Description
This webinar will provide you with an introduction to the Canadian Statistical Geospatial Explorer (CSGE). This interactive mapping tool was designed at Statistics Canada to give users the ability to explore our data, create custom maps and download geo-enabled data into users’ own workflows. The CSGE allows users to visualize data at granular levels such as dissemination areas and other geographies like provinces/territories and health regions. The CSGE includes a range of COVID-19 relevant indicators on health, demographic profile and socio-economic conditions of the Canadian population, all derived from Statistics Canada data holdings.
The webinar covers basic functionalities of the Canadian Statistical Geospatial Explorer such as:
- finding and exploring data;
- exporting data in various formats and bringing it into your workflow;
- customizing maps;
- changing base maps (satellite imagery, topography, etc.) to view data in a different context.
Intended Target Audience: This is an introductory webinar; it may be too basic for advanced data users.
Please note: Advanced registration is required.
