Some surveys are conducted by mail and telephone from regional offices and deal mostly with business establishments. Others, such as household and agriculture surveys, are mostly conducted by telephone or in person by interviewers working from their homes.Within Statistics Canada, the role of Statistical Survey Operations (SSO) is to carry out the collection of survey data for statistical programs. The interviewers are critical to the success of Statistical Survey Operations. Without their efforts in conducting interviews, collecting survey information, and obtaining the desired survey results, Statistics Canada would not have the diverse data required to analyze or disseminate.

  Research Canvasser - Health Effects Monitoring Program

  The Health Effects Monitoring Program (YKHEMP) was established in 2017 to see whether residents of Yellowknife, Ndılǫ, and Dettah are exposed to higher levels of arsenic compared to other Canadians. Over 2,000 people, aged 3-79, participated in the 2017-2018 baseline sample collection. The monitoring will be repeated every 5 years to ensure the remediation activities at Giant Mine are not negatively impacting the local environment and people. The study is run by Dr. Laurie Chan through the University of Ottawa.Specifically, YKHEMP will determine current or baseline levels of arsenic exposure along with other metals before remediation work begins. Then, during remediation, new monitoring results will be compared to the baseline to ensure that participants’ arsenic levels are not increasing because of work being done at Giant Mine.YKHEMP is designed to complement the Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment (HHERA) study which concluded in 2017, and to meet the requirements of Measure 9 of the Mackenzie Valley Review Board’s Report of Environmental Assessment, concluded in 2014.Together, YKHEMP and HHERA studies will provide a comprehensive overview of the levels of contaminants currently present in the human population and the environment.
