Statistics Canada 2001 Census Files

INTRODUCTION: Statistics Canada produces a variety of spatial products associated with the Census. These files include Census cartographic boundary files, Road network files, and Skeletal road network files. They come in ArcInfo (export) format, or in MapInfo format. Note that Reference maps are freely available on the Statistics Canada website.

ACCESS: These files are available to current faculty, students and staff of the University of Manitoba, for non-commercial purposes. To access these products, please contact Gary Strike at 474-7086 or by email at gary_strike@umanitoba.ca. We are in the process of installing the 2001 Census of Canada spatial files on the GIS Workstation, located behind the Reference Desk in Elizabeth Dafoe Library.
