  • 392. Air Quality Indicators
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 5127
    Description: The air quality indicators reflect the potential for long term exposure of Canadians to ground-level ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), key components of smog and two of the most common and harmful air pollutants to which people are exposed. Both the ozone and PM2.5 indicators are population weighted estimates of average concentrations of these pollutants observed by monitoring stations across Canada. Statistics Canada calculates the indicators based on monitoring data provided by Environment Canada's National Air Pollution Surveillance (NAPS) network.
  • 393. Freshwater Quality Indicator
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 5128
    Description: The purpose of this survey is to obtain information on the quality of surface water in Canada on an annual basis. Data are obtained from water quality monitoring programs managed by Environment Canada, provincial departments, or under federal-provincial agreements. At present, the freshwater quality indicator is presented as a national histogram of three consecutive years worth of results of the water quality index, calculated at individual monitoring sites across the country. The histogram groups values into five categories: poor, marginal, fair, good and excellent.
  • 394. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Indicator
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 5129
    Description: The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions indicator reports the trend in human made greenhouse gas emissions at a national, provincial/territorial, and sectoral level for six greenhouse gases in Canada: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulphur hexafluoride, perfluorocarbons, and hydrofluorocarbons.

  • 5. Orange Skies, Smoky Air and Billions at Risk of Going Up in Smoke
    Stats in brief: 45-20-00032026004
    Description: Orange skies, record breaking fire seasons, and smoke that travels thousands of kilometres have made wildfires impossible to ignore. But beyond the visible destruction lies another story, one measured not only in burned forests and evacuations, but also in economic impacts that ripple across communities and industries. How do wildfires affect Canada's economy? How are these impacts measured? And what do they tell us about the challenges Canadians may face in the years ahead?

    In this episode, we spoke with Mike Flannigan, a leading expert on wildfire science and climate change at Thompson Rivers University, and Mark Brown, Principal Researcher at Statistics Canada, to explore how wildfires are reshaping Canada’s forests, communities, and economy.
