Definitions

Legal Name

The legal name is one recognized by law, thus it is the name liable for pursuit or for debts incurred by the business or organization. In the case of a corporation, it is the legal name as fixed by its charter or the statute by which the corporation was created.

Modifications to the legal name should only be done to correct a spelling error or typo.

To indicate a legal name of another legal entity you should instead indicate it in question 3 by selecting 'Not currently operational' and then choosing the applicable reason and providing the legal name of this other entity along with any other requested information.

Operating Name

The operating name is a name the business or organization is commonly known as if different from its legal name. The operating name is synonymous with trade name.

Current main activity of the business or organization

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 unit(s) targeted by this questionnaire only, 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.

Question 5

Total cultivated area

Include producing and non-producing area.
Include cultivated area owned or rented from others. Rented land includes all land used but not owned by a farm operator regardless whether money changes hands or not.
Exclude land rented to others.

Non-producing area is cultivated area, in which trees, bushes or plants, during the specified growing season, did not or will not produce any fruits or vegetables. These trees, bushes or plants may be too old or too immature to produce fruits or vegetables, for example, apples, blueberries or asparagus.
Include the area of non-producing trees and bushes in the total cultivated area but not in the harvested area figures.

Total production: total production is the total harvested production.
Include production intended for sales for both the fresh and processing markets. Part of the total production could be kept in storage to be sold at a later date or could become spoiled before being sold.

Guidelines for reporting

The following guidelines are to be used when reporting small area. If your area is less than 1 acre, 1 hectare or 1 arpent, round your answer to the nearest 1/100th unit. If less than 1/100, then entre 0.01.

If you know the dimension of your field in number of rows, you could use the following calculation method:

Example: 25 rows of carrots

1 row = 100 feet x 2 feet
25 rows x 100 feet x 2 feet = 5,000 square feet.

Using the bullets below, convert the 5,000 square feet area in acres, hectares or arpents.

Area conversion for land measure:

• 1 acre is equivalent to 0.4 hectares, 1.18 arpents or 43,560 square feet
• 1 hectare is equivalent to 2.47 acres, 2.92 arpents or 107,593 square feet
• 1 arpent is equivalent to 0.85 acres, 0.34 hectares or 37,026 square feet.

Weight conversions:

• 1 ounce is equivalent to 28.35 grams
• 1 pound is equivalent to 0.45 kilogram
• 1 gram is equivalent to 0.035 ounce
• 1 kilogram is equivalent to 2.204 lbs
• 1 imperial ton is equivalent to 2,000 pounds or 907 kilograms
• 1 metric tonne is equivalent to 2,204 pounds or 1,000 kilograms
• 1 bushel of apples is equivalent to 42 or 40 pounds or 19 or 18 kilograms
• 1 bushel of other fruit from trees is equivalent to 50 pounds or 23 kilograms
• 1 pint of blueberries is equivalent to 0.875 pounds or 0.396 kilograms
• 1 quart of strawberries or raspberries is equivalent to 1.25 pounds or 0.567 kilograms
• 1 dozen of field cucumbers is equivalent to 13 pounds or 5.9 kilograms
• 1 dozen cobs of corn is equivalent to 6 pounds or 2.72 kilograms
• 1 bag or sack of sweet corn (6 dozen) is equivalent to 36 pounds or 16.33 kilograms
• 1 dozen heads of lettuce is equivalent to 15 pounds or 6.8 kilograms
• 1 box of broccoli is equivalent to 25 pounds or 11.3 kilograms
• 1 box of cauliflower is equivalent to 30 pounds or 13.6 kilograms.

Double cropping

Double or triple cropping occurs when two or more crops are grown on the same area of land during a single growing season. For example, a farmer may have 20 acres of carrots and then grows 20 acres of broccoli. You would enter 20 acres of carrots and 20 acres of broccoli. This would be the approach for 2 different vegetables growing on the same area.

Question 6

Sales to the fresh market

Include sales to fresh market from the farm, U-pick system, open-air and farmers' market, retailers, packers, brokers, door-to-door and fruits baskets deliveries.

Exclude:

• sales to processors. Sales to processors will be asked about later in the questionnaire.
• production in storage. All production in storage not sold yet will be reported later in the questionnaire.
• fruits for personal consumption.

For any fruits sold to cooperatives, packers, or wholesalers, please provide your best estimates of quantity sold and value for fresh market.

End use of produce unknown

If you don't know if the fruits are intended (fresh or processing market), report the area as "for the fresh market". Enter the entire production and quantity sold under fresh market.

Inventory in storage

Questions 9 to 11 will ask you to report apples inventory in storage.

Wineries

Wineries are included in this survey.
To avoid the possibility of double counting, exclude all grapes imported or purchased from other producers.

All vinifera and French hybrid grapes are for the processing market. For vinifera grapes to be sold as "fresh", they must be sold to consumers directly. If these grapes are sold fresh to a winery, please report to question 7 on processing market. For wine produced, please estimate the value of harvested grapes and not value of wine bottles.

Total value received

For the question pertaining to revenues, we are interested in gross receipts or revenues and gross sales not net sales or net revenues. For the question on total value received, please report the value received after deductions such as marketing board fees. Include any bonuses or premiums that were paid.

Question 7

Sales to the processing market

Include sales for processing, canning, pickling, freezing and for juice. This includes products like frozen fruits, jams, fruit pies, apple cider, apple butter, etc. |
Cleaning, preparing for packing and bagging of fruits is not considered "processing".

End use of produce unknown

Question 10

Inventory in storage

Since the amount of production sold to the fresh market and the processed market is less than the total apples production, then a new set of inventory questions is being asked for storable commodities.

Total value uncertain

At question 11, if you are unsure of the total value or haven't yet received payment for your crop, please estimate the price to be received and multiply this price by the total quantity in storage (fresh or process).

Question 12

Total cultivated area

Include producing and non-producing area.
Include cultivated area owned or rented from others. Rented land includes all land used but not owned by a farm operator regardless whether money changes hands or not.
Exclude land rented to others.

Non-producing area is cultivated area, in which trees, bushes or plants, during the specified growing season, did not or will not produce any fruits or vegetables. These trees, bushes or plants may be too old or too immature to produce fruits or vegetables, for example, apples, blueberries or asparagus.

A-KIR Definitions

Actual-in counts: All persons held in custody under sentence, on remand, or who are otherwise legally required to be at a custody facility and who are present at the time the count is taken.

Average Daily Counts: The average number of persons supervised under a specified program on a daily basis.

Monthly average daily count calculation: The data for monthly average daily counts are calculated by dividing the total days stay (or total "bed" days) for all correctional institutions within the jurisdiction by the number of days in the month.

Month-end counts: This data should be derived from month-end counts of offenders under supervision.

Custody

Remand only: Remand includes those persons in custody on a REMAND Warrant of Committal ONLY who are awaiting a further court appearance (i.e. pure remand average counts), and are NOT presently serving a sentence or being held on another "hold" status.

Sentenced custody only: Offenders who are sentenced to an aggregate term of imprisonment under a Warrant of Committal ONLY, and NOT presently held on another "hold" status.

Other-temporary detention: adults who are being held in provincial/territorial correctional institutions for lock-ups, parole violations or suspensions, immigration holds, and those who are temporarily detained without warrants of any type.

Lock-up: a short period of custody spent in jail (since no cell is available in police station), while waiting to be released, usually to see a Justice of the Peace.

Dual status Remand and Sentenced custody: includes all inmates held on a Provincial/Territorial sentenced Warrant of Committal and a Remand Warrant of Committal.

Dual status Sentenced custody and Other-temporary detention: includes all inmates held on a Provincial/Territorial sentenced Warrant of Committal and those held in other/temporary detention.

Non-sentenced dual status Remand and Other-temporary detention: includes all inmates held on a REMAND Warrant of Committal and on an Other / Temporary Detention.

Federal: Offenders under federal responsibility, held in a provincial/territorial facility through an Exchange of Service Agreement (ESA).

Community

Supervised probation : includes all adults who must, as a condition of a probation order, report to and be under the supervision of a probation officer or other person designated by the court ONLY, and are NOT presently serving a conditional sentence or parole.

Conditional sentence: includes all offenders serving a conditional sentence ONLY, and are NOT presently serving supervised probation or parole. Allows offenders sentenced to a term of custody to serve their time in the community under supervision. Compulsory conditions can be attached to the sentence such as remaining within the jurisdiction of the court and reporting to a supervisor as specified. Other conditions may require the offender to abstain from the consumption of alcohol or to perform community work.

Provincial parole: includes all adults in Quebec and Ontario on Provincial Parole ONLY, and are NOT presently serving supervised probation or conditional sentence. Allows the offender to serve the remainder of the sentence in the community under supervision by a community parole officer. Possible after serving 1/3 of the sentence.

CKIR-Y Core Definitions

Introduction

This document is intended to assist aggregate data respondents in completing the standard data tables for the Corrections Key Indicator Report for Youth (CKIR-Y).

The development of National Data Requirements for any survey is vital to establishing a uniform set of concepts that are comparable across jurisdictions as well as over time. The application of uniform definitions and maintenance of comparable data is part of the mandate of the National Justice Statistics Initiative.

Survey respondents providing aggregate data should inform the CKIR-Y survey staff if they are unable to apply the core definitions to specific concepts (e.g., average counts) and to what extent their data differ from the core definitions. Highlighting these variances will allow the survey to notify data users if such differences exist, and will help to facilitate the development and application of uniform definitions as the survey evolves.

Survey Population

In general, the objective of the Corrections Key Indicator Report for Youth survey is to produce an unduplicated count of the number of young persons in custody as well as a count of the number of young persons actively supervised in community corrections programs.

Note: If your jurisdiction is unable to produce counts according to the rules that follow, please indicate how your counts deviate from them.

Custody Counts

The custody count is represented by the actual-In count.

• Includes all young persons inside the custody facility at the time the count is taken.
• Includes all young persons who are in custody and who are also under community supervision at the time the count is taken.
• Excludes young persons who are on-register, but not actually in a custody facility at the time of the count (e.g., Unlawfully At Large, in hospital, etc.).
• Legal Status counted is represented by the legal status at the time the count is taken rather than the time of admission.
• Multiple status In the event the young person has more than one status he/she should be counted as follows:
  • Count as sentenced any young person who is serving a sentence combined with any other status.
  • Count as pre-trial detention any young person who is on pre-trial detention combined with any other status except sentenced custody.

The CKIR-Y survey collects average actual-in count data for each month, which should be derived from the daily midnight counts. The Monthly average actual in count should be calculated as follows:

• Total all of the counts for the month divided by the number of days in the month. In order to report an average daily count for the year from the monthly average data, CCJS takes the sum of each monthly average count and divides by the number of months (12).
• In situations where a jurisdiction is able to only produce an average daily count for the year, total all of the midnight counts for the year and divide by the number of days in the year.
• If daily counts are not available for each day in the year, use the most frequent time interval available. For example, if average counts are only available for Monday to Friday, this would produce 260 time points and the sum of daily counts would be divided by 260.

Community Counts

The community count is represented by the active community supervision count for each program.

• Young persons actively supervised in more than one community program, are counted once for each program.
• Excluded are young persons who are in custody at the time of the count.
• Excluded are young persons who are under a supervision order, but for any one of a number of reasons are not actively supervised, (e.g., transfer of supervision, Unlawfully At Large, administrative termination).

The CKIR-Y survey collects month-end counts of persons in each program. To produce an annual figure, the CCJS calculates the month-end average count for the year.

• The month-end count is a point in time count, usually taken on or about the last calendar day of the month. The CCJS uses month-end counts to maintain continuity with traditional methods of counting the community caseload, which was usually done at month-end.
• Please indicate if your jurisdiction uses a different method of counting, such as average daily count.

Core Definitions

Actual-in counts: All young persons held in custody under sentence, on pre-trial detention, provincial director remand, or who are otherwise legally required to be at a custody facility and who are present at the time the count is taken.

Average Daily Counts: The average number of persons supervised under a specified program on a daily basis.
Age: Refers to the age of the young person at the time of the count.

Custody Portion: The custody portion of a custody sentence refers to the portion of the custody and supervision sentence which is served in custody.

Community Portion of a Custody Sentence: Under the YCJA, all youth custody and supervision sentences require a period of custody and community supervision as part of the sentence. The community portion of a custody sentence refers to the portion of the custody and supervision sentence which is served in the community.

Monthly average daily count calculation: The data for monthly average daily counts are calculated by dividing the total days stay (or total "bed" days) for all correctional institutions within the jurisdiction by the number of days in the month.

Month-end Community count: Data are an indication of the active community sentence caseload.

Open custody: A facility is considered "open" when there is minimal use of security devices or perimeter security. The extent to which facilities are "open" varies across jurisdictions. Open custody facilities include community residential centers, group homes, childcare institutions, forest or wilderness camps etc.

Pre-trial Detention: To hold a young person temporarily in custody, while awaiting trial or sentencing.

Provincial Director Remand: To hold a young person in custody following the breach of community supervision conditions pursuant to a warrant issued by the Provincial Director.

Reporting Period: The reference time period is from April 1^st to March 31^st.

Secure Custody: A facility is considered "secure" when young persons are detained by security devices, including those facilities which operate with full perimeter security features and/or where young persons are under constant observation. The extent to which facilities are "secure" varies across jurisdictions.

Sentenced counts: Includes all young persons in custody under a sentence Warrant of Committal, as well as those persons who have been sentenced on one charge but who are awaiting the completion of court hearings on another charge. Also includes young persons who have completed a custodial sentence and have been returned to custody following a breach of conditions.

Supervised probation: Includes all young persons who must, as a condition of a probation order "report to and be under the supervision of a probation officer or other person designated by the court". Unsupervised probation orders are excluded.

Young Person (YCJA)/Young Offender (YOA): A person who is twelve years of age or older, but less than eighteen years of age, at the time of committing an offence.

Definitions

Actual-in counts: All persons held in custody under sentence, on remand, on a temporary absence or who are otherwise legally required to be at a custody facility and who are present at the time the count is taken.

Average Daily Counts: The average number of persons supervised under a specified program on a daily basis.

Federal inmates in provincial institutions: The average daily count of federal offenders held by provincial/territorial correctional services through an Exchange of Service Agreement (ESA).

Long-Term Supervision: The Long Term Supervision Order extends the length of time that the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) can supervise and support certain sex offenders who would benefit from extended supervision in the community beyond the completion of his/her regular sentence. The Long Term Supervision Order provides another way of managing certain sex offenders in the community rather than through lifetime incarceration.

Monthly average daily count calculation: The data for monthly average daily counts are calculated by dividing the total days stay (or total "bed" days) for all correctional institutions within the jurisdiction by the number of days in the month.

Parole: Programs of conditional release from custody into the community under the authority of parole boards.

Provincial inmates in federal institutions: The average daily count of provincial/territorial offenders held by CSC through an Exchange of Service Agreement (ESA).

Statutory Release: Release of federal offenders into the community after serving two thirds of their sentence.

Temporary absence: Allows offenders to leave the institution for specific purposes. Offenders may be either "escorted" or "unescorted". Reasons for such releases are usually for family visits, medical services, rehabilitation programs, socialization or humanitarian reasons.

Status

This version of the Chart of Accounts was approved at Methods and Standards Committee in October 2005. It replaces the previous version, approved in April 2001.

The Chart of Accounts comprises a balance sheet, an income statement and selected other accounts. The balance sheet and income statement are referred to as the core accounts. The other accounts are referred to as supplementary accounts. The higher levels of the core accounts most classes up to and including the 4-digit level of detail, as well as selected classes at greater levels of detail constitute a Departmental Standard. The classes that are part of the Departmental Standard are referred to as summary accounts. All other classes within the core accounts and all classes within the supplementary accounts comprise the Recommended Standard.

Financial Position and Performance of a Business

The financial position and performance of a business is reported through accounting statements prepared by a business to communicate this information to a wide range of users in making economic decisions. The balance sheet provides information on the financial position of a business. The income statement provides information on the performance of a business. The elements of the balance sheet are assets, liabilities and equity. The elements of the income statement are revenues; expenses; gains/losses, corporate taxes and other items; and extraordinary gains/losses, non-recurring items and adjustments.

Variables

Each element of the balance sheet and income statement is considered a variable. The variables are:

1. Assets
2. Liabilities
3. Equity
4. Revenue
5. Expenses
6. Gains/losses, corporate taxes and other items
7. Extraordinary gains/losses, non-recurring items and adjustments

Standard Classification

Variables used to measure financial position and performance are classified according to the Statistics Canada Chart of Accounts (COA). The classification is hierarchical and the classes are mutually exclusive and exhaustive of the variables as a whole. An example of the coding system follows:

Example of coding system

1 Assets
1.1 Financial assets
1.1.1 Cash, Deposits and Official International Reserves
1.1.1.1 Cash in Canadian Currency
1.1.1.2 Demand Deposits / Notice Deposits in Deposit Accepting Institutions
1.1.1.3 Term Deposits - under 90 days
1.1.1.4 Other Cash Equivalents
1.1.1.5 Other Current Cash Accounts (including Restricted Cash)

For details, see the Statistics Canada Chart of Accounts. The conceptual basis of the COA is correspondence with generally-accepted business accounting practices.

Other Classifications

No other classifications are defined in this standard.

Concordances

The Statistics Canada Chart of Accounts will be linked to several other widely-used accounting taxonomies. These include the taxonomy of the International Accounting Standards Board (IAS), the General Index of Financial Information (GIFI), the US GAAP and the proposed Canadian GAAP.

Statistical Units

Information on financial position is compiled for companies and enterprises. Information on financial performance is compiled for establishments, companies and enterprises.

Population

Information on financial position and performance is compiled for groupings of the above statistical units as appropriate.
