Metadata for Contiguous Client Roster

Jan 1999 to Oct 2025  - Client Roster is a record of the people who use the British Columbia health care system. The Client Roster is available in a number of variants, including continuous values, annual summaries, and immutable snapshots, for different purposes. This dataset - the Contiguous Client Roster - provides listing of the values as they change. The (contiguous) client roster provides the ability to query the situation at random points in the past. (N.B. historical data is both available, and updatable, so occasionally records for past years will change. It is not a fixed-for-ever snapshot). Due to complexity of the Contiguous Client Roster we recommend analysts and researchers to first evaluate whether the other annual summaries of registration presented in the main Client Roster is suffcient for their analysis before requesting Contiguous Client Roster.  

The Client Roster provides an aggregated breakdown of all people who live or have lived in B.C., over time, and it specifically focuses on people who have registered in the health care system with a Personal Health Number (PHN).

The Client Roster was created out of a need for standardized client information. Prior to the client roster, each analyst built their own collection of client information using data sources such as: Client Registry, RAPID and Vital event data sources.

Besides client demographics such as age, sex, and geographic location, the Client Roster also shows changes to client eligibility over time, including eligibility for MSP and PharmaCare programs.

The Client Roster is available in a number of variants, including continuous values, annual summaries, and immutable snapshots, for different purposes.

The Client Roster presents three different ways of grouping client services:
1. Values summarizing a calendar year (January-December)
2. Values summarizing a fiscal year (April-March)
3. Continuous listing of the values as they change (called the Contiguous Client Roster)

Forest Visual Quality - Web Viewer - Howe Sound Cumulative Effects Project

Visualization Tool:
This web app includes layers estimating the condition of Forest Visual Quality in the Howe Sound area based upon one key visual quality indicator. It also includes supplemental information maps to help with the interpretation of these assessments. All of these layers were last updated in 2017.

Description:
This web app was updated to Storymaps in November 2025. This web app features layers representing the Howe Sound Cumulative Effects Project area in British Columbia:  Forest Visual Quality indicator (forest visual condition) and supplemental environmental information. The assessment approach is based upon the draft South Coast Visual Quality CE Assessment Procedures. It estimates forest visual quality by calculating the percent of forest alteration from a planimetric view (map view) rather than a perspective view (on-the-ground public view points).

Metadata for BC Demographic Survey

Jun to Oct 2023 - The BC Demographic Survey contains questions that will be used to identify and understand systemic racism in government programs and services and identify where we can do better. Everyone deserves to live in a more equal and fairer BC where we all have opportunities to thrive. BC programs and services needs to consider the unique needs of Indigenous Peoples and racialized people. Your research of the survey results in combined with datasets from multiple Ministries can identify gaps in services, provide a better understanding of what is working, and help to create opportunities to change what is not.

Data was collected from June 6th, 2023 to October 15th, 2023 from people living in BC. The dataset includes race, ethnicity, ancestry, culture and other areas of identity. A random sample of BC households received a letter encouraging them to complete the survey. The survey was available online and by phone in 15 languages, paper surveys were available in English by request.  

Between E01 and E02

Q30RELIG was recoded to better reflect how participants answered their religious affiliation Q34CULTURE was completely recoded and simplified Q36MID Q37MID 3 missing codes were added More duplicate surveys were removed CHSA field re-classified New linkage performed. Unlinked study IDs start with UBD. If study id was unlinked in the previous edition's linkage and was unlinked in the current linkage the same study id was brought forward. A small number of previously linked survey ids were unlinked in the new linkage, these will have new UBD2 based ids applied.

In 2023 the BC population was just over five million people; therefore, while there are more than 200,000 respondents in the dataset, they represent less than 5% of the population. Sample weighting code has been provided to weight the BC population referencing census data.
