1981 Census Query

Question

I’ve been asked for 1981 census data for Wallaceburg, Ontario. I’m trying to determine its geographical level back in 1981, but my print editions only go back to 1986, and I can’t find anything online. In 1986 it was a CA. Could someone be so kind as to look up Wallaceburg for me in the 1981 census to see if it was still a CA?

Answer



The information I found in 1981 Census Catalogue Number 93-906 indicates that Wallaceburg was not a CA in 1981. The pertinent line of data states:

Wallaceburg, [T], Kent County [CD], Chatham [Census Consolidated Subdivision].

I checked in PCensus as well, and again, Wallaceburg did not show up as a CA. It showed up as a Census Subdivision. This jives with the designation [T] in the books (i.e. Town).
