Executive Summary

Parks Canada protects and presents nationally significant examples of Canada's natural and cultural heritage on behalf of the people of Canada, and fosters public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment in ways that ensure the ecological and commemorative integrity of these places for present and future generations.

Parks Canada has been undertaking tracking studies since 2010 using a standard set of questions. Through this longitudinal study, Parks Canada seeks to track the ongoing success of its proactive communications efforts on Canadians’ awareness and understanding of the Agency and the places it administers. In addition, the longitudinal study tracks performance indicators used by the Agency.

The study employed a telephone survey and was designed to be administered to a nationally representative sample of 2,000 adult Canadians 18 years of age or older through random digit dialing of both landline and cellular numbers. The survey had four questions (excluding demographic questions) and took approximately 5 minutes to complete, on average. The data was weighted to the general population (age, gender, and region) using the 2016 Canadian Population Census. A total of 2,105 Canadians completed the survey between February 16 and March 1, 2021, yielding a margin of error of 2.1% (19 times out of 20, at a 95 percent confidence interval). The total cost of the study was $49,871.70, including tax.

Methodology

Parks Canada undertakes a regular tracking study to measure awareness and understanding of its organization and the places its administers along with performance indicators. The tracking study normally occurs four times per year, but was suspended for most of 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Parks Canada sought to relaunch its longitudinal tracking in early 2021 to acquire corporate and operational performance information.

Parks Canada sought a nationally representative telephone survey of the general population (Canadians aged 18 years and older) to occur during the February / March 2021 period. The questions utilized were provided by Parks Canada and have longitudinal history. Narrative Research reviewed the questions, providing suggestions and prepared them in a format suitable for telephone administration. As required by Government of Canada standards, English and French pre-test surveys were conducted (16 in English and 15 in French). The survey was administered between February 16 and March 1, 2021, and 2,105 Canadians completed it during the period.

Sampling

The survey was designed to be administered to a random sample of 2,000 adult Canadians 18 years of age or older. The sample provided for dialing entailed both landline as well as cellular contact records reflecting Random Digit Dialing (RDD), thus engendering a large number of Not in Service (NIS) telephone numbers. For landlines, records were drawn from a list of randomly-selected households compiled from telephone numbers in Canada, selected from a database that is updated quarterly. Both listed and unlisted numbers were included.

Narrative Research utilized ASDE Inc.’s Canada Survey Sampler (CSS) sampling software to generate general population telephone landline samples within Canada, which has become a standard software for many companies in Canada. This software has been proven to provide a sample that is equivalent to RDD. Randomly generated cellular numbers were also used. The sample was stratified by region in order to ensure regional representation with approximate targets as follows:

Region Target Completions Margin of Error (19 in 20 times)
Atlantic Canada 200 ± 6.9 percentage points
Quebec 450 ± 4.6 percentage points
Ontario 550 ± 4.2 percentage points
Manitoba/Saskatchewan 200 ± 6.9 percentage points
Alberta 250 ± 6.2 percentage points
British Columbia 350 ± 5.2 percentage points
Total 2,000 ± 2.2 percentage points

The target interviews plan entailed overall quotas by age and gender, as well as by region. The gender quotas were approximately 50 percent male and 50 percent female, and age quotas were also broken into two groups: 18 to 34 and 35 years of age or older. Quotas were also established for the major metropolitan regions: Metro Vancouver (150), Greater Toronto Area (250), and Montreal Metropolitan Area (250).

Administration

The survey was conducted via telephone. The survey was programmed by Narrative Research in both English and French via Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing software (CATI). Respondents had the option to complete the survey questionnaire in the official language of their choice. Assistance was available from bilingual staff members as required, with ongoing bilingual supervision. In terms of training, in addition to a thorough general screening and training process, supervisors and interviewers were provided with extensive, customized project-specific training, a review of the questionnaire including specific terminology, acronyms and pronunciations, and background information on the project goals and objectives.

In terms of supervision, as with all projects there was a ratio of one supervisor for every 15 interviewers working. This ‘floor supervisor’ answers questions, handles escalations, ensures that technology is functioning properly, and blind monitors interviewers. In addition, a minimum of 10 percent of interviews were audited through the review of recorded interviews or live monitoring (twice the percentage required by industry guidelines).

The programmed survey was thoroughly tested to ensure question order and skip patterns were properly represented. In addition to this testing, a pre-test was conducted with 16 English and 15 French surveys. The overall purpose of the pre-test was to ensure that:

In addition to the survey questions, pre-test respondents were invited to offer comments on the questionnaire document. When indeed respondents were asked to identify any questions that were problematic from a comprehension or other problematic perspective, no substantive issues were identified. The pre-test data was carefully reviewed to ensure accuracy and identify any aspects that needed to be modified. A pre-test report was prepared outlining the results. No changes were made to the survey as a result of the pre-test exercise. Fieldwork was monitored to ensure quotas were being met, and to determine if there were any challenges via the call disposition/reasons for non-response information.

The survey took approximately 5 minutes, on average, for respondents to complete.

A minimum of five call-backs for landline telephone numbers, and five call-backs for cellular telephone numbers was instituted. Calls and call-backs were varied throughout the day which includes both daytime and evening calling, limited to 9 p.m. in a given time zone.

Narrative Research and its data collection partner employed a number of techniques for keeping response rates as high as possible:

If an interviewer did not speak the requested interview official language, the interview transferred to another interviewer or a call back arranged within 20 minutes (or at another time if requested by the respondent). When calling to a particular location with a predominant language (e.g., French in Quebec), calling was done by interviewers who speak the predominant language to minimize the number of transfers required.

The tables below for the survey display regional, gender, and age data in terms of the actual distribution of adult Canadians as catalogued in the 2016 Statistics Canada Census. As well, the general regional, gender, and age quota targets are detailed (both in terms of the actual number of surveys completed, and the percentage of all surveys completed). The tables present data with the weighted and unweighted number as well as percentage of surveys collected, for relevant demographic dimensions.

Data Tabulation: There were a total of 54 overlapping or interlocking statistical weighting cells created from the study design using the weighting factors of:

The 54 overlapping or interlocking statistical weighting cells were derived from Region (9) x Age (3) x Gender (2) dimensions = 54 unique statistical weighting cells. Population data for the 54 weighting cells were gleaned from the most recent (2016) Canadian Census.

It should be noted that a small number of individuals were not able to be placed into one of the 54 weighting cells as they preferred not to provide a response to the gender question. For tabulation purposes, these individuals were given a weight value of 1.0.

Non-Response Bias Analysis

Any survey that is conducted is potentially subject to bias or error. When a survey is conducted with a sample of the population, there are two general classes of bias or error: sampling error, which is quantifiable, and non-sampling error, which is typically not quantifiable. Sampling error arises from the fact that interviews are conducted with only a subset of the population, and thus is it possible that the results obtained from this group of respondents is not reflective of the population as a whole.

In contrast, non-sampling error encompasses a number of different types of errors including coverage error, measurement error, non-response error, and processing error. For the current telephone survey, the actual achieved margins of error provide a reflection of the sampling error and are presented in the table below:

Region Completions Margin of Error (19 in 20 times)
Atlantic Canada 200 ± 6.9 percentage points
Quebec 515 ± 4.3 percentage points
Ontario 564 ± 4.1 percentage points
Saskatchewan/Manitoba 200 ± 6.9 percentage points
Alberta 251 ± 6.2 percentage points
British Columbia 375 ± 5.1 percentage points
Total 2,105 ± 2.1 percentage points

With respect to non-sampling error, a number of steps were taken to minimize bias. The survey utilized survey programming technology to ensure proper survey skip patterns were followed and to minimize errors due to data entry and data capture. The French and English survey instruments themselves were pre-tested with a small sample of respondents to ensure the survey material was easily understood by respondents, and that the resultant data were being captured properly. Interviewers were also trained and supervised.

In terms of coverage, the telephone survey was conducted from a random sampling of a robust sample frame of landline and cellular numbers. Quotas were established for demographic groups traditionally regarded as central in quantitative survey research, such as gender, age, and region/province. The final data set was statistically weighted to closely match the true distribution of these dimensions as reflected in the 2016 Statistics Canada census. The statistical weights implemented were relatively small, given that the data collected already closely matched the actual distribution of adult Canadians along these demographic dimensions.
