Montreal allows its seniors to travel for free, via any mode (bus, metro, river taxi, paratransit, etc.) in the central part of the city (Zone A)...

Thanks Brittany! Actually your approach is more impressive... I thought it would be easier (& efficient). So most days, I just duplicated the dashboard, swapped the chart & revised the title/description.

This is my first election as a Canadian citizen... Are there rules about taking down signs after the election? Barbara Bal signs everywhere...

Thanks Brittany! Such a great little technique & I really love how compact the bar chart is.

I thought the vertical labeling was a nice touch... it might be handy or helpful especially if someone starts adding a 3rd or even a 4th bar to the mix... 😉

No idea.😅 It could be a function of greater awareness, improved diagnosis, population growth, changes in school inclusion policies, etc.

Interestingly, if you look at all special education enrollment, about 50% remain unidentified for a specific exceptionality... so the # might be higher

Thanks Kit! I generally use Tableau to do my data visualizations...

You're right... The survey asks about their level (scale of 0-10) of meaning or purpose in life. But in my mind, there might be some overlap, so I was just using it as a proxy for "boredom." I also considered using "loneliness"...
