Third Data Update

Charts






Unanswered Questions

1. With the original dataset, I have not been able to answer specifically where these shelters are across Canada and the number of shelters per province.

2. I have also not been able to answer how many different types of shelters women have access to in Canada.

How would you get the data?

1. Statistics Canada and CANSIM would likely have data on the amount of shelters per province so I could do a deeper search on their database. If there is data I am unable to find, I could try sending an FOI request to Statistics Canada asking for more information about women's shelters in Canada and this specific survey/study. Getting this type of data could be useful for looking into which province has the most women's shelters and which province may need more support in this area.

2. Once again, Statistics Canada and CANSIM would be the best place to start looking for this kind of data. Looking at this kind of data would give me a better idea of the types of shelters available in Canada and which province(s) have the most diversified range of services available.

  1. I like the question you asked, I think it would provide important information on well well Canada is doing, as well as each province when it comes to shelters and providing safe spaces for women. My only suggestion would be to select a different colour for your first char, the teal on black is a little harsh on the eyes (for me personally).

  2. These are some pretty good charts. They're not too complicated and pretty easy to read. In stark contrast to iamscego, I find both charts to be fine. I also find the choice of red in the second chart to be fitting, given the content.

  3. Hi Yaunna,
    I like that you did not merge the data into one chart. It's clear, simple and easy to read. The questions you raise may uncover, whether shelters are easily accessible or not for women in rural regions, which may mean that more shelters are needed.
