Canada March 2012 India-Canada Relations Introduction In Canada, India is represented by the High Commission of India in Ottawa and the two Consulates in Toronto and Vancouver. In India, Canada is represented by the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi and the Consulates in Chandigarh, Chennai and Mumbai. India established diplomatic relations with Canada in 1947. India and Canada have longstanding bilateral relationship based on shared democratic values, the multi- cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious nature of two societies and strong people-to- people contacts. In recent years, both countries have been working to enhance bilateral cooperation in a number of areas of mutual importance. Canada is endowed with vast natural reserves in potash, uranium, coal, oil and gas, diamonds, forest products, etc. and offers good opportunities for investments or joint ventures for India.

    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.
