Welcome to the UBC RDC

The Research Data Centre at the University of British Columbia is part of the Canadian Research Data Centre Network (CRCDN). We are supported by our partner universities, SSHRC/CIHR, and Statistics Canada to facilitate access to data for crucial social research while protecting the confidentiality and security of Canadians’ information.

RDCs located throughout the country mean researchers are not obliged to travel to Ottawa to access Statistics Canada data.

Find out all about us here.

To access our data and start your research project, start here.

Interested researchers are invited to contact BCIRDC to schedule a virtual video conference call to learn more about the RDC program.

The RDC hosted Statistics Canada Elizabeth Richards who presented on Data Literacy Training Initiatives Tues May 7, 2024.  Please see the Past Events page for links to available courses and resources.
