Select from the drop-down menu below to see all the details of how Canada, the 10 provinces and 35 cities/ CMAs perform at various points in time. National level data includes the entire Canadian population. However, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon and certain cities were excluded from lower levels of analysis given small sample sizes.
The Health data is from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) cycles 2000-01, 2005, 2010, 2014, and 2018. Accordingly, data is available for the 1996 - 2000, 2001 - 2005, 2006 - 2010, 2011 - 2015, and 2016 - 2020 time periods. For more information on the study population and methodology, click here.
