Sub-provincial household estimates and projections for various region types of British Columbia including Development Regions, Regional Districts, incorporated municipalities and other regions. The data set includes the number and average number of persons per household for every sub-provincial region. Customizable data breakdowns are available via BC Stats' Household Estimates & Projections application. Estimates: BC Stats releases annual household estimates for sub-provincial regions as of July 1st of every year. These estimates are calculated using a parametric model adjusted from Census data and the annual population estimates by BC Stats. Projections: BC Stats applies the same parametric model used for the household estimates to the population projections produced annually by BC Stats to produce household projections. The projections are produced for every region type described above. More information can be found on BC Stats’ Household Projections page.

The data literacy program put out a survey to assess the current level of data literacy across the BC Public Service. The nine survey questions identified perceived and expressed needs to support data skills development. The survey was posted on an internal government web page of the Digital Platforms and Data Division (OCIO) for two weeks in June 2019. 267 people responded to the survey. This number comprises 20 executive users, 93 data professionals and 154 business users from 24 ministries and associated public agencies. The original nine survey questions (including category definitions) are provided in both PDF and text formats. The anonymous results data is provided in CSV format with 'selected/not selected' for multiple choice questions, and 'NA' indicating no response for text-based questions. Some text-based questions (3) are not included in the CSV to maintain privacy of respondents.

This paper reports on a series of surveys conducted during the summer of 1973 to determine the economic and social value of Lakelse Lake to residents of British Columbia. The study contains information on the lake's commercial and recreational activities and on how members of the general public feel Lakelse Lake should be developed for future generations. Even though the primary purpose is to evaluate the importance of Lakelse Lake to all British Columbians, and to make recommendations on the direction of future development, attention is focussed on examining the importance of Lakelse Lake to those living in the northwestern part of the province. It is believed that the importance of Lakelse Lake is enhanced to a considerable degree by the fact that it is located in northern British Columbia where the number of alternative recreational opportunities is limited.

ABSTRACT Aim: Few long-term fire histories have been reconstructed in coastal temperate rain forests, and little is known regarding the spatial and temporal characteristics of lightning and human ignitions. We use a multidisciplinary approach to assess the impact, scale and ecological legacies of historic fires. Location: We focus on perhumid temperate rain forests located on the central coast of British Columbia, Canada. Methods: We reconstructed 700 years of temporal and spatial aspects of fire activity with 30 plots on Hecate Island using fire scars and forest-stand establishment. We then conducted a paired study of 20 former indigenous habitation and control sites on 15 islands to relate fire activity to patterns of human settlement. We mapped 15 years of lightning strike densities and use mixed-effects modelling to assess whether fire activity predicted the distribution and abundance of traditional plants. Results: Sixteen low- and mixed-severity fires were recorded from 1376 to 1893. The abundance of traditional plants and the density of western redcedar trees were best predicted by the location of former habitation sites and shorter mean fire intervals. Lightning is too rare to explain the pattern of fire activity in the study area. No fire activity was detected after 1893, coinciding with the relocation of indigenous groups from the study area. Main conclusions: Fire was strongly associated with former indigenous habitation sites during the periods of occupation. People likely utilized fire as a tool for resource management to influence the densities of specific plants by creating mosaics of vegetation in different stages of succession. By assessing the ecological impacts of historic fire events, we gain a better understanding of the abrupt changes that occurred in the 20th century. Our ability to understand present-day temperate rain forest ecosystems may be compromised if we underestimate the role of humans in driving historic fire activity.

In Ontario, British Columbia and in the three Prairie Provinces live 80% of the Aboriginal population of Canada. The most populous province, Ontario, is also the one with the highest number of Aboriginal people, (about 142 000). These people are often integrated in the large centres in the south of the province. British Columbia has almost as many Aboriginal people: 140 000. They are concentrated on Vancouver Island and around Vancouver, but can also be found almost everywhere in this province, which has the largest number of Indian reserves and settlements. In the Prairie Provinces, there are about 363 000 Aboriginal people, divided between Manitoba (128 700), Alberta (122 900) and Saskatchewan (111 300).

Sub-provincial population estimates and projections by age and gender for a variety of region types. Customizable breakdowns for counts and additional statistics are available via BC Stats' Population App. Estimates: A population estimate is a measure of the current or historical population. BC Stats annually releases total population estimates for sub-provincial region types. These estimates are consistent in aggregate with the July 1st provincial level estimates produced by Statistics Canada. More information can be found on BC Stats' Population Estimates page. Projections: A population projection is a forecast of future population growth. BC Stats applies the Component/Cohort-Survival method to project the population. This method "grows" the population from the latest base year estimate by forecasting births, deaths and migration by age. These forecasts are based on past trends modified to account for possible future changes and, consequently, should be viewed as only one possible scenario of future population. Projections are also released annually and are as of July 1st. The methodological document, P.E.O.P.L.E. Sub-provincial Population Projections: Methodology and Assumptions, is provided only for reference. More information can be found on BC Stats' Population Projections page.

The shíshálh Nation contains legally defined areas of land within the Province of British Columbia over which the shíshálh Nation exercises self-government, including the administration of resources and services available to its members, as described in the shíshálh Nation Self-Government Act of 1986. This spatial layer contains multipart features. Note that the name of the spatial layer is outdated; after the notification of retirement of the layer has been circulated the dataset will be recreated with the correct name. The source data for the geometry of the parcels was the federal "GeoBase - Aboriginal Lands" dataset, available under OGL - Canada. Parcels were adjusted to match provincial base mapping features, following the metes and bounds descriptions in the Letters Patent. A polygon dataset that includes all of the administrative areas currently in the Administrative Boundaries Management System (ABMS) is available here. A complimentary point dataset that defines the administrative areas is also available here. The shíshálh Nation Government District Enabling Act, [RSBC 1996] CHAPTER 416 is available here.

Between 1996 and 2001, the nation's population increased by 1 160 333 people, a gain of 4%. Canada has experienced one of the smallest census-to-census growth rates in its population. The Census counted 30 007 094 people in Canada on May 15, 2001, compared with 28 846 761 in 1996. Only three provinces and one territory registered growth rates above the national average of 4%. Alberta's population surged by 10.3%, compared with 5.9% between 1991 and 1996. Ontario gained 6.1%, British Columbia 4.9% and Nunavut 8.1%.

This map shows the distribution of the North American Indian population. The largest number of North American Indians live in Ontario (118 830); they make up 80% of the total Aboriginal population of that province. They are distributed in the large agglomerations of the south, but also in the north and west of the province. In British Columbia, 77% of Aboriginal people are Indians (113 315). These two provinces account for 42% of the Indian population in Canada. The three Prairie Provinces are home to another 42% of the North American Indian population.

Dataset Description: This dataset contains materials from a parent study within the Smart Discharges program of research. Materials include the parent study protocol and associated documents. See the Metadata section below for links to related publications and datasets. Background: Substantial mortality occurs after hospital discharge in children under 5 years old with suspected sepsis. A better understanding of risk and ability to mitigate risk for those who are most vulnerable is needed to reduce child mortality in resource limited settings. Methods: This is a prospective before-after study with staggered implementation at six Ugandan hospitals. Phase I is a prospective observational cohort study, while Phase II is a stepped-wedge intervention. The study also includes a long-term follow-up phase. The ultimate outcome to be studied is post-discharge mortality for children < 5 years old by 6 months after admission. The study has two objectives, each corresponding to a phase: Phase I: To refine and externally validate the existing post-discharge mortality prediction model. Phase II: To determine the effectiveness of a Smart Discharge program on post-discharge health seeking behaviour and mortality. We also seek to lay the groundwork to study the long-term effects of sepsis on morbidity over a 10 year period. Data Collection Methods: All data were collected at the point of care using encrypted study tablets. These data were then uploaded to a Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) database hosted at the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (Vancouver, Canada). At admission, trained study nurses systematically collected data on clinical, social and demographic variables. Following discharge, field officers contacted caregivers at 2 and 4 months by phone, and in-person at 6 months, to determine vital status, post-discharge health-seeking, and readmission details. Verbal autopsies were conducted for children who had died following discharge. Ethics Declaration: This study was approved by the Mbarara University of Science and Technology Research Ethics Committee (No. 15/10-16; No. 07/01-21), the Uganda National Institute of Science and Technology (HS 2207), and the University of British Columbia / Children & Women’s Health Centre of British Columbia Research Ethics Board (H16-02679).
