- Articles and reports: 16-001-M2025003Description: This technical paper provides an ecosystem accounting framework to assess Canada’s urban ecosystems and the ecosystem services they supply. The ecosystem accounts for large urban areas will measure ecosystem extent, condition and services following the internationally accepted environmental accounting standard. The technical paper will guide the development of urban accounts as part of the Census of Environment and will be used to engage with stakeholders about needs, methods, and uses of new data.Release date: 2025-07-14
- Journals and periodicals: 16-508-XDescription: Environment fact sheets will include short, focused, single-theme analysis on key issues within the changing environment with regards to all Canadians. Over the course of the series, analysis will include topics on: air and climate, pollution and waste, environmental protection and quality, and natural resources.Release date: 2025-06-05
- Geographic files and documentation: 16-510-X2025004Description: This product contains specifications intended for users of the Statistical Ecosystem Register grid system reference files. This document provides important technical information for users, including the coordinate reference system, resolution, and file contents and structure. This document also provides additional information about the grid system, reasons for some of the chosen parameters, and intended uses.Release date: 2025-05-13
- Table: 16-510-X2025005Description: This product contains reference files that define the nested spatial grid system used by the Census of Environment's Statistical Ecosystem Register. The reference grids are available as 11 GeoTIFF files, one for each resolution, as well as a well-known text representation of the projected coordinate reference system (.prj file). The GeoTIFF files contain only placeholder values of 1 (stored as a compressed unsigned 1-bit integer, to minimize the size of the files). These files can be used as templates for integrating data from multiple sources into a single gridded spatial reference system, thus enabling a common approach for related spatial data products.Release date: 2025-05-13

- Articles and reports: 75-006-X202500200003Description: Using smaller-level geographic classifications and well-being data from various waves of the Canadian Social Survey, this study aims to develop a more meaningful classification system beyond the traditional ‘urban-rural’ split which is often applied to Canadian geography. More specifically, this study takes a more nuanced look at the traditional urban-rural split by disaggregating at lower levels of geography in order to better understand geographical differences for select Quality of Life indicators, namely life satisfaction and sense of belonging to local community.Release date: 2025-01-29

Release date: 2014-09-24 - Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 16-001-M2009008Description:
In 2008, Statistics Canada conducted the first Agricultural Water Use Survey. This pilot survey is part of the Canadian Environment Sustainability Indicators initiative and collects information on volumes of water used for irrigation, irrigated areas, irrigation practices and the quality of water used for agricultural purposes. This technical paper describes the methodology used for the pilot survey and includes recommendations for future cycles of the survey. The validation process seems to indicate that the method used to estimate the volumes of water used and the irrigated areas calculated underestimates the results. The report gives recommendations to minimize this bias in the next iterations of the survey. First, it is recommended to simplify the level of information collected by the survey; to review the sampling methodology; and to examine other means of collecting information on volumes of water used for irrigation. This pilot version of the survey remains a reliable source for consistent data on agricultural water use.
