Did You Know?
The Postsecondary Page from Statistics Canada

Volume 18 Issue 35 2010-09-03

If you need statistics on just about any aspect of postsecondary education, this Statistics Canada page is the place to find them.

The info is divided into several sections: Postsecondary; Data, Research and Analysis; Support for Faculty; Support for Students; and Additional Publications.

There’s a wealth of information here—everything from links to student awards to things like an educator listserv and historical stats.

The link to depository libraries offers “free access across Canada to many Statistics Canada publications and standard electronic products.” There’s also access to over 700 free StatsCan publications, along with information on how to cite Statistics Canada resources.

You’ll also find something called E-Stat, an “online learning tool specially designed for use by the educational community” that lets you “generate dynamic tables, customize graphs and maps using Statistics Canada’s Census of Population and socioeconomic data.”
