2006 Census release dates (Official re-announcement)

Please be advised that the detailed analysis, review and consultation regarding the 2006 Census release schedule and associated release dates has been completed. The originally published dates have been revised based on the impacts associated with the extension of 2006 Census field and collection activities.

The 2006 Census homepage has been modified. The link to information regarding the major 2006 Census release dates has been reinstated on the home page and the following is now presented:

2006 Census release dates
For the 2006 Census, due to the introduction of a number of automated processes, Statistics Canada envisaged releasing the population and dwelling counts earlier than in 2001 by a few weeks. However, given the tight labour market due to the strong economy in certain areas of the country (i.e. western Canada) and the difficulties that this has meant in hiring and retaining field staff, the completion of collection activities was extended by about five weeks. The impact of the extension of Field/Collection activities has resulted in adjustments to the originally published release dates. The revised release dates (as of October 31, 2006) are as follows:

Release no. 1: Tuesday March 13, 2007

  • Population and dwelling counts
