Reports, Statistics, and City Plans

Many recent and relevant government reports in Canada can be found through the library's Quick Topic Search. However, as with many other kinds of resources, the Quick Topic Search will return many different kinds of resources. While we have some government documents available in print in the Langara Library, most is available for free online. We also have an online, interactive demographics database that will allow you to find very detailed Canadian demographic information.

Statistical Information

City Plans & Initiatives

Official city websites may have information or documentation on their city planning, healthy city plans, green initiatives, or other ideas. These sites will often be searchable by Google or other web search engines.

Government Reports & Parliamentary Debates

For other kinds of government reports and documents, including provincial or regional government, your best bet is to search through Google. I hate to say it, but government websites are often difficult to navigate and Google indexes many government resources better than the sites themselves.

One trick that you can use while searching Google is to search within a particular website. If you add:

site:.gc.ca

to your Google search, you will only get sites that come from the Canadian government website.

Adding site:vancouver.ca means that you will only get things from the City of Vancouver website.
