Data Liberation Initiative
Through the Statistics Canada Data Liberation Initiative (DLI), student, faculty and staff at TRU have access to Statistics Canada's non-confidential microdata files, databases, and geographic files. Access to these files is restricted to the TRU community and their usage is governed by an agreement between TRU and Statistics Canada: see the Data Acquisition and Use Agreement.
Raw data files require knowledge of SPSS, SAS, or an open source alternative such as PSPP, and geographic files are available in two formats: MapInfo or ArcInfo.
To access data available through the DLI, please contact Amy Paterson.
