It contains recordings of monologues and dialogues in scripted and unscripted contexts, mostly from radio broadcasts.The transcripts were converted to .TextGrid format and aligned during the SPADE project using the [Montreal Forced Aligner][3]. Note: Sibilant measures could not be generated for many of the ICE-Can recordings given the reduced spectral range. **Number of Speakers:** 78, 20F \ **Hours of Speech:** about 8.5 \ **Year Recorded:** 1985-2000, but mostly in the 1990s \ **Data Guardian:** public, available from University of Alberta Libraries' Dataverse \ **Speaker Dimensions:** age, dialect (birthplace, nationality, place recorded), mother tongue, other languages spoken, ethnicity, social class (occupation, education, professional training).
