2001 Aboriginal Peoples Survey Community Profiles

Question

Has the 2001 Aboriginal Peoples Survey Community Profiles disappeared from the Statistics Canada website? They are listed in the right hand side menu on this page under 2001 Census Profiles but the link goes no where.

Will this data still be available to us somewhere?

Answer

The 2001 Aboriginal Peoples Survey Community Profiles is no longer available due to the security risks or vulnerabilities of the database that is used, as well the database software can no longer be updated. We had similar issues with the 1996 Community Profiles in which we had to take this off line as well.

I have been in liaison with subject matter who has informed that while the profile information is no longer available, it is available on the DLI EFT site now:
