4000 Year Paleo-Storm Proxy Reconstruction from the Magdalen Islands, QC, Canada
No full textAtlantic Canada frequently experiences major storms, particularly tropical cyclones transitioning into post-tropical storms. Long-term records are scarce, with most studies focusing on marine and coastal overwash, and none on aeolian sediment records. To address this gap, we analyzed grain-size and geochemical data from two ombrotrophic peatlands in Quebec's Magdalen Islands, using loss-on-ignition and micro-X-ray fluorescence core-scanning to establish and examine paleo-storm proxies. This dataset includes age-models based on lead-210 and carbon-14, storm proxies (grain-size and Titanium measurements), and paleo-storm frequency reconstructions for both sites, covering the past 4000 years. This data provide new insights into past storm activity in the region

Fichier des codes postaux par circonscriptions électorales fédérales [Canada], juin 2001, Recensement de la population 1996
No full textLe FCPCEF est un fichier numérique qui établit un lien entre le code postal à six caractères et les circonscriptions électorales fédérales du Canada (également appelées circonscriptions fédérales).
Selon Élections Canada, une circonscription électorale fédérale (CEF) est un endroit ou un territoire dont les habitants sont en droit d’élire un député à la Chambre des communes. Les limites légales et les descriptions des CEF sont du ressort du Directeur général des élections et sont généralement révisées tous les dix ans d’après les résultats du recensement décennal. Selon l’Ordonnance de représentation de 1996, dernière révision des limites des circonscriptions électorales fédérales, il y a 301 CEF au Canada
Certains codes postaux chevauchent les limites d’une ou de plusieurs CEF. Les utilisateurs apparient souvent le code postal de leur ensemble de données à la CEF du FCPCEF. Lorsqu’ils effectuent ce jumelage, les utilisateurs doivent se rappeler que le code postal de leurs données peut renvoyer à l’adresse postale d’une personne, et pas nécessairement à son adresse résidentielle. De même, le code postal de l’adresse d’une entreprise n’indique pas nécessairement l’emplacement des activités de l’entreprise.
La date de référence pour les codes postaux inclus dans le FCPCEF est la même date que celle retenue pour les codes postaux compris dans le Fichier de conversion des codes postaux (FCCP) diffusé en même temps que la présente version du FCPCEF</p
Postal Code Federal Riding File [Canada], October 2010, Census of Canada 2006
No full textThe Postal Codes by Federal Ridings File (PCFRF) is a digital file which provides a link between the six- character postal code and Canada’s federal electoral districts (which are also known as federal ridings).
Elections Canada defines a federal electoral district (FED) as any place or territorial area entitled to return a Member of Parliament (MP) to serve in the House of Commons. Federal electoral district legal limits and descriptions are the responsibility of the Chief Electoral Officer, and are usually revised every ten years after the results of the decennial census. There are 308 FEDs in the 2003 Representation Order, the most recent revision of the federal electoral districts limits.
Some postal codes straddle one or more FED boundaries. The ‘unique link’ variable indicates if the postal code is linked to one or more FEDs. Users often link the postal code in their data set to the FED in the PCFRF. When performing this link, users should be aware that the postal code in their data set may represent a mailing address used by a person, not necessarily where the person actually resides. Similarly, a postal code in a business-based mailing address may not necessarily indicate where the business activity took place.
The reference date for postal codes contained in the PCFRF is the same date as the postal codes contained in the Postal Code Conversion File (PCCF) product released concurrently with this version of the PCFRF</p

Postal Code Conversion File Plus [Canada], Version 3J, May 2002, Census of Canada 1996
No full textThe PCCF+ is a SAS© control program and set of associated datasets derived from the PCCF, a 1996 postal codeOM population weight file, the Geographic Attribute File, Health Region boundary files, and other supplementary data. PCCF+ automatically assigns a range of Statistics Canada standard geographic areas and other geographic identifiers based on postal codesOM.
PCCF+ differs from the PCCF in that it:
Uses population-weighted random allocation for many postal codesOM that link to more than one geographic area.
Options are available for institutional postal codesOM.
Procedures are included to link partial postal codesOM to geographic identifiers where possible.
Problem records and diagnostics are provided in the program output, along with reference information for possible solutions.
The geographic coordinates, which represent the standard geostatistical areas linked to each postal codesOM on the PCCF, are commonly used to map the distribution of data for spatial analysis (e.g., clients, activities). In April 1983, the Geography Division released the first version of the PCCF, which linked postal codes to 1981 census geographic areas and included geographic coordinates. PCCF+ was first created using the 1986 census and has been updated regularly with population weight files calculated for each census from 1991 through 1996.
The purpose of the PCCF+ is to provide a link between six-character postal codesOM produced by the Canada Post Corporation (CPC), standard 1996 Census geographic areas (such as dissemination areas, census subdivisions, and census tracts) produced by Statistics Canada, and supplementary administrative areas and neighbourhood income quintiles. Postal codesOM do not respect census geographic boundaries and so may be linked to more than one standard geographic area, or assigned to more than one set of coordinates. Therefore, one postal codeOM may be represented by more than one record. The PCCF product, produced by Statistics Canada, provides links between postal codes and all recorded matches to census geography. PCCF+ uses the PCCF but provides additional functionality in that it uses a population-weighted matching process for some residential postal codesOM where more than one geographic code is possible. PCCF+ also provides routines for institutional postal codesOM and for historic postal codesOM. The purpose of this product is not to validate postal codesOM or the PCCF.</p
Temporal patterns of greenhouse gas emissions from two small thermokarst lakes in Nunavik, Canada
No full textSmall thermokarst lakes, formed by the thawing of ice-rich permafrost, are significant sources of greenhouse gases (GHG). Most estimates of emissions rely solely on daily measurements, which may bias annual flux calculations. In this study, we combined GHG flux measurements from two intensive summer campaigns with nearly two years of continuous temperature, oxygen, and conductivity profiling in two small (<200 m²) thermokarst lakes in Nunavik (56°33'28.8"N, 76°28'46.5"W), Canada. One campaign occurred during a colder summer (0.7°C above the seasonal mean) and the other during a warmer one (2.6°C above the seasonal mean), with one lake being humic and sheltered and the other more transparent and wind-exposed. Average diffusive fluxes of CO₂ (22.1 ± 20.5 mmol m⁻² d⁻¹; mean ± standard deviation) and CH₄ (14.3 ± 14.2 mmol CO₂-eq m⁻² d⁻¹) were consistent with values reported for similar thermokarst lakes, while N₂O fluxes were negligible (–0.8 ± 1.3 mmol CO₂-eq m⁻² d⁻¹). Emissions increased 4-fold during the warmer summer, alongside the emergence of a diel trend, where daytime (09:00-17:00) CO₂ fluxes increased by 47%, CH₄ by 95%, and negative N₂O fluxes by 75% relative to nighttime fluxes. Moreover, ebullitive CH₄ fluxes were six times higher than diffusive fluxes in the humic, sheltered lake, reaching 117.0 ± 44.7 mmol CO₂-eq m⁻² d⁻¹. Seasonal flux estimates indicate that emissions peaked in fall and spring, as they were almost four times higher than those in summer. Our findings highlight the importance of including both daytime and nighttime measurements, as well as storage fluxes (emitted in spring and fall), to improve the accuracy of GHG emission estimates from thermokarst lakes
The PREVENT-COVID in Seniors Study: PRospEctiVe EvaluatioN of immuniTy after COVID-19 vaccines in Seniors [PREVENT-COVID-19, study data contributed to the CITF Databank]
No full textBackground: There is evidence that suggests that vaccines are effective against infection, but it is unclear how age and certain antibodies from previous infections influence their level of effectiveness.
Aims of the CITF-funded study: This study aimed to compare short-term and long-term immune responses to COVID-19 vaccines among older adults and seniors. Specifically, they aimed to compare the antibody levels, quantity, and function after vaccination by vaccine type and age.
Methods: This cohort study enrolled participants in British Columbia who were receiving their first or second dose of the BNT162b2 (Pfizer), mRNA-1273 (Moderna), or ChAdOx1-S COVID-19 vaccine and over the age of 19, pivoting to oversampling older adults (50+) to address high-priority knowledge gaps. Participants answered an online questionnaire at baseline and provided a blood sample via DBS or venipuncture at baseline and at each follow up (7 times at regular intervals).
Contributed dataset contents: The datasets include 772 participants who completed baseline surveys between February 2021 and May 2022. 96% of these participants gave one or more blood samples between February 2021 and June 2023. A total of 3564 samples were collected. Variables include data in the following areas of information: demographics (date of birth, sex, gender, ethnicity), general health (weight and height, flu vaccine, medical conditions), SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, and serology (antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 RBD, nucleocapsid, and spike proteins)
