Environics Analytics is producing a web seminar series corresponding to the 2011 Census from Statistics Canada. Each commentary provides expert analysis from our Chief Demographer Dr. Doug Norris. Doug Norris joined EA in 2006 after nearly 30 years with Statistics Canada, where he served as Director General of Social and Demographic Statistics. His insights provide attendees with knowledge on how to interpret and use the census data to their advantage.
Making Sense of the Census - Part 4
Dr. Doug Norris discusses the results of the fourth release of 2011 Census data. The session focuses on three measures of language knowledge and use: mother tongue, languages spoken at home and knowledge of English and French. This information represents the first time that the entire population was asked questions exploring home language and knowledge of Canada’s official languages. And the results are expected to reflect recent trends in immigration over the last five years. In this webinar, Doug Norris looks at mother tongue data at the national and provincial levels, the extent to which immigrants continue to speak their mother tongue at home and the extent to which Canadians are able to speak both official languages.
Originally webcast November 6th, 2012. The duration is 41 minutes.
Making Sense of the Census - Part 3
Forget about the Beaver Cleaver family. On October 3rd, Dr. Doug Norris presented a webinar on the results from the third release of 2011 Census data. The session focused on new data indicating the increasing diversity among family and household types across Canada. And as the many different domestic configurations ripple through communities, businesses and government agencies will need to adapt to a new “normal”. Doug discussed the latest marital, family status and dwellings data—and the implications for Canadian business.

The session focused on population growth patterns at the national, provincial and metropolitan area levels over the last five years, with a comparison to the earlier period 2001-2006. The results showed a continuation of some population growth trends as well as some surprising turnaround stories. Doug also compared population changes in the largest metropolitan areas of Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, citing population growth winners and losers and gave special mention to areas undergoing significant change. In addition, he explored the underlying trends in births, deaths and migration that determine the growth of population.
