Since the beginning of time, people have kept records in the form of pictures, words and numbers in order to tell others how they live and what is important to them. Counting Canadians gives your students the chance to explore statistics in three ways, by using Statistics Canada's historical data, by using Statistics Canada's E-STAT site and by collecting their own data

Creating a demographic profile for an urban school neighbourhood using census tract data
		Looking at a demographic profile of a school neighbourhood can help provide an insight into the make-up of the population near the school. Knowledge of local demographic patterns can be useful to teachers. E-STAT provides this type of information from the Census for every municipality in Canada and for neighbourhood areas called census tracts within large urban centres. By extracting data of interest for census tracts surrounding a school, we can learn about the local school area.   In this specific activity, we learn how to use an urban school postal code to extract demographic data on family types for the census tract containing the school. We can use this same process to extract and graph any of hundreds of census characteristics for any urban school census tract. For smaller municipalities, E-STAT does not provide census data for areas finer than the municipality.
