2006 Census Data Release Dates Revised

Wednesday, Feb 21 2007, 01:00

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. This table shows revised release dates as of October 31, 2006.
