- Articles and reports: 16-002-X201000411372Geography: CanadaDescription:
Potable water of sufficient quality and in adequate quantities is fundamental to human health and the economy. This article examines temporal and geographic variations in drinking water production volumes.
Release date: 2010-12-08 - Articles and reports: 11-008-X201100111365Geography: CanadaDescription:
In society today, many Canadians are concerned about the environment and the scarcity of resources. Consequently, many individuals and governments are seeking ways to reduce or alter energy and water consumption patterns. This article uses data from the 2007 Households and the Environment Survey to examine the association between income, education, ownership, age of dwelling and years lived at the dwelling and the use of low-volume toilets; low-flow showerheads; compact fluorescent light bulbs; programmable thermostats; and appliances bought to save energy or water.
Release date: 2010-12-07 - Articles and reports: 16-002-X201000311346Geography: CanadaDescription: This article describes changes to the mass balance of six Canadian glaciers through time and is the first in an ongoing series of short analytical articles featuring climate related data. This and future articles are the product of ongoing collaboration among Statistics Canada, Environment Canada and Natural Resources Canada.Release date: 2010-09-22
- 4. Freshwater supply and demand in Canada ArchivedStats in brief: 16-201-X201000011295Geography: CanadaDescription:
This analytical article "Freshwater Supply and Demand in Canada", provides information on Canada's freshwater supply as well as the demands placed on it. New research done within Statistics Canada is complimented by information from other sources, including other federal government departments, international bodies and scientific journals.
Section 1 of this article compares Canada's renewable water resources to those of other countries, introduces key highlights and presents a short water primer. Section 2 quantifies Canada's renewable water resources (annual water yield), shows how water yield has changed from 1971 to 2004, and presents graphs of water yield by month for four regions of the country. Section 3 quantifies economic and residential water use in Canada and concludes with an analysis of the relationship between supply and demand. A glossary of terms used in the publication is available in Section 4.
Release date: 2010-09-13 - 5. Recycling by Canadian Households, 2007 ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-001-M2010013Description: Recycling has become a common habit for most Canadian households. These households have many choices when it comes to recycling: they decide whether or not to recycle, how much to recycle, and what methods to use when they do. Using data from the 2007 Households and the Environment Survey, the paper examines recycling decisions made by Canadian households, some of the reasoning behind those decisions, and the relationship between recycling behaviour and a selection of demographic factors.Release date: 2010-07-07
- 6. Natural resource wealth, 1990 to 2009 ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X201000211284Geography: CanadaDescription: Natural resources such as oil and gas, timber and minerals are an important component of Canada's wealth, generating income, employment and exports. This article examines growth in resource wealth.Release date: 2010-06-29
- Articles and reports: 16-001-M2010012Description:
The paper examines the contribution of the household sector to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada, through its use of private motor vehicles. Emissions estimates are presented at national, provincial and census metropolitan area (CMA) levels. The study uses data from the Canadian Vehicle Survey (CVS), conducted by Statistics Canada's Transportation Division and the Material and Energy Flow Accounts (MEFA) from Environment Accounts and Energy Statistics Division (EASD).
At the national level the study presents estimates of vehicle emissions, GHG intensity, as well as per capita emissions. Total and per capita emissions by income group are also presented at the national level. At the provincial and CMA levels, the study presents the first survey based estimates of total and per capita vehicle emissions. It also explores the regional differences and examines the contributing factors.
Release date: 2010-05-13 - Articles and reports: 16-002-X201000111134Geography: CanadaDescription:
Settlements are important hubs for residential, commercial and industrial activity, however, the size, structure and form of settlements over time can have a variety of social, economic and environmental implications. Statistics Canada has developed a new concept and dataset to delineate or map boundaries for Canada's settlements. This article presents some of the early geographic results of this project.
