New series of articles - cities and suburbs

Canadian Social Trends is a quarterly magazine from Statistics Canada that contains a wealth of information. It's available electronically from the Statistics Canada website (look under Publications, free Internet publications, then under Society & Community). OPL also has a print subscription. The magazine has just launched a new series of articles that explore a wide range of issues related to life in our cities and suburbs. The first two articles have just been published in the Jan. 2008 issue, entitled "The city/suburb contrast: How can we measure it" and "Dependence on cars in urban neighbourhoods". Take a look. The articles are short - and relevant to Oakville.
