Food Microbiology - Targeted Surveys - Final Report - Parasites in Fresh Leafy Vegetables - April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2016 

​A targeted survey analysed 2,233 samples of leafy vegetables for the presence of DNA from the following enteric parasites of concern: Cyclospora, Cryptosporidium, Toxoplasma, and Giardia. 98.8% of the samples were found to be satisfactory. Cryptosporidium DNA was detected in two samples and Toxoplasma DNA was detected in three samples. Cyclospora DNA was detected in six samples and Giardia DNA was detected in fifteen samples. Due to methodology limitations and the perishable nature of the products, the time elapsed between sample pick up and the completion of analysis, implicated products were no longer available on the market when the parasite DNA was detected. As such, no direct product action was possible. No illnesses were reported in association with any of the positive samples.

HMS Terror Underwater Archaeological Survey April 2017

This report describes archaeological activities carried out by Parks Canada’s Underwater Archaeology Team in April 2017 at HMS Terror, in Terror Bay, Nunavut. The inspection work was achieved using a remotely operated vehicle deployed through an ice hole positioned over the wreck. The general goal was to document the HMS Terror wreck and its debris field in order to evaluate the site’s archaeological potential and integrity. It aimed more specifically to achieve complete exterior video and photo documentation of the wreck, as well as sector-scanning sonar recording of selected features. The exterior of the wreck was thoroughly documented, except for the starboard side of the vessel. Sector-scanning sonar was used to position and map a ship’s boat on the seafloor. The data collected thus far from HMS Terror now provides a benchmark for planning further archaeological research; it also demonstrates the amazing state of preservation of the wreck.

Data Reference Standard on Person(s): gender

This data reference standard provides a standard list of values to categorize data on person(s). 

The list reflects the classifications of gender and is designed to provide common data variables of the reported gender of person(s) or an individual’s personal and social gender identity.  

This data reference standard is to be read in conjunction with the Policy Direction to Modernize the Government of Canada’s Sex and Gender Information Practices and the Disaggregated Data Action Plan. 

This list of values is intended to standardize the way gender classifications are described in datasets to enable data interoperability and improve data quality. 

The appendix lists a data reference table that includes one-digit codes for designating gender.  

Not included in this data reference standard is an additional two-digit code for further classification.  

This data reference standard will be reviewed as required by the data reference steward in consultation with the data reference standard custodian.

Data reference standard on Canadian Provinces and Territories

__Introduction__

This reference data provides a standard list of values for all Canadian provinces and territories. The list reflects Canada’s 13 major political units. There are many coding systems for Canadian provinces and territories. The data standard shows the relationships among the recommended code and other common codes. 

__Purpose__

This list is intended to standardize the way Canadian provinces and territories are described in datasets to enable data interoperability and improve data quality. 

Not included in this standard are previous names, abbreviations and codes for provinces and territories. When changes occur in the future, version history will be maintained.

__Applicability__

Use of the codes within the “Alpha Code” column is recommended when sharing data within the federal government or publishing data to the Open Government Portal. This alpha code was chosen for three reasons: 

1.	it is comprehensible for users 
2.	it is closely aligned with the ISO 3166-2 code for subdivision and is identical to the Canada Post abbreviation
3.	it has already been adopted by a number of federal departments

The Alpha Code exactly matches the set of codes created and managed by Canada Post. If Canada Post changes its codes, the Government of Canada will review and separately approve any changes to this reference standard. 

If it is necessary to use a numerical code in a data system, then the numerical code created by Statistics Canada is included in the table.

Canadian Clinical Drug Data Set (CCDD)

The Canadian Clinical Drug Dataset is a drug terminology and coding system designed to allow the interchange of standardized drug and medical device information between diverse digital health systems. Some use cases include electronic prescribing, electronic medical records, medication reconciliation and analytics. It also provides for the classification and identification of defined groups of medications (called special groupings), such as narcotic and controlled drugs. It has the capacity to be used by knowledge-based vendors, clinicians, researchers, statistical users, government agencies, healthcare organisations and consumers.

The data source for the CCDD is the Drug Product Database (DPD) which contains information on drugs approved by Health Canada. However, the data is modeled differently following the CCDD Editorial Guidelines which take into consideration international terminology standards. For example, DPD uses the dosage form, “tablet (delayed-release)”, whereas CCDD uses the equivalent term “gastro-resistant tablet.” The Canadian Clinical Drug Data Set does not replace the Health Canada Drug Product Database (DPD) but is published in addition to it.

The scope of health products included in CCDD is limited to those classified as human in DPD (veterinary, radiopharmaceutical and disinfectant products are out of scope). Some exclusions apply within the human class but are subject to periodic review: For a full list of exclusions, please see the Scope section in the CCDD Editorial Guidelines. In addition, a limited number of medical devices that are commonly prescribed and dispensed at a community pharmacy are included. 

This data set was developed in collaboration with Canada Health Infoway and is also available on their Terminology Server at https://infocentral.infoway-inforoute.ca/en/tools/standards-tools/terminology-server (Free login required)

National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials

        Canadians have long served their country by participating in numerous wars and conflicts. Over the years, individual citizens, veterans organizations and service clubs have raised thousands of memorials across the country to honour those sailors, soldiers, airmen and women who made great sacrifices towards the restoration of world peace and served their country so well.  
        
In keeping with our proud military heritage, Canadians erected cenotaphs in municipal centres, raised monuments in parks, cemeteries and public areas. Church members have mounted plaques and stained glass windows as memorials, and cairns and fountains have been constructed as important landmarks marking various military involvement. All of this is done to mark the service of family, friends and comrades, and to ensure that these important and not so well known battles and events form part of our communal memory.
