SUMMARY:Microdata Analysis with Python using Statistics Canada Data
DESCRIPTION:Want to learn how to work with rich Canadian survey data? The 
 Public Use Microdata File (PUMF) from Statistics Canada offers detailed 
 microdata from national sample surveys—perfect for uncovering meaningful 
 insights.\n\nIn this hands-on workshop\, you’ll learn how to access\, 
 manage\, and analyze PUMF datasets. Through practical exercises\, you’ll 
 explore statistical techniques and develop skills to interpret and present 
 your findings effectively.\n\nBy the end of this session\, participants 
 will be able to:\n\n\n	Access and navigate Statistics Canada’s PUMF 
 datasets\n	Manage microdata for analysis using common tools\n	Apply basic 
 statistical methods to extract insights\n	Interpret and communicate results 
 from survey data\n\n\nThis workshop is ideal for students\, faculty\, 
 staff\, and community members interested in exploring national 
 data.\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its 
 information page. This virtual workshop will be recorded and shared on the
