In Canada in 2023, the ethnic minority most frequently affected by hate crimes motivated by race or ethnicity was black people, which accounted for 784 hate crimes.By 2023, there were a total of 4,777 hate crimes reported to the police, of which 2,128 were racist hate crimes.

The 2006 Census estimated 5.1 million individuals who belonged to a visible minority. The Employment Equity Act defines visible minorities as 'persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour’. The visible minority population has grown steadily over the last 25 years. In 1981, when data for the four Employment Equity designated groups were first derived, the estimated 1.1 million visible minorities represented 4.7% of Canada's total population. In 1991, 2.5 million people were members of the visible minority population, 9.4% of the total population. The visible minority population further increased to 3.2 million in 1996, or 11.2% of the total population. By 2001, their numbers had reached an estimated 3.9 million or 13.4% of the total population. In 2006, the visible minorities accounted for 16.2% of Canada’s total population. This map shows the percentage of visible minorities (Black population) by census divisions.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, almost two out of five people of a Chinese background reported having experienced discrimination in Canada. They were the most commonly discriminated against visible minority group, followed by people of Filipino origin (31.6 percent) and Black people (27.6 percent). In comparison, about 12 percent of people who did not belong to a visible minority group said they had experienced discrimination since the beginning of the pandemic.

This project aims to capture population trends by estimating absolute abundance of American Black Bears (Ursus americanus) every 2-3 years and relative abundance of three forest mammals (American Black Bear, Grey Wolf (Canis lupus) and Black-tailed Deer (Odocoileus hemionus ssp.)) annually. Forty two 6.8 km2 grid cell units on the landscape are surveyed for animal presence three times per season between May and September using remote wildlife cameras. Cameras are cycled through the 42 sites over the course of the sampling season with each survey lasting ca. 2 weeks within a 6 week period. At present 2 methods of abundance estimation are being considered and compared: (1) A DNA-based spatially explicit capture-recapture method that will allow for unbiased estimation of absolute abundance and (2) A wildlife camera trapping method that allows to estimate site occupancy on the landscape as a measure of relative abundance. Forest carnivores provide an excellent resource for long term ecological integrity monitoring and the analysis of population changes over time. Ecosystems with top carnivores are thought to have high biodiversity and be functioning well in terms of nutrient and energy cycling.

In 2021, Canadians who were neither part of a visible minority nor the Indigenous population had an average total income at least 7,600 Canadian dollars higher than these population categories. The visible minorities with the highest average total income that year were people of Chinese, Latin American and Arab origin. Conversely, those with the lowest incomes were other visible minorities and the Native population.

American black ducks, native to eastern North America, have been the focus of significant international conservation and management programs. The combined USA and Canadian population has traditionally been managed as a single population; however black duck demographics may vary by region. To help understand potential regional differences in black ducks, we used satellite telemetry to assess migratory chronology and movements of black ducks wintering near Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada, near the northern limits of their wintering range where numbers are increasing. Wintering black ducks from Nova Scotia did not leave the Atlantic Flyway and included both longer-distance migrants (~ 1 500 km north) and locally-breeding individuals. None of our tracked ducks travelled south of Nova Scotia during any part of the annual cycle, indicating a population segment that never leaves Canada and is subject solely to Canadian harvest pressures. Band recovery data revealed that a small portion (2.4%) of ...
