This is an information notice.
Health Regions (HR) 2017 was approved as a departmental standard on December 15, 2017.
The classification provides standard names and codes for Canada's health regions. Health regions are legislated administrative areas defined by provincial ministries of health. These administrative areas represent geographic areas of responsibility for hospital boards or regional health authorities. Health regions, being provincial administrative areas, are subject to change.
While the classification and its variant retain the same structures as in 2015, new reference maps have been created for HR 2017 to align health region boundaries with 2016 Census geography. Small boundary adjustments have been made in Manitoba and Saskatchewan to follow shorelines and conform to road networks.
Changes and corrections have been made to the following health region names:
The first use of Health Regions (HR) 2017 and its variant was in the publication Health Regions: Boundaries and Correspondence with Census Geography (82-402-X).
The classification variant, Health Regions for Alternate Reporting - Variant of HR 2017, presents a second set of health regions for Ontario, the Local Health Integrated Networks (LHINs).

In January and February 2018, Statistics Canada conducted its annual website evaluation by collecting feedback from visitors on a number of topics, including:
A pop-up intercept was used from January 8 to February 2, 2018, to invite website users to complete a short questionnaire. In total, 10,027 visitors participated in the consultation.
In order to better understand our respondents' profile, a few demographic questions (e.g., occupational profile, statistical proficiency, frequency of visits, etc.) were included in the short questionnaire.
When asked their occupational profile, 53% of respondents indicated that they were employed; 24% said they were students; and the remainder was a mix of self-employed (8%), retired (8%), unemployed (4%) and not in the workforce (2%).
Of those employed, almost half (47%) were from the business/private sector, approximately one third (34%) worked in government and the remainder were from non-governmental organizations (11%) and other sectors (8%).
Respondents were also asked how they would define their statistical proficiency: 25% said they had a high proficiency (can manipulate datasets and do univariate or multivariate analysis); 59% said medium (can analyze and interpret data tables and turn them into useable information); 13% said low (can calculate a percentage and can display in a graph); and 3% indicated that they have no statistical proficiency at all.
Additionally, respondents were asked about the frequency of their visits to the website: 33% were frequent visitors (visited the website six or more times in the last six months) and 67% were infrequent visitors (visited the website fewer than six times in the last six months).
In 2018, 73% of respondents expressed overall satisfaction with the Statistics Canada website, unchanged from 2017.
The consultation revealed that 66% of visitors were looking for data and data tables on a specific topic; 10% searched for studies, articles or publications on a specific topic; and 24% were looking for a variety of things, such as surveys to complete, reference information, and standard classifications.
Like the 2017 results, those from 2018 show that more than three quarters (76%) of respondents completed their task successfully.
Among successful respondents, 79% took less than 6 minutes to find the information they were seeking and 79% reported that finding information was easy.
Frequent visitors indicated a higher success rate in completing their tasks (83%) than infrequent visitors (73%).
Respondents in the provincial (78%) and federal (79%) government sectors had the most success in finding information.
Among all visitors, the success level was highest for respondents looking for information in The Daily, at 93%.
This consultation is now closed, but individuals who wish to obtain more information or to take part in a future consultation project should contact Statistics Canada by sending an email to statcan.consultations-consultations.statcan@statcan.gc.ca.
