About David McKie

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 darker purple colours represent the 2016 census tracts (called dissemination areas) that contain the highest number of unoccupied dwellings. To learn more details about the tracts with largest counts, zoom into the desired areas by clicking on the “+” sign, then clicking within the boundaries to produce a pop-up box with the details. The names represent the federal ridings, which should help you better situate the high-concentration areas.

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.
