contents of landfills can include garbage which is not processed, and also residual material from processing operations (e.g., MRF residues, incinerator ash, organic processing residues).

Residual waste processing (non-hazardous):
An operation in which the physical or chemical properties of non-recyclable or compostable wastes are changed to reduce size and/or volume. Examples of waste processing are shredding, compaction & transformation.

Transfer station (non-hazardous):
A facility at which wastes transported by vehicles involved in collection are transferred to other vehicles that will transport the wastes to a disposal (landfill or incinerator) or recycling facility.

Definitions and explanations

Glossary:

Processing residue:
The portion of the materials that is deemed non-marketable after processing due to breakage, transportation or processing limitations. The residue produced at the facility as a result of the processing of acceptable waste is not for beneficial use.

Estimating sources of waste (garbage), recyclables and organic materials:
It is acknowledged that it is often very difficult to track the quantities of waste and recyclable materials by source unless the business or local government collects or prepares materials from only one source (e.g., a firm that collects waste only from IC&I sources).

In this survey, you are being asked to estimate the proportion of materials by source of material at three points (if applicable and known): at the facility where organic material is processed, at the facility where recyclables are prepared and at disposal. If you engage in one or more of these activities, you will be asked to estimate the proportion of waste, recyclable or organic materials from residential, non-residential and construction and demolition sources. While it is recognized that such estimates may be difficult to make, you are asked to be as accurate as possible.

Sources of materials:
Refers to the sources of generation of the waste or recyclable material. These sources are classified as residential, industrial, commercial and institutional (IC&I) and construction, renovation and demolition (CR&D). It is sometimes difficult to ascertain the source of a given material because of lack of tracking or complex collection arrangements (e.g., when collection is contracted out or when collection vehicles pick up materials from a mix of sources on their routes).

Food waste:
Includes food wastes and food scraps from households and non-residential sources such as grocery stores, restaurants, etc., destined for composting or anaerobic digestion.

Source separated organic materials (SSO):
Source separation of organics is the setting aside of organic waste materials at their point of generation (the home, office, or other place of business) by the generator. Examples of SSO materials are food scraps, soiled paper packaging such as ice cream boxes, muffin paper, flour and sugar bags, paper coffee cups and paper plates.

Leaf and yard waste:
Includes any waste collected from a yard or garden such as leaves, grass clippings, plants, tree trimmings and branches.

Forestry waste:
The debris or leftover waste from the management of forests. This would include trees, stumps, branches, etc., that were discarded.

Wood waste:
The primary constituents of wood waste are used lumber, trim, trees, branches, and other wood debris from construction and demolition clearing and grubbing activities. It includes: dimensional lumber, plywood, particle board and fibre board, crating, wood fencing, pressure treated lumber, wood shingles, wooden doors, creosoted wood products, demolition wood waste, painted wood.

Agricultural waste:
All waste materials produced as a result of agricultural activities, including, for example, residues from the application of pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and other chemicals, wastewater, bedding material, etc.

Biosolids:
Includes solid or semisolid material obtained from treated wastewater.

Include all quantities of food waste, materials from source separated organics programs (SSO), leaf and yard waste as well as Christmas trees and pumpkins.

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. 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 and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations.

Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

Chief Statistician of Canada
Statistics Canada
Attention of Director, Enterprise Statistics Division
150 Tunney's Pasture Driveway
