These records were drawn from a sample of one quarter of the Canadian population (sample data from questionnaire 2A-L). The 2016 PUMF contains 123 variables. Of these, 92 variables, or 75%, come from the individual universe and 31 variables, or 25%, are drawn from the family, household and dwelling universes. In addition, the file contains a unique record identifier (ID), an individual weighting factor and 16 replicate weights for the purpose of estimating sampling variability. The file does not include people living in institutions; Canadian citizens living temporarily in other countries; full-time members of the Canadian Forces stationed outside Canada; persons living in institutional collective dwellings such as hospitals, nursing homes and penitentiaries; and persons living in non-institutional collective dwellings such as work camps, hotels and motels, and student residences. This user guide is divided into four chapters: Chapter 1 contains the record layout, an indispensable tool for using the file. Chapter 2 describes the variables contained in the file. Chapters 3 and 4 respectively deal with the sampling method and factors affecting data quality and reliability. Similar to what was done in 2011, Statistics Canada has decided to produce individual and hierarchical PUMF files for the 2016 Census. The hierarchical file will contain combined data from the individual, family, household and dwelling universes and will be made available in mid-2019. Census reference products and materials 1. Response rates 2016 Census of Population collection response rates The methodology used for the 2016 Census differs from the one used for the voluntary 2011 National Household Survey, which may affect the comparability of the 2016 results to 2011. The collection response rate for the 2016 Census long form was 97.8%, the best ever recorded. This response rate enables the provision of high-quality information for virtually all communities in Canada. 2. Census Dictionary http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2016/ref/dict/index-eng.cfm The Census Dictionary is a reference document which contains detailed definitions of concepts, universes, variables, and geographic terms used in the Census. By referring to the Census Dictionary, both beginner and intermediate data users will gain a better understanding of the data. 4 3. Reference guides The reference guides provide information that enables users to effectively use, apply and interpret data from the 2016 Census of Population. Each guide contains definitions and explanations of concepts, classifications, data quality and comparability to other sources. Additional information is included for specific variables to help general users better understand the concepts and questions used in the Census.

Although they live in separate countries - the province of Saskatchewan in Canada, and the country of Guatemala in Central America – they share a similar collective history of colonial violence, assimilation and oppression.

Findlay, Bill Holden, Stephen Wormith, Pamela Brotzel, Sana Rachel Sunny, and Hannah Holden Community-University Institute for Social Research Building healthy, sustainable communities Since 1999, the Community-University Institute for Social Research (CUISR)—formally established as a university- wide interdisciplinary research centre in 2000—has remained true to its mission of facilitating “partnerships between the university and the larger community in order to engage in relevant social research that supports a deeper understanding of our communities and that reveals opportunities for improving our quality of life.” Strategic Research Directions CUISR is committed to collaborative research and to accurate, objective reporting of research results in the public domain, taking into account the needs for confidentiality in gathering, disseminating, and storing information. In 2007 CUISR adopted five interdisciplinary strategies: 1. Saskatoon Community Sustainability 2. Social Economy 3. Rural-Urban Community Links 4. Building Alliances for Indigenous Women’s Community Development 5. Analysis of community-university partnerships These strategic directions extend our research organized until 2007 in three modules—quality of life indicators, community health determinants and health policy, and community economic development—the result of efforts to address health, quality of life, and poverty that led to the formation of CUISR to build capacity among researchers, CBOs, and citizenry. CUISR research projects are funded largely by SSHRC, local CBOs, provincial associations, and municipal, provincial, and federal governments. Beginning in 2007, CUISR’s reputation for high quality community-based participatory research (CBPR) enabled us to diversify our funding by responding to community agency requests to conduct research projects for them for a fee.

    15_solo_ch15.qxd 3/23/10 7:57 PM Page 456 Ca•na•di•an i•den•ti•ty: a set of values, symbols, and landscapes that Canadians regard as expressing our unique place among the world’s countries eth•nic sub•cul•ture: a self-perpetuating group of consumers who share common cultural or genetic ties which are recognized by both its members and others as a distinct category 15_solo_ch15.qxd 3/23/10 7:57 PM Page 457 Chapter 15 Canadian Identity and Ethnic Subcultures ETHNIC SUBCULTURES AND CONSUMER IDENTITY “New” Canadians have much in common with members of other ethnic groups who live in Canada. They observe the same national holidays, their expenditures are affected by the country’s economic health, and they may join together in root- ing for Canadian Olympians. Nonetheless, although Canadian citizenship provides the raw material for some consumption decisions, other decisions are affected profoundly by enormous variations in the social fabric of Canada. This chapter begins with general concepts related to ethnicity and consumer behaviour and an overview of the ethnic diversity of the Canadian population. It continues with a look at French Canadians as an ethnic group with a long-standing presence in Canada. Chinese Canadians and the relatively recent wave of Hong Kong immigrants provide an example of acculturation processes as they relate to consumer behaviour. (Although this chapter addresses only two ethnic subcultures, the omission of other groups should not be taken to mean that they are not of inter- est or importance. Canada is a mosaic of hundreds of diverse and interesting subcul- tures.) The analysis then proceeds to a regional level.

  • Prince Edward Island
    Early Immigration – Prince Edward Island Prepared by Marlene Campbell of Wyatt Heritage Properties, Summerside This program has been made possible through partial funding from the Community Museums Association of Prince Edward Island’s Museum Development Grant. The purpose of the program The material that forms this program on the Canadian identity from the Prince Edward Island perspective is written to encompass the existence of the aboriginal people and the coming of the earliest settlers. Half of the immigration to the Island happened in the first fifty years of the 1800s. By the 1850s it had trickled to a small stream of individuals coming to seek a new life. By the end of the 1800s Island settlements grew to the point where there was outward migration to other lands such as California, and the New England states. Later migrations favored the big cities of Ontario and Quebec and now Alberta is the destination of choice. It does not cover immigration of different ethnic groups in the 20 th and 21 st centuries. The content of the program The materials that constitute this program are contained within a suitcase for easy storage and portability. This manual provides the core information. There are various supplementary resources, including books, CDs, and a PEI map. A complete listing is included at the end of the text. Introduction: Who are the people of Prince Edward Island? The people of this small Canadian province think of themselves primarily as “Islanders.” Secondly they are Canadian, part of the fabric of the nation. With the exception of the Aboriginal People who have inhabited this land for centuries, the people who call this place home originally came from other countries.

  • Cultural Face-Off
    (jcu ) Ltd Cultural Face-Off: Yankees, British, and the St. John Valley French Beatrice Craig he upper St. John Valley seems to have been a well-frequented place from the late eighteenth century onward. Until the build T ing of railways in the latter part of the nineteenth century, the valley was the only winter route between Halifax and Québec City, and one of the few summer ones. Consequently, it was frequently used by Brit ish people, who could be government officials, couriers or private indi viduals travelling for business or pleasure. The latter were usually drawn by the Grand Falls, which had quickly become a well-known public attrac tion; even official travellers would make it a point to stop along their way and view it. Many of those British travellers indulged in a pastime com mon among the respectable classes of the time, the writing of travelogues, and left an account of their trip through the upper reaches of the St. John Valley. As for more official travellers, they often visited the region spe cifically to collect information for the report they were expected to pro duce. British travellers went through the upper St. John Valley even before it was settled. American travellers did not appear until much later, with the exception of the surveyor of the Bingham purchase who made his way to the upper St. John in 1790. No other Americans seem to have reached the upper St. John until the late 1810s, when timber cruisers and lumberers arrived, Some of those men settled permanently in the area, but none both ered penning his impressions for posterity.

  • Estimating Lactase Nonpersistence Distributions in the Multi-Ethnic Canadian Demographic: a Population-Based Study

E-mail [email protected] Abstract Objectives: The lactase persistence/nonpersistence (LP/LNP) phenotypes follow a geographic pattern that is rooted in the gene-culture coevolution observed throughout the history of human migrations. The immense size and relatively open immigration policy have drawn migrants of diverse ethnicities to Canada. Among the multicultural demographic, two-thirds of the population are derived from the British Isles and northwestern France. A recent assessment of worldwide lactase distributions found Canada to have an LNP rate of 59% (confidence interval [CI] 44%–74%). This estimate is rather high compared with earlier reports that listed Canada as a country with a 10% LNP rate; the authors had also noted that biases were likely because their calculations were based largely on Aboriginal studies. We hereby present an alternate LNP prevalence estimate at the national, provincial and territorial level.
