  7. What the system can do now • Dynamic, user specified, tools to present data at neighbourhood or census sub-division levels in tables, charts and maps • Data at other levels in tables and charts only (e.g. school level data) • Allow user to filter data by geography, sub-category, year • Data table, chart and map export function • Metadata storage (technical notes/information)

  9. What the system can do now – Advanced Features • Ability to add external data when viewing map • Link to other spatial data portals to import map layers • System security settings for “Public” and or “Registered” (can limit access by variable, by census year, or by geography)

  10. Data Currently Available • Census: ’96, ’01, and ‘06 + ‘08 census based population projections for Neighbourhood and Census Sub-divisions (rural areas outside S’toon within SHR) • Registered user ability to export entire census profile (approximately 2200 variables) • Public user ability to view and export 220 variables

  12. Sample Use Cases for CVC • Community Characteristics for children in care – decision support tool • Better ability to match foster families with kids in need of care and prepare children for characteristics of community • Data sources include census, education, community resources, justice, SES, geographic etc…

  13. School Community Councils – resource allocation tool Local information about a community’s economic, social and health needs that can lead to resources and supports for learning and well being of students, school, parents and community Data needs include census, health, health disparity, economic, employment, crime, custom geographies, etc… Sample Use Cases for CVC

  15. CVC - Longer Term Vision • Flexible Geographic boundaries • Requires dynamic aggregation at smaller levels of geography • Real-time data access from partner organizations • Pulls data from existing data sources • Enhanced security features as required
