  • 1. Active and Public Transportation Spatial Accessibility Measures: Methodology and Key Results
    Articles and reports: 18-001-X2024005
    Description: The Spatial Access Measures are a set of indicators that quantify the ease of reaching destinations of varying levels of attractiveness from an origin dissemination block. There are seven destination amenities which include educational and post-secondary educational facilities, health care facilities, places of employment, grocery stores, cultural and arts facilities, and sports and recreational facilities. For each amenity, there are four variants based on the transportation mode: access via public transit during peak hours, access via public transit during off-peak hours, access via cycling, and access via walking.

  • 2. Occupational and sex differences in active commuting among Canadian workers from 2006 to 2016
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400900001
    Description: Active commuting (AC) to and from work is associated with numerous health benefits, through increased physical activity. This study examined whether occupation types and part-time work, by sex, were associated with AC in a population-based sample of Canadian workers. This study examined the associations between occupational classifications, part-time work, and AC (i.e., walking, cycling) and public transit use, in a nationally representative sample of Canadian adults, while controlling for other relevant sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., education, income, urbanity). This study also explored how associations between occupational classifications and AC differed by sex and how AC rates may have changed over time.

    The purpose of this study is to examine how the association between walkability or an "activity friendly environment" and physical activity varies across the lifespan and by the various domains of physical activity in Canadians by combining the newly-developed Canadian Active Living Environments Database (Can-ALE) with two nationally-representative health surveys. Data are from the 2016 Can-ALE database, the Canadian Health Measures Survey (2009-2015), and the Canadian Community Health Survey (2015-2016).

    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201900500002
    Description:

    The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of the Canadian Active Living Environments (Can-ALE) dataset: a Canada-wide set of four individual and four summary measures that characterize the favourability of active living environments in Canadian communities at the dissemination-area level.
