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
Release no. 2: Tuesday July 17, 2007
- Age and sex
Release no. 3: Wednesday September 12, 2007
