2001 Census - Consultation
We want to know your data needs
Statistics Canada invites you to participate in
the consultation regarding the content of the 2001 Census.
The goal of this consultation is to ensure that Statistics Canada takes
account of emerging social and economic issues and, where appropriate,
uses the census and post-censal survey information to shed light on these
issues.
Planning a census begins well before Census Day. For Canada’s census
to be useful, it must reflect Canadians' information needs. This is why
before each census, Statistics Canada asks data users and other interested
parties across Canada what type of census and post censal survey information
they need.
You Can Participate!
Anyone can participate in the consultation. Listed below are just a few
of the interested parties which have participated in the census consultation
in the past.
-
all levels of government
-
school boards
-
the private sector
-
associations and community groups

consultants and researchers
-
the general public
