SUMMARY:Exploring Statistics Canada Data Resources
DESCRIPTION:Statistics Canada provides access to a rich collection of data 
 resources that support research\, teaching\, policy development\, and 
 evidence-based decision-making. From Census data and national surveys to 
 public use microdata files and geographic datasets\, these resources offer 
 valuable insights into Canada's population\, economy\, health\, and 
 society. Through guided demonstrations\, participants will learn how to 
 navigate Statistics Canada's online platforms\, locate relevant datasets\, 
 and understand the different types of statistical products available for 
 analysis.\n\nThis workshop introduces the core data products and tools 
 offered by Statistics Canada\, while also highlighting library-supported 
 resources that expand access to Canadian data. Whether you are beginning a 
 research project\, looking for data to support coursework\, or seeking 
 reliable Canadian statistics\, this session will provide a practical 
 foundation for finding\, accessing\, and working with Statistics Canada 
 data.\n\nThis session is ideal for students\, faculty\, staff\, and 
 researchers who are new to Statistics Canada data resources or looking to
