Over the past decade, the annual number of new HIV infections has remained relatively stable in Canada. • In 2011, the estimated HIV incidence rate among men who have sex with men was 71 times higher than the rate for other men. The HIV incidence rate for people who inject drugs was 46 times higher than the rate among people who had never injected drugs. • Aboriginal people and people from HIV-endemic countries continue to be over-represented in Canada’s HIV epidemic. • The HIV incidence rate for males was 14.2 per 100,000 population, which was 3.3 times greater than the rate of 4.3 per 100,000 for females. INTRODUCTION This HIV/AIDS Epi Update outlines the estimates of the total number of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in Canada at the end of 2011 (prevalence) and the number of new HIV infections in Canada in 2011 (incidence).

  • The Alcohol-Crash Problem in Canada: 2007
    CCMTA Road Safety Research Report Series Alcohol and Drug-Crash Problem in Canada 2011 Report Prepared for the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation of Canada December 2015 © Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators Prepared by: S.W. Brown, W.G.M. Vanlaar, and R.D. Robertson The Traffic Injury Research Foundation of Canada Ottawa, Ontario This publication may be reproduced without permission provided that its use is solely for the purposes of private study, research, criticism, review or newspaper summary and the source if fully acknowledged. ISBN# 978-1-927993-15-6 i ABSTRACT This report describes the magnitude and characteristics of the alcohol-crash and drug-crash problems in Canada during 2011 as well as trends in these problems. Information contained in this report was drawn from two national databases compiled and maintained by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) and funded jointly by the Public Health Agency of Canada and State Farm. One database contains information on persons fatally injured in motor vehicle crashes; the other has information on persons seriously injured in motor vehicle crashes. This report is prepared on behalf of the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA). This report examines: data on alcohol in fatally injured drivers and pedestrians; the number and percent of people who died in alcohol-related crashes; alcohol involvement in those crashes in which someone was seriously injured but not killed; and data on drugs in fatally injured drivers. Thus, in the report, various indicators are used to estimate the magnitude and extent of the alcohol-crash problem and drug-crash problem in Canada during 2011 as well as changes in these problems over the past few years.

  • Canada's Statistics on Land Cover and Land Use Change In
    Canada’s statistics on land cover and land use change in metropolitan areas Jennie Wang Paper prepared for the 16th Conference of IAOS OECD Headquarters, Paris, France, 19-21 September 2018 Session 3.F., Day 2, 20/09, 10h30: Urbanisation and sustainable cities 1 Jennie Wang [email protected] Statistics Canada Canada’s statistics on land cover and land use change in metropolitan areas DRAFT VERSION 30/08/2018 Prepared for the 16th Conference of the International Association of Official Statisticians (IAOS) OECD Headquarters, Paris, France, 19-21 September 2018 2 ABSTRACT Ecosystems are affected by changes in land cover and land use. As urbanization progresses in Canada and elsewhere, so too does the interest in quantifying land cover and land use changes in and around cities, particularly from the perspective of urban expansion and densification. The expansion of built-up areas results in the loss of adjacent agricultural and natural and semi- natural land covers. For example, cropland, grasslands, forests and wetlands are replaced by houses, apartment blocks, industrial parks, commercial strips, roads and parking lots. Densification may reduce some of the pressure on agricultural and natural land, but is not without its own challenges including the loss of green space and other amenities within existing settlements. This paper explores Statistics Canada’s recent work on measuring land use change around Canada’s 33 census metropolitan areas. It provides an overview of the methods used to integrate data sources from 1971 to 2011 and discusses limitations including availability of data and comparability over time. Findings and maps from the report Human Activity and the Environment: The changing landscape of Canadian metropolitan areas (Statistics Canada, 2016) are presented, along with new findings from work to extend this methodology to smaller census agglomerations.
