Statistics Canada is currently preparing for the 2021 Census content consultation, scheduled to run from September to December 2017. Invitations to participate will be emailed to individuals and organizations known to use census data, ranging from all levels of government to academics, non-governmental organizations and private businesses.
The general public can participate in public consultations through the Statistics Canada website, social media accounts and regional offices. All participants will be asked to complete the same electronic questionnaire.
This public consultation will gather valuable information on:
- relevance of the census
- extent of users' needs
- populations of interest
- suitability of alternative sources
- multivariate analysis
- comparability across Canada
- continuity over time
- and the required frequency of outputs
For more information, or to have your name and email address added to our list of consultation participants, contact the 2021 Census Content Determination Team at 2021Census_Recensement_consultation@canada.ca.
