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). 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.

2025 Annual Waste Management Survey

Why are we conducting this survey?

This survey will provide information that will help Canadians understand how much waste is managed by governments and businesses in Canada. Data will be collected from businesses within the waste management industry, as well as from businesses that are engaged in handling some or all of their own waste, through partnerships and material recovery agreements. The results will assist businesses and policy makers in making sound decisions related to waste management, based on data that apply specifically to activities conducted in this area. The survey will provide a comprehensive picture of waste management in Canada.

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. 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

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.

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.

Recycling

31. In 20xx, did this Jurisdiction/Company own or operate a facility (municipally or privately operated) that prepared materials for recycling?

e.g., material recycling facility (MRF), recycling centre, drop-off depot

Definitions and explanations

Glossary

Recycling:
Recycling is defined as the process whereby a recyclable material (e.g., glass, metal, plastic, paper) is diverted from the waste stream in order to be remanufactured into a new product, or is used as a raw material substitute.
Recycling centre/drop off depot:
A facility or site where the public can bring materials for recycling or re-use. In some cases, household hazardous waste or special waste is accepted at these sites.
Material Recycling Facility (MRF):
A facility where materials that are collected for recycling are prepared or processed. The preparation or processing can include sorting, baling, cleaning, crushing, volume reduction and storing until shipment.

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).
Ferrous metals:
These are metals which contain iron. They may have small amounts of other metals or other elements added, to yield specific properties. All ferrous metals are magnetic and give little resistance to corrosion. Steel is an example of a ferrous metal. The recycling of ferrous metals include but is not limited to the processing of tin/steel cans, strapping, as well as the extraction of metals from appliances.
Scrap metal:
Any metal cutting or reject of a manufacturing operation, which may be suitable for recycling.
Textiles:
Material composed of natural or synthetic fibers, including any combination of animal derived material such as wool or silk, plant-derived material such as linen and cotton, and synthetic material such as polyester or nylon (e.g., towels, shoes, purses, clothing, curtains and carpets).
White goods:
Includes metal items such as: stoves, fridges, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, washers, dryers, hot water tanks, metal sinks, microwaves, and various other metal items.
Plastics:
PET (1): Polyethylene Terephthalate, commonly abbreviated as PET or PETE, is a polymer resin of the polyester family. PET is identified by the number 1 recycling symbol. Commonly recyclable PET materials include 2 litre soda bottles, water bottles, cooking oil bottles, peanut butter jars.
HDPE (2): High Density Polyethylene is a polyethylene thermoplastic made from petroleum. HDPE is identified by the number 2 recycling symbol. Some commonly recycled HDPE materials include detergent bottles, milk jugs, and grocery bags.
All other plastics (3–7): Polyvinyl Chloride - PVC (3), Low Density Polyethylene - LDPE (4), Polypropylene - PP (5), Polystyrene - PS (6), Other (7). Common uses: (3) plastic pipes, outdoor furniture, shrink wrap, water bottles, (4) dry cleaning bags, produce bags, trash can liners, (5) aerosol caps, drinking straws, (6) packaging pellets, Styrofoam cups, (7) food containers.
Electronics:
Electronics are items that function through the use of electricity and/or batteries. Also included are items that have a circuit board but do not necessarily require electricity from an outlet (such as telecommunication equipment). Examples are personal computers, laptops, monitors, peripheral devices (printers, scanners, etc.), telephones, cell phones, facsimile machines, stereos, portable music players and children's toys containing electronic components.
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.

Electric Utility Financial Report Annual Survey 2025

Why are we conducting 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 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:
  • Supporting the government in making informed decisions about fiscal, monetary and foreign exchange policies.
  • Enabling academics and economists to analyze the economic performance of Canadian industries and to better understand rapidly evolving business environments.

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

Osama Rahman presented a high‑level overview of the ongoing transformation facing national statistical offices (NSOs). He emphasized that NSOs are at a pivotal moment, requiring rapid modernization through the integration of multisource data, strengthening governance and privacy protections, reinforcing public trust, adopting new survey design addressing bias, alongside the adaptation of new technologies, digital capabilities, and more collaborative operating models.

Discussion with Council members explored how emerging platforms and technologies may require NSOs to evaluate their operating models, potentially adopting platform‑style architectures inspired by the private sector.

Mr. Rahman reiterated the importance of pursuing a careful yet ambitious transition, focused on modernizing systems, strengthening partnerships, and better leveraging existing data assets, while ensuring that quality, neutrality, and public trust remain at the core of official statistics.

Pertaining to National Governance, discussions focused on the role of the "Institut de la Statistique du Québec" (ISQ) and explored opportunities for strengthened collaboration, particularly through interdepartmental agreements.

The discussion covered the establishment of national governance and a national statistical framework, an inherently complex undertaking given the different legal frameworks across provincial and federal legislation.

On technological change, Mr. Sirois highlighted shared challenges across provincial and federal statistical agencies, including trust, increased use of artificial intelligence, integration of administrative data in the statistical process, and the need to remain relevant in an evolving data and statistics landscape. Ms. Caris raised issues of data coherence at the national and international levels and invited CSAC input; members noted that achieving coherence through official statistics may require legislative changes.

Collaboration between Statistics Canada and the ISQ and other Canadian agencies is encouraged to develop a functional federal-provincial-territorial framework for official statistics.
