Edmonton Forward Sortation Area (FSA) data provided by Statistics Canada (see https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2011/geo/bound-limit/bound-limit-2016-eng.cfm).

Adapted from Census Forward Sortation Area Boundary File, 2016 Census. Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 92-179-X, 2021-02-05. This does not constitute an endorsement by Statistics Canada of this product.

The changes made to the original Statistics Canada data are as follows:

1) The data has been filtered to include only those FSAs with boundaries that are wholly or partially within Edmonton's city boundary, or touch that boundary. 2) The boundaries have been reprojected to LL-WGS84 (required by Socrata). 3) A multipolygon geometry attribute has been created to facilitate mapping.

The 2011 Census Forward Sortation Area (FSA) Boundary File depicts the boundaries of 1,621 forward sortation areas (identified by the first three characters of the postal code) derived from postal codesOM captured from the 2011 Census of Population questionnaires.Through analysis of the postal codesOM reported by census households, a single FSA was assigned to each dissemination block based on the most frequently reported FSA for the dissemination block. Unreported dissemination blocks were assigned an FSA based on proximity to reported dissemination blocks in the same province or territory or nearest Canada Post Corporation delivery installation.The 2011 Census FSA Boundary File provides a framework for mapping and spatial analysis. It is available in two types: cartographic and digital. The cartographic boundary file depicts the 2011 FSAs with the shoreline of the major land mass of Canada and its coastal islands. The digital boundary file depicts the full extent of the 2011 FSAs, including the coastal water area.

The 2001 Census Forward Sortation Area (FSA) Boundary File contains the boundaries of 1,577 forward sortation areas (the first three characters of a postal code) derived from postal codes captured from the 2001 Census of Population questionnaires. Through analysis of the postal codes reported by Census households, a single Forward Sortation Area was assigned to each reported block based on the most frequently reported Forward Sortation Area for the block. Unreported blocks were assigned a Forward Sortation Area based on proximity to reported blocks in the same province or territory. The product consists of two separate layers: a boundary file whose extents are those of the National Geographic Base, and a cartographic boundary file which incorporates hydrography (the shoreline around Canada) with the Forward Sortation Area boundaries. The co-ordinates are in latitude/longitude and are based on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83).

The Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) by Forward Sortation Area (FSA) statistics present data based on the information that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) collected and processed for all eligible individuals for a specific tax year broken down by FSA. These tables contain aggregate data on the total CCR recipient count and the total payment amounts broken down by FSA.

The CLB is available to children born on or after January 1, 2004, who are from low-income families or getting benefits under the Children’s Special Allowance Act. The CLB provides an initial payment of $500, and $100 for each year of eligibility up to age 15 (to a maximum of $2,000) and is retroactive. This means CLB payments can be requested for years the beneficiary was eligible, even for years before they were named in an RESP. Personal contributions are not required to receive the CLB. The table consists of quarterly data beginning with the period ending on December 31, 2006. The first column presents the number of children who have ever received the CLB, the second column presents the number of eligible children in the given Forward Sortation Area (sourced from the Canada Revenue Agency), and the third column presents the participation rate or the proportion of children receiving the CLB in relation to the eligible population. All population counts of 30 or below are censored due to privacy issues. ********************************************************* A methodological note on the cumulative CLB file - as of March 14, 2024 The cumulative CLB file is an update of the CLB data from consecutive editions of the Quarterly National CLB report by Forward Sortation Area (FSA). The current file is updated using CLB data from the last four quarters (Q1 2024 through to Q4 2024) that can be found in the Q4 2023 National CLB report. The Q4 2024 report also contains the updated FSA values from the December 2024 release of Statistics Canada’s Postal Code Conversion File. In this edition one new FSA value (V4Y) was created and no FSA values were removed. Updates of the historical and recent CLB data, in the cumulative file, are adjusted to reflect the new and old FSA values. All counts of 30 or under are not included and are represented with an asterisk in the Quarterly National CLB report by FSA. The Quarterly National CLB report by FSA presents CLB data by FSA and does not include the CLB aggregated data at either the national or province and territory levels. As of January 1, 2022, individuals eligible for the CLB who were born in 2004 or after but did not receive it yet can apply for the benefit when they turn 18. As a result, adult beneficiaries (i.e., those who receive it between the ages of 18 and 20) are included in beneficiary counts from 2022 onward. The primary source of data that is used to produce these numbers comes from the Canada Education Savings Program’s administrative data. Some updates (e.g., reversals, repayments, data errors, and reporting delays) may have been introduced in the Canada Education Savings Program’s administrative data that could affect the previous reporting periods. As a result, the values in the latest quarterly report supersede the previous quarterly reports. Please note that the Open Government Portal provides data that add to those already available in the Canada Education Savings Program Annual Statistical Review. The most recent version of the report, which includes data up to 2023, was published on October 7, 2024 and can be found here: https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/student-financial-aid/education-savings/reports/statistical-review.html
