These CORDS pages are  under continuing development.
Background is the entry page  to the 1976 version of CORDS, Canadian Outdoor Recreation Demand Study. From here you may go to Introductory Material and the Table of Contents                        

For particular information, comment, CORDS related publications, etc.).

Some ORIGINAL contents HAD special characters that were introduced because the print chain used in producing the 1976 volume did not have all the characters needed. ALL REVISED MATERIAL USES CONVENTIONAL SYMBOLS.

Note this effort commemorates the great effort that Elliott Avedon and Terry Stewart put into seeing that CORDS volumes were produced.
