Great to see that @StatCan_eng has published estimates of Spatial Access to opportunities (jobs, healthcare, schools etc) for the whole Canada at the dissemination block level https://t.co/7jc13HPmSu We're chuffed to know they used our #rstats📦r5r to calculate access by transit

[Jens von Bergmann @vb_jens]

StatCan's updated proximity index database came out today, at first glance it looks like an improvement over the earlier version. More here: https://t.co/40VP1q5Yt9

[BCNPHA @BCNPHA]

📢Released today! The new Canadian Rental Housing Index data reveals the alarming increase in rental costs across Canada.

This is an urgent call to action that more needs to be done to address affordability and housing quality.

[Canadian Centre for Housing Rights (CCHR) @HousingRightsCA]

Little is known about the scale and scope of the deeply affordable housing stock that remains in Canada.

We’re working with @purposeanalytix to address this gap by centralizing data in a new app: the Low-end of Market Rental Housing Monitor.

An important story. The lack of data transparency in this country is a huge problem that keeps many other stories like this out of public view.

Today, we're launching with eight public interest databases that will be updated in real-time. These databases are just the beginning. With your support, we will roll out dozens of public interest databases in the coming years.

[Purpose Analytics @purposeanalytix]

Great to see investment in data literacy for small- to medium-sized businesses, but notable that similar supports are not available at scale for the non-profit and charitable sectors.

Borrowing from @PatrickNGill's pithy quote: not every non-profit has a data scientist on staff

[The Globe and Mail @globeandmail]

Canadian small businesses are expanding – with a little help from data https://t.co/3yFTu4rFv2

One of our favourite features in our new CensusAggregator tool is the ability to share a selected region with others.
