Peat Profile Database

Peatlands cover approximately 12% of the Canadian landscape and play an important role in the carbon cycle through their centennial to millennial-scale storage of carbon under waterlogged and anoxic conditions. In recognizing the potential of these ecosystems as natural climate solutions and therefore the need to include them in national greenhouse gas inventories, the Canadian Model for Peatlands module (CaMP v. 2.0) was developed by the Canadian Forest Service. Model parameterization included compiling peat profiles across Canada to calibrate peat decomposition rates from different peatland types, to define typical bulk density profiles, and to describe the hydrological (i.e., water table) response of peatlands to climatic changes. A total of 1,217 sites were included in the dataset from published and unpublished sources. The CORESITES table contains site location and summary data for each profile, as well as an estimate of total carbon mass per unit area (megagrams C ha-1). Total carbon mass per unit area at each location was calculated using bulk density and carbon content through each profile. The PROFILES table contains data for depth (cm), bulk density (g cm-3), ash and carbon content (%), and material descriptions for contiguous samples through each peat profile. Data gaps for bulk density and C content were filled using interpolation, regression trees, and assigned values based on material description and/or soil classification to allow for the estimation of total carbon mass per unit area. A subset of the sites (N = 374) also have pH and pore water trace-elemental geochemistry data and are found in the WATER table. The REFERENCES table contains the full citation of each source of the data and is linked to each core location through the SOURCEDATA table. The LOOKUP table defines codes in the database that required more space than what was sufficient in the metadata tables. The data will be useful for future work on carbon stock mapping and ecosystem modelling.

Labour Force Distribution (LFD) for Natural Resource Sectors in Canada

The Labour Force Distribution (LFD) maps are derived from the CanEcumene 2.0 Geodatabase using custom tabulations of census-based labour force data.  These LFD maps were calculated for each of the five major natural resource sectors in Canada: Forestry, Fisheries, Agriculture, Minerals, and Petroleum and Coal.  The measure used is the labour force of each sector as a proportion of the goods-producing sectors in the economy.  Labour force proportions were first calculated at the individual community level, and then interpolated on a regional level using GIS (see Eddy et. al. 2020 for more detail).  In effect, these maps show the strong importance of Canada’s natural resource sectors in various regions of the country.  The darker the tone in each map indicates a region’s higher degree of dependency on a given sector for their economic livelihood.

2024-2025 Public Opinion Research on Privacy Issues

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) commissioned Phoenix Strategic Perspectives Inc. (Phoenix SPI) to conduct a telephone survey of Canadians and an online survey of parents and teachers on privacy-related issues.
The OPC will use the survey findings to better understand Canadians’ concerns and attitudes towards privacy, their awareness of privacy institutions, and their views on managing their personal information. This insight will inform and guide outreach efforts. Additionally, the OPC uses the data for accountability purposes, such as Departmental Results Reports, and to track progress on key priorities, including children’s privacy and artificial intelligence.

Skills and Competencies Taxonomy Data (SCT) 2022 Version 1.0

The Skills and Competencies Taxonomy (SCT) streamlines the terminology of hundreds of occupational descriptors used in the labour market. Each descriptor is associated with one of the seven categories (skills, abilities, personal attributes, knowledge, interests, work context and work activities), which are then further divided into sub-categories. 

 

The SCT is one of the two pillars of the Occupational and Skills Information System (OaSIS), which provides measurement indicators for most descriptors in the Taxonomy across more than 900 occupations. 

 

To improve on the 2019 version, the 2022 SCT was updated with consideration of the content in OaSIS occupational profiles. Among the changes, the category of Personal Abilities and Attributes was split into two distinct categories: Abilities and Personal Attributes. Within the Knowledge category, subcategories and descriptors were redefined to better reflect both academic and technical knowledge and expertise. Finally, various descriptor labels and definitions across the SCT were refined to be more precise, to better capture the intended concepts, and to align with the evolving Canadian labour market.
