Remaining useful service life ratios of non-residential capital stock, 2021
The lower investment observed in many non-residential assets in 2020 continued to weigh on the ratio of Canadian non-residential capital stock’s remaining useful service life in 2021. The ratio was down from 64.1% in 2020 to 63.7% in 2021, its lowest level since 2010.
Circumstances surrounding passenger vehicle fatalities in Canada, 2019
Motor vehicles are a primary mode of transportation used every day by Canadians, and their usage is growing. The number of motor vehicle registrations for on-road use increased by 42% from 17.9 million in 2000 to 25.4 million in 2019 and the net volume of motor gasoline sold increased by nearly 20% during this same period. Despite the increasing number of registered vehicles and the increase in amount of gasoline sold in Canada during this 20-year period, the number of deaths resulting from motor vehicle collisions (e.g., passenger vehicles, pedestrians, transport trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, construction vehicles and recreational vehicles) decreased by 31% from 2,672 in 2000 to 1,856 in 2019.
Census of Environment: Urban greenness, 2022
Urban greenness is one measure that can be used to assess the condition and health of an urban environment, which contributes to more liveable communities and overall quality of life for residents. Areas with trees and vegetation improve local air quality, increase cooling effects, reduce wind speeds, absorb water runoff, provide habitat for wildlife and offer recreational opportunities for people living in local communities.
