- 1. Canada's natural resource wealth at a glance ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X200700310454Geography: CanadaDescription:
Natural resources, including energy, timber and minerals, contribute significantly to Canada's total wealth. This article examines the growth in resource wealth, from 1997 to 2006. It also describes the changes in natural resource prices, reserves and extraction costs.
Release date: 2007-12-10 - 2. Water Management on Canadian Farms ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-021-M2007001Geography: CanadaDescription:
The analysis contained in this article is based on results from the 2001 Farm Environmental Management Survey (FEMS). It presents information on various practices used to manage water on Canadian farms. Practices surveyed are divided in two groupings: those used to protect natural sources of water - maintaining vegetation on areas adjacent to natural sources of water, management of grazing livestock, conservation measures for natural wetland areas, and disposal of milkhouse wash water and toxic wastes; and those related to the use of water for farming and household activities types of irrigation systems and testing of domestic water.
Results show that farm practices impacting water quality and quantity are significantly used by Canadian farmers. Higher adoption rates of environmental measures could likely be achieved to reduce agriculture's environmental footprint. These results can assist governments, farmers and non-governmental organizations in targeting actions and in the promotion and development of new farm environmental programs and practices.
Release date: 2007-11-06 - 3. The new underground economy of subsoil resources ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-010-X200701010365Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article looks in more detail at how the commodity boom has affected our primary industries over the last 5 years, notably the shift from forestry to energy and mining. Rather than being 'hewers of wood and drawers of water', it is more accurate to say 'conveyors of crude and moilers of metals'.
Release date: 2007-10-11 - 4. A demand perspective on greenhouse gas emissions ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X200700210335Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article provides an analysis of greenhouse gas emissions from a demand perspective. The analysis is based on the greenhouse gas emissions accounts and input-output accounts produced at Statistics Canada. It shows that domestic requirements for goods and services led to 54% of Canadian industrial emissions, while production to satisfy exports accounted for the remaining 46%. Between 1990 and 2002, emissions associated with domestic demand grew slowly at 0.4% while those associated with the production of goods for export grew by 50%.
Release date: 2007-09-26 - Articles and reports: 16-002-X200700210336Geography: CanadaDescription: Managing lawns and gardens is a popular activity that takes on different forms across Canada. Statistics from the Households and the Environment Survey show that regional differences create a diversity of lawn and garden practices. Specifically, this study looks at how the application of pesticides and fertilizers and the use of outdoor water conservation devices vary.Release date: 2007-09-26
- 6. Heavy Fuel Oil Consumption in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-621-M2007062Geography: CanadaDescription: This study examines the trends in the use of heavy fuel oil Canada on the basis of industries and provinces between 1990 and 2005 using mostly data from the Report on Energy Supply-Demand in CanadaRelease date: 2007-09-06
- 7. Recycling in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X200700110174Geography: CanadaDescription: Access to recycling programs has improved since the mid-1990s and Canadian households are recycling larger quantities than ever before. The study also looks at factors affecting household recycling.Release date: 2007-07-13
- Table: 16-002-X200700110177Geography: CanadaDescription:
Canada's population doubled between 1956 and 2006. Human population growth is an important factor in determining society's influence on the environment. One example of our growing population's influence on the environment is illustrated vis-à-vis the increasing number of motor vehicles registered over time.
