Exploring The Newest Data and Features of IMPLAN Canada - IMPLAN Webinars

April 2026 - The Canadian economy is evolving rapidly, driven by digital transformation and a shifting industrial landscape. With the release of the 2022 IMPLAN Canada dataset, researchers and economic developers now have access to unprecedented granularity, including the debut of specialized satellite accounts for environmental and occupational analysis. Join IMPLAN’s Director of Education Services, Eric Clower, and International Economic Data Developer, Ashley Bickel, as they dive into the latest enhancements to the IMPLAN Canada platform. This webinar explores the transition to a new 236-industry sectoring scheme (aligned with 2022 NAICS codes) and demonstrates how to utilize sub-provincial data for more accurate local impact modeling. Discover how the new Environmental and Occupation Satellite Accounts allow you to move beyond simple job counts. Learn to quantify a project’s physical footprint—from greenhouse gas emissions and water withdrawal to the specific core competencies and skills required by the local workforce.
