Welcome
This guide is a tool to help you find Canadian governmental survey & administrative data. The principal national resource is Statistics Canada; however, departmental data is also available at the federal level. If you're looking for information about Saskatchewan in particular, visit the Provincial page. Increasingly, municipal gov'ts produce high-quality open data portals. Finally, some data is aggregated by subject across jurisdictions (i.e. health).
The primary resources are listed below:
-
