Question
I've found the PCCF files ‘locked’. Did I miss the info about this? I had already downloaded one that is requested, but am wondering about others.
Answer
We are currently in discussions with Canada Post to gain access to Postal Code Conversion File (PCCF) for DLI member institutions. As identified in the DLI Licence, the expectation is that DLI Contacts will make their patrons aware of the licence agreement before distributing the data.
We would like to provide more information to Canada Post as to how the DLI licence is being enforced at DLI member institutions. If you could provide to us a detailed description as to how your institution is enforcing the DLI Licence, that would be greatly appreciated and help us in the process of ensuring continued access to the PCCF data.

New Brunswick Health regions
Question
I have a researcher hoping to get population numbers by language for New Brunswick Health Regions. I’m able to find a list of localities included in the different health regions by going to the health profile page for NB (http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/health-sante/82-228/search-recherche/lst/page.cfm?Lang=E&GeoLevel=PR&GeoCode=13), by selecting a region, and then by clicking on “Hierarchy”. Is there a more straight forward way to access this data?
Geographical codes instead of names would be especially useful. Is there a list of subdivision codes by health region for NB? Or do the health regions actually completely correspond to census divisions in NB? Here’s the map of the 2011 Health Regions for NB: http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/82-583-x/2011001/article/11480-eng.pdf
Answer
The census tables from the 2006 and 2001 censuses are at the following page: http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/82-402-x/2011001/cen-eng.htm. They are in B20/20 format.

Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities
Question
I'm looking for the number of families in Windsor, Ontario who receive funding from the Ontario-based “Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities” program <http://www.children.gov.on.ca/htdocs/English/topics/specialneeds/disabilities/index.aspx>. Is this something that Statistics Canada collects explicitly and could provide, or would it need to be requested through other (provincial) sources? I suspect that data for either the city or the CMA would be acceptable (as long as we know which it is).
Answer
We don't collect that data explicitly. We may collect some indirectly through our disability or health surveys, but probably not enough to give an accurate picture. Your best bet would be with the provinces.
