Données Géospatiale

Important data gaps exist with respect to market intelligence regarding housing development on native reserves, remote communities, the start/completion for non-residential construction (commercial, industrial, institutional) and other non-res spending (infrastructure, mining, etc.).
Statistics Canada proposes to address these information gaps as well as improve the quality of the existing data through the use of emerging technology and by leveraging remote sensing data sources. To that end it will launch a pilot project for leveraging geospatial information to estimate the starts of construction for all building types within selected geographies on a monthly basis for a period of 9 months (with options for extension).
