The 2016 Canadian Census - an Alberta Perspective
An update from the Competitiveness and Market Analysis Section, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. Issue 45 The articles in this series include information on what consumers are buying and why they are buying it. January 2018 The 2016 Canadian Census - An Alberta Perspective provides the very basic profile of the domestic customer for Alberta companies. It can also provide hints of what may be on the horizon in terms of consumer demand for food and beverages. Alberta Population In 2016, Alberta’s population was 4,067,175, representing almost 12 per cent of Canada’s total population. Compared to the 2006 census, this constitutes a 24 per cent increase over the 10 years. The population is closely divided between gender with slightly more males in Alberta than females (50.1 per cent compared to 49.9). Alberta’s average age is 37.8 years which is a little younger than the average age for Canada (41 years). This is not surprising given that Alberta’s age distribution pyr- Rosalie Cunningham, BSc, MBA amid does generally skew young- Coordinating Researcher er with a noticeably lower propor- tion of its citizens over 65 years Email: [email protected] and more under 14 years.

Older Canadians' Preferences Towards Education Spending
Self-interest or solidarity? Older Canadians’ preferences towards education spending Florence Vallée-Dubois∗ Draft. Please do not cite without permission from the author. Abstract : Do older Canadians hold different attitudes towards education spending than younger Canadians ? If so, can attachment to neighbourhood help explain these attitudes ? Past research has indicated that individuals who are more attached to their place of living are usually more supportive of government spending in local institutions, such as schools. Using data from the 2015 Canadian Election Study and the 2016 Census of Canada, this research confirms that Ca- nadians aged 65 years and over are less likely to favour increases in education spending, but fails to confirm the moderation effect of place attachment on these attitudes. Keywords : population ageing, public opinion, education spending, Canada, place attachment Introduction Canadians aged 65 and over are expected to become one of the largest voting group in the country in the near future. According to the latest census, members of this age group are already more numerous than Canadians aged 14 and younger, but they should make up about 25% of the population by 2036 (Canada 2016a). The process of population ageing will thus rapidly increase the electoral influence of older Canadians. Whether older people 1 represent a “voting block” is still unclear. Scholars from some of the most rapidly ageing societies—like Germany, Japan and certain American states—have tried to answer this puzzle, but conclusions on this topic remain uncertain. While some studies contend that population ageing would move the preferences of the median voter towards those of a “typical” ∗Ph.D. -

Canadian Grass and Legume Seed Data: 2016 Canadian Census of Agriculture – Forage Seed
Canadian Grass and Legume Seed Data: 2016 Canadian Census of Agriculture – Forage Seed Overview: Every 5 years the Canadian government conducts a nation-wide “Census of Agriculture”, which provides a statistical portrait of Canada's agriculture industry and its farm operators and families. The latest census was conducted in 2016, with survey results released this past year. Unlike Statistics crop reporting series, which surveys Canada’s major crops annually (acres, production, usage etc.), this census is the one major way of finding trends in grass and legume seed production in Canada, albeit providing acreage data only. Viewing the “Forage Seed” data from the census, 2016 saw 1,784 Canadian farmers grow grass/legume seed on their farms, occupying over 400,000 acres. This was a rise of over 80,000 acres from the 2011 census. Still a valuable crop on many Canadian farms, grass and legume seed acres ranked 15th out of the 27 crops surveyed, occupying 0.4% of Canada’s total farming area. Canadian Production – 2016 Once again, Canada’s grass and legume 2016 Canada Census of Agriculture seed production was led by Alberta, with over Grass and Legume Seed Acres, By Province (2016 vs 2011) 164,000 acres of in production.

Cornwall Street Railway 23/04/1896 Ottawa Journal Cornwall Street Cornwall - 15Th
Local Railway Items from Area Papers - Cornwall Street Railway 23/04/1896 Ottawa Journal Cornwall Street Cornwall - 15th. Work has been commenced on the construction of Cornwall's electric street railway and it is expected that part of the line will be opened for traffic in June. -- The work was commenced at the GTR station yesterday and a roadbed is being laid sufficiently solid to carry loaded freight cars from the depot to the various mills and factories. The cars for the road are being built by the Rathbuns at Deseronto and the electric machinery is being made at Peterboro. -- A powerful 120 horse-power electric locomotive will be used to haul freight which will be one of the principal sources of revenue.-- An important part of the scheme is the park on Gillespie's point east of town which is to be fitted up as a pleasure resort.-- It is to be hoped that ere long they will build a line to connect with the CPR at Monkland station. This would shorten the trip to Ottawa considerably. Several spurs of this kind would bring a great deal of trade into the town and profit to the company. 02/07/1896 Ottawa Journal Cornwall Street Cornwall July 1. The Cornwall Electric Street Railway is now an accomplished fact and the members of the town council and a large party of prominent citizens were carried over five miles of track yesterday in handsome trolley cars run by electricity. Work was commenced on the building of the railway in April. A large force of men were employed and the track laid on a good solid bed of macadam from the GTR station down Pitt Street to Water Street and thence east to the St.
