DESCRIPTION This course will teach students how to locate, obtain, and read public records with an investigative mindset. Students will learn to probe public records to uncover connections and patterns of information that might be invisible from reviewing one record in isolation. Students will learn how public records fit into a complete research strategy with the aim of telling, investigative, original and breaking stories, or simply adding context to ongoing stories.

The 2016 Ottawa census tracts chart the percent change between the 2011 census and the 2016 census. Click on the individual tracts to see the percent change. The darkest colours indicate those areas that experience the fastest growth rates. Use the plus and minus signs to the bottom right to zoom in and out. You can also maneuver key census tracts away from the legend. The red areas represent tracts with no values.
