Mandatory data collected from individual iZEV recipients: Name (no gender) and date of birth only Data collected from the voluntary iZEV Questionnaire Survey for individuals: Indicator-household income, age, gender, highest level of education, size of community and no. of vehicles owned/leased Mandatory data collected from business/organization iZEV recipients: CRA business registration number (no personal data except the name of the company employee) Data collected from the voluntary iZEV Questionnaire Survey for individuals: Province/territory of org's HQ, size of community HQ is located in. |
The results showed a majority of questionnaire respondents that were individuals were male and caucasian. However, all GBA Plus/demographics results from the 2021 survey questionnaire for individuals must be viewed with caution as only the iZEV incentive recipient was eligible to answer the survey and not other members of a household who may drive the vehicle and may be of a different demographic (e.g., woman, non-binary, visible minority, etc.). |

GBA Plus Data Collection Plan:
We are taking the lessons learned from the first annual questionnaire for individuals who qualified in the iZEV program in 2021 and have restructured the demographics section with the aim of obtaining better GBA Plus data. The businesses/orgs. questionnaire's demographics section is also being restructured but does not ask any org-specific questions (e.g., # of women in the org.). However, since responding to the survey questionnaires is voluntary, caution should always be exercised when interpreting demographic results.

| Number of female and Indigenous students enrolled in the Marine Training Program |
Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC): Since 2019, over 300 eligible students have participated in various Marine Foundations Programs as well as the Bridge Watch Rating Program. A total of 240 students have graduated – 53 women and 187 Indigenous students. After completing the program, graduates have been hired to work in the marine industry. British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), in partnership with Camosun College: Since 2019, a total of 173 students have graduated: 114 women and 59 Indigenous students. After completing the program, many graduates have been hired by BC Ferries, CCG, Seaspan, and West Coast Launch. |
Annual progress reports from Marine Training Program partner institutions. | Specific target group: The Canadian marine sector (marine transportation, fisheries, aquaculture; etc.) and Canadians who live close to Canada's coasts (Atlantic, Pacific or Arctic plus the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence). However, we are aware that the marine sector is male-dominated and been taking steps to increase the number of people from under-represented groups (like Indigenous peoples and women) who work in the sector. |
Other Key Program impacts on gender and diversity:
Through the Indigenous and Local Communities Engagement and Partnership Program (ILCEPP), the Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) hosted a national virtual workshop on the subject of Indigenous Women's Voices on Marine Safety and Ocean and Waterway Environmental Protection. This brought together Indigenous women from across Canada to discuss working collaboratively to improve marine safety and environmental protection of the oceans and waterways. NWAC since developed a Marine Safety and Oceans Discussion Document: Indigenous Women's Voices on Marine Safety and Ocean's Protection discussion paper.
More broadly, extensive and ongoing engagement through other ILCEPP projects and a variety of Oceans Protection Plan (OPP) initiatives has provided qualitative data as well from which to draw on regarding the impacts of marine safety policies and programs on GBA Plus, including particular demographic groups, such as women and Indigenous Peoples

GBA Plus Data Collection Plan:
Training programs track number of female applicants and the percentage of increase in applicants. If we engage with Indigenous communities or local communities in the future, we will collect and analyse GBA Plus data.

GBA Plus Data Collection Plan:
TC does not collect socio-demographic data on environmental stewardship activities, however, as part of the impact assessment process of major projects, health, social and economic impacts on Indigenous groups and communities, as well as the intersection of sex and gender with other identity factors, are taken into consideration and project-specific mitigation measures are implemented to address negative impacts. The Program's activities are designed to increase Indigenous participation and to be inclusive, regardless of the gender or other identity factors of the Indigenous participants.

GBA Plus Data Collection Plan:
Going forward, we will be tracking how many female or female-identifying Indigenous people are supported through our Indigenous Career Navigator pilot program, which is a new program, and this year will provide baseline information.
