Later this month, Statistics Canada will be offering a webinar on the Canadian Housing Statistics Program and an information session on data visualization for free. Both events are being held in English and French and are intended for basic data users. See below for more information from Statistics Canada:

Webinar: A Brief Overview of the Canadian Housing Statistics Program

Description: This webinar will provide you with an overview of the Canadian Housing Statistics Program (CHSP) and its key deliverables. The CHSP is an innovative data project that leverages existing data sources and transforms them into new and timely indicators on Canadian housing. Topics covered by the program include characteristics of residential properties (assessment value, property type, period of construction, living area) and their owners (including income, age, residency, and immigration status, legal-type of non-individual owners).

Intended Target Audience: This is an introductory webinar; it may be too basic for advanced data users.

Information Session: Considerations for Displaying Data using Graphs

Description: One of the main objectives of statistics is to distill data into information which can be summarized and easily understood. Data visualizations, which include graphs and charts, are powerful ways of doing so. The purpose of this information session is to provide examples of common graphs and charts, highlight practical advice to help the audience choose the right display for their data, and identify what to avoid and why. An overall objective is to build capacity and increase understanding of fundamental techniques which foster accurate and effective dissemination of statistics and research findings.

Intended Target Audience: This is an introductory information session; it may be too basic for advanced data users.

How do these sessions differ?
Webinars are live online presentations that conclude with a poll. Information sessions are a new series to Statistics Canada. They are live online presentations that may include interactive components during the sessions, will feature a question and answer period, and conclude with a poll.

Please note: Advanced registration is required. We ask that you please register early, as spaces are limited for the information sessions.
