Residential Telephone Service Survey November, 2001 [Canada]
Borealis
Statistics Canada. Special Surveys Division — 2023-09-19 The latest quarter of the Residential Telephone Service Survey was conducted by Statistics Canada in November 2001 with the cooperation and support of Bell Canada as a supplement to the Labour Force Survey. Bell Canada and other companies are from time to time negotiating local service pricing options for phone rates with the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunication Commission. Penetration rates are the most reliable indicator of affordability as there is no price range that can be identified as affordable or not affordable. As a result, the importance of monitoring any changes in phone penetration rates and analysing the reasons for non-subscribers is necessary to properly guide regulators in decisions about rate increases, decreases or subsidies.

Residential Telephone Service Survey December, 2005 [Canada]
Borealis
Statistics Canada. Special Surveys Division — 2023-09-19 A sample of approximately 42,000 respondents is used for this survey (five out of six rotation groups). The survey data are collected using Computer Assisted Interviewing (CAI). The first data collection procedure took place during Novembers LFS week in 1996. This microdata file is prepared biannually and contains the variables from the survey, plus geographical variables from the LFS (province, census metropolitan area, urban/rural breakdown). No other variables from the LFS are added to the file. <br> Concern had been expressed in 1996 that the mechanism for monitoring penetration rates was not adequate in providing timely results to indicate whether Canadian penetration rates fall as a result of increases in local rates. At that time, data on penetration rates were available from the Household Facilities and Equipment Survey (HFE) but only on an annual basis. Given the changes that were and will be occurring in the basic residential telephone rates, an annual survey was not adequate to accurately reflect the impact that these changes are having on Canadian telephone subscribership. <br> The latest Residential Telephone Service Survey (RTSS) was conducted by Statistics Canada in December 2005 with the cooperation and support of Bell Canada. There are two main objectives which Bell Canada has outlined. They are: (I) to collect information on penetration rates across Canada (and make them available by province); (ii) to collect information on non-subscriber characteristics.

Residential Telephone Service Survey December, 2006 [Canada]
Borealis
Statistics Canada. Special Surveys Division — 2023-09-19 The Residential Telephone Services Survey (RTSS) collects information about telephone service across Canada. Bell Canada and other companies are from time to time negotiating local service pricing options for phone rates with the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunication Commission. The telephone service subscription rate is the most reliable indicator of affordability. Monitoring any changes in the phone service subscription rate and analysing the reasons for non-subscription will help regulators make decisions about cost increases, decreases or subsidies. <br> In 1996 Statistics Canada was approached by Stentor Resource Centre Inc. to conduct a quarterly survey in order to monitor the residential telephone service subscription rate across Canada. The management of the survey was transferred from Stentor to Bell Canada in the fall of 1998. The survey was conducted bi-annually in 2000, 2001, 2002 (May and November) and 2004 (May and December). In 2003, it was conducted once (in May). It was determined that sufficient information could be obtained by conducting the survey once a year so in 2005, the RTSS was conducted in December only.

Household Internet Use Survey, 2000 [Canada]
Borealis
Statistics Canada. Special Surveys Division — 2023-09-19 The Household Internet Use Survey (HIUS) was conducted a fourth time in January 2001 for Science Innovation and Electronic Information Division at Statistics Canada by Special Surveys Division of Statistics Canada. The annual HIUS collects detailed data on the Internet activities of Canadian households. It reports on Canadians using the Internet and measures the ext ent of their use, location of use, frequency of use and their reasons for using or not using the Internet. In 1999, data on electronic commerce from home was provided. In 2000, users can study the growth of e-commerce by tracking orders, purchases or use of Internet that influence acquisition of products or services. The 2000 HIUS changed its reporting period to cover the full 2000 calendar year. The Household Internet Use Survey (HIUS) was conducted in October 1997, October 1998, November 1999 and by Statistics Canada. The 2000 survey (conducted January 2001) examined Canadian households' access to the home, in the workplace and in a number of other locations. The resulting data and analysis sheds light on relationships between usage and location of use, household income, as well as other demographic factors.

National Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating, 2000 [Canada]: Volunteering File
Borealis
Statistics Canada. Special Surveys Division — 2023-09-19 The National Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating (NSGVP) is one component of the Voluntary Sector Initiative, a collaborative program of the federal government and the voluntary sector. The 2000 NSGVP was conducted by Statistics Canada in October, November and early December of 2000 on behalf of the Voluntary Sector Initiative and in partnership with federal policy departments and voluntary organizations. The content of the 2000 NSGVP and its methodology are, for the most part, identical to that of the 1997 Survey. The 2000 survey is based on a representative sample of 14,724 Canadians aged 15 and over who were asked how they gave money and other resources to individuals and to organizations, volunteered time to help others and to enhance their communities, and participated in the practices of active citizenship. The survey, given its scale, provides the most comprehensive assessment of giving, volunteering and participating ever undertaken in Canada or, to the best of our knowledge, in the world. The 2000 survey replicates the 1997 surveyand enables us to begin to track both changes in contributory behaviours and changes in the characteristics of those Canadians making contributions. Any trend in these behaviours has important implications for Canadian society. The results from the survey allow this report to paint a portrait of the ways Canadians contribute to society through their monetary and voluntary support of others. Charitable giving encompasses the following types of charitable giving which were measured in this survey: cash donations, in-kind donations and indirect financial support.

Survey on Work Reduction, 1985 [Canada]
Borealis
Statistics Canada. Special Surveys Division — 2023-09-19 The objectives of this survey were: <br> - to estimate the hours of work that could be made available by a voluntary reduction in work-time by employed labour force participants, excluding the self-employed; <br> - to determine whether those who voluntarily reduce their work-time would use their extra time in activities that would have an indirect impact on the availability of employment; <br> - to determine which is the primary factor of interest in reducing work-time: dissatisfaction with own work, the weight of responsibilities or the attractiveness of other activities; <br> - to determine preferences for various reduced work-time patterns (ie. shorter work day, shorter work week, or work fewer years); <br> - to determine what regional, occupational, income or other demographic characteristics are associated with preferences for increased work-time.

Residential Telephone Service Survey November, 1996 [Canada]
Borealis
Statistics Canada. Special Surveys Division — 2023-09-19 The first quarter was conducted in November 1996 as a supplement to the Labour Force Survey. Currently, Bell Canada and other companies, through Stentor Resource Centre Inc, are negotiating local service pricing options for phone rates with the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunication Commission. Penetration rates are the most reliable indicator of affordability as there is no price range that can be identified as affordable or not affordable. As a result, the importance of monitoring any changes in phone penetration rates and analysing the reasons for non-subscribers is necessary to properly guide regulators in decisions about rate increases, decreases or subsidies.

Survey of Approaches to Educational Planning, 1999 [Canada]
Borealis
Statistics Canada. Special Surveys Division — 2023-09-19 Statistics Canada was approached by Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC) to conduct a survey to examine how Canadians are preparing their children for post-secondary education. The objective was to examine both the financial and 'cultural' aspects of preparation. Financial preparation includes parent's expectations of the cost of their children's post-secondary education as well as the amount and type of savings that have been made for their education. Cultural aspects include parent's involvement in their children's schooling and the provision of educational resources. Saving for post-secondary education is not an activity that is restricted to parents of school-aged children. Many other individuals, such as grandparents, also save for a child's post-secondary education. In order to obtain educational savings data for all households in Canada, HRDC opted to include households without children in the survey as well. These households were asked financial savings questions only. The inclusion of these households allows statements to be made about all educational savings in Canada, not just savings by households with children. The 1999 Survey of Approaches to Educational Planning is the first survey conducted by Statistics Canada to collect detailed information about how Canadians prepare their children for post-secondary education. Given the growing importance of post-secondary education in Canada and recent increases in the costs, the survey will provide a key first look at how Canadians are getting ready for their children's post-secondary education.
