Then, I applied those tools to visually illustrate how different classifications yield different maps on shelter costs and housing affordability in Metro Vancouver. Generating a comparative study between shelter costs in 2011-2016 and noted how they had shifted between the study periods. I also discovered the ways in organising, collecting and setting up data from open sources (specifically Statistics Canada for census data) on a project database, with compliance to rules and variables set out by the source. As well as how to add census information to an existing shapefile attribute stable &#8211; in this case, the Greater Vancouver shapefile as taken from G:Drive.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Lab #5 Accomplishment Statement:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Produced an Environmental Impact Assessment on the potential development risks in Garibaldi Resort (Squamish) &#8211; specifically on ungulate winter habitats and old growth management areas.
