Funding, News and Announcements

The Atlantic Research Data Centre (ARDC) is pleased to host a free half-day information session on datasets that are available from Statistics Canada that are available for undertaking research related to Aboriginal peoples, including First Nations, Métis, and Inuit populations and communities.
 
The session will give participants an overview of the Statistics Canada data that can be used to address issues related to Aboriginal peoples’ demography, health and socio-economic conditions. This will include a presentation of the data currently available, focusing on the recently published 2012 Aboriginal People’s Survey and the 2011 National Household Survey, and will also discuss the use of soon-to-be released datasets, including linked data that hold significant potential for answering questions that were not possible using the traditional data.
 
Register in advance through the ARDC website. If you have any other questions, contact either Catherine Lyle (902-719-8886) or Monique Comeau (902-494-2037) at ardcad@dal.ca.
