Data Literacy Program Needs Assessment Survey Results

The data literacy program put out a survey to assess the current level of data literacy across the BC Public Service. The nine survey questions identified perceived and expressed needs to support data skills development.  The survey was posted on an internal government web page of the Digital Platforms and Data Division (OCIO) for two weeks in June 2019. 267 people responded to the survey. This number comprises 20 executive users, 93 data professionals and 154 business users from 24 ministries and associated public agencies. The original nine survey questions (including category definitions) are provided in both PDF and text formats. The anonymous results data is provided in CSV format with 'selected/not selected' for multiple choice questions, and 'NA' indicating no response for text-based questions. Some text-based questions (3) are not included in the CSV to maintain privacy of respondents.

Current Season Manual Snow Survey Data

This data file contains the current year (December to April) snow pack level manual observations from across British Columbia. Manual snow survey sites are actively surveyed as part of the [BC Snow Survey program](http://bcrfc.env.gov.bc.ca/). Manual snow surveys are conducted up to eight times per year around the beginning of every month from January through June with extra measurements at mid-month in May and June.  Active and inactive snow course locations are available [here](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/9f653102-5627-45a7-bd4c-686e365ee04a). The majority of snow courses are located between 1000 and 2000 metres above sea level. Five or ten location points within a sampling area are chosen and referenced to trees etc. which will be visible when there is snow on the ground. At each sampling period, measurements are made at all of the location points at the sampling site -- the data point for that site is the average snow depth (cm) and water equivalent (mm) of the measured location points. Other attributes in the data set include: site number, survey period, elevation (m) and percent of normal. Archived snow pack level manual observations are available [here](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/705df46f-e9d6-4124-bc4a-66f54c07b228).

Data can be directly accessed via the [Real-Time Water tool](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content?id=39A675506AE54C4CB240849338B7C8D8) and the [Snow Stations Interactive Map](https://governmentofbc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=c15768bf73494f5da04b1aac6793bd2e).
