Training in Canada's System of National Accounts

Statistics Canada and CABE are cooperating to offer weekly short training sessions covering the structure and details of our macroeconomic accounts. The sessions will be about 30 minutes in length with a brief time period for questions via chat. They will be delivered by James Tebrake, Director General, Macroeconomic Accounts Branch, at Statistics Canada and other subject matter experts of the macroeconomic accounts.

The sessions will be hosted on Webex by Statistics Canada. Some sessions will be pre-recorded to suit the presenters’ schedule. The links for the sessions are shown below where available. The videos will be made publicly available on the CABE website as soon as possible after the sessions.

The sessions began on February 13th, 2019. They will take place at 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. , Eastern Standard Time.

Logistics: Participants are asked to preregister for webinars with the exception of the pre-recorded sessions. Participants will require a computer and a telephone to participate in the webinars.
