The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) conducts biosafety and biosecurity inspections to verify organizations’ compliance with the Human Pathogens and Toxins Act (HPTA), the Human Pathogens and Toxins Regulations (HPTR), and the applicable sections of the Health of Animals Act and Health of Animals Regulations (HAA/HAR).
The inspections allow PHAC to determine if an organization meets the conditions of its
Pathogen and Toxin Licence, as well as to identify deficiencies and provide corrective
measures to prevent serious safety risks.
The Skills and Competencies Taxonomy streamlines the terminology of hundreds of occupational descriptors used in the labour market. Each descriptor is associated with one of the seven main categories (skills, abilities, personal attributes, knowledge, interests, work context and work activities), which are then further divided into sub-categories.
The Taxonomy improves the comparability of concepts and their application throughout occupations and sectors. Its also complements other federal, provincial, and territorial employment programs involving skills identification and utilization, and facilitates a Pan-Canadian dialogue on competencies.
The Skills and Competencies Taxonomy was constructed based on internal products (e.g., Career Handbook, Skills and Knowledge …
Glacier National Park provides important habitat for a wide range of bird species. As the most diverse land vertebrates, birds are an important indicator of ecosystem health. Yearly data are collected at these sites using audio recorders to determine trends in diurnal avian species abundance by species. Data can provide a number of ecological indices such as the effects of land use and climate change.
Health Canada has developed a series of research tools. These tools assess the extent a group of individuals are following Canada’s food guide:
- Healthy Eating Food Index
- Canadian Food Intake Screener
- Canadian Eating Practices Screener
This page provides detailed information on the Healthy Eating Food Index (HEFI). The pdf document entitled "Calculating HEFI scores" describes how to calculate HEFI-2019 scores. The accompanying data files provide the user with the SAS macro and the information to apply the SAS macro.
For more information on the screeners, please see: https://open.canada.ca/data/en/info/4f1c44a6-1ecf-4da7-a1da-058b1ff9ce06
The following standard is used to evaluate Parks Canada Agency’s goal to manage wildland fire and conduct prescribed fire activities to restore and maintain the ecological integrity of park lands. A 20% natural fire cycle is the set percentage that allows fire to play a role as a natural disturbance in ecosystems while being realistic and achievable considering physical and financial constraints, the variability in wildland fire regimes in MRGNP and the need to balance public safety. The 20% long term average was obtained by analysing the variation in area burned in national parks of different sizes, fire regimes and …

Educational Assistance Payments (EAPs) are amounts paid from a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) to an eligible youth to assist with post-secondary education expenses. EAPs consist of the Canada Education Savings Grant, the Canada Learning Bond, provincial education savings incentives, and income earned on the money saved in the RESP. Payments to a beneficiary are made according to the specific terms of the RESP.
Post-Secondary Education (PSE) withdrawals are drawn from the contributions made to the youth’s RESP, and exclude education savings incentive amounts and income earned (i.e., EAPs).
The sum of EAPs and PSE withdrawals represents the amount of …
Contributions refer to the amount of savings deposited into a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) on behalf of a child. Earnings on RESP savings can grow tax-free until the money is withdrawn to finance the child’s post-secondary education.
This dataset presents the number of beneficiaries receiving contributions and the amount contributed to their RESPs in 2021 by Forward Sortation Area (FSA), which were obtained from the Canada Education Savings Program (CESP) administrative data.
Population counts of 30 or below (and their corresponding dollar values) are suppressed due to privacy issues and are replaced by an asterisk in the dataset.

The Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) is money offered by the Government of Canada to help families start saving early for their children’s post-secondary education. The CESG is calculated based on contributions made to a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) for an eligible beneficiary and consists of two components: the Basic and Additional CESG.
The Basic CESG is a 20% payment on the first $2,500 of contributions made into an RESP each year. Beneficiaries are eligible to receive the Basic CESG up to the end of the calendar year in which they turn 17. The Basic CESG is available to …
