Introduction:

The Dimensions Series CD-ROMs
 

The Dimensions series from the 2001 Census of Canada demonstrate the analytical potential of census information. This series of seven CDROMs was officially released at various times in 1999. These CDROMs are packaged with the software Beyond 20/20TM. With many powerful features, the browser allows the user to quickly and easily search and sort data, and to copy tables and charts to other Windows applications.

Series Description - The Dimensions Series  (2001 Census of Population) provides an in depth analysis of census data. More than 150 tables represent a variety of special interest subjects linking a number of Census variables. Statistical information is presented on themes of considerable public interest, with some tables examining historical trends and other tables detailing significant sub-populations. Data for geographical levels of Canada, Provinces and Territories are most widely represented with some data tables produced at the Census Metropolitan Area level. The Portrait of Official Language Communities in Canada and the Portrait of Aboriginal Population of Canada contain some information at the community level.  A detailed list of tables is included on each CDROM. Some tables show comparisons with data from earlier censuses to provide an historical perspective.
 

The data tables are grouped by common theme and are available on 7 different CDROMs.  For a detailed explanation of each CD, double-click on the title:
