- 1. Climate change in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-201-X200700010542Geography: CanadaDescription: The article "Climate Change in Canada" begins with an explanation of the science necessary to explore this topic. It continues to examine greenhouse gas emissions in Canada, investigating the driving forces behind those emissions and how those forces may have changed over time. It illustrates some of the impacts of climate change on our land, wildlife and peoples. The article concludes with a presentation of the activities that Canadians, industry and governments are undertaking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the changing climate, and also profiles some promising areas for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the future.Release date: 2008-04-22
- 2. Blowing up a storm - snowblowers in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X200700310456Geography: Canada, Province or territory, Census metropolitan areaDescription:
Snowblower ownership is affected by a variety of socio-economic, cultural and climatic factors. This article shows household ownership of gas-powered snowblowers in 2006, by province, using data from the Households and the Environment Survey. It also presents data on snowblower ownership in certain cities, juxtaposed with data on average snowfall.
Release date: 2007-12-10 - 3. Blue skies for blueberries ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-004-X20060019045Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article profiles the industry, examining its current economic status as well as blueberry cultivation and the fruit's popularity worldwide.
Release date: 2006-01-30 - 4. They're Tilling That Field Behind the Mall ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 96-328-M2004003Description:
This activity looks at the competition between agriculture and urban development for land around urban centres and the difficulties and advantages of farming close to urban areas. The pressure to build more housing in urban areas is strong, but such development takes some of Canada's best farmland out of production permanently. Should decisions on how this land is used be left solely to the market? Students will debate the issue.
Release date: 2004-06-09 - Articles and reports: 21-004-X20021036174Geography: CanadaDescription: Crop production across western Canada was lower in 2001 as a result of drought conditions. The grains industry has been drawing comparisons with the 1988 season, the last year a general drought reduced production. There are differences between the drought of 2001 and the drought of 1988. This article will examine some of these differences.Release date: 2002-03-28
- 6. Particulate matter and daily mortality: Combining time series information from eight U.S. cities ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 11-522-X19990015656Description:
Time series studies have shown associations between air pollution concentrations and morbidity and mortality. These studies have largely been conducted within single cities, and with varying methods. Critics of these studies have questioned the validity of the data sets used and the statistical techniques applied to them; the critics have noted inconsistencies in findings among studies and even in independent re-analyses of data from the same city. In this paper we review some of the statistical methods used to analyze a subset of a national data base of air pollution, mortality and weather assembled during the National Morbidity and Mortality Air Pollution Study (NMMAPS).
Release date: 2000-03-02 - 7. Seasonality in employment ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19990014408Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
Seasonality is an important issue because it can add a burden to the economy. The short-term use of seasonal labour is a more costly process than a steady use of labour throughout the year. This article reviews the change in seasonal employment patterns over the past two decades, and looks at how various industries, dempgraphic groups and regions have been affected.
