Have you received a census form in the mail? I did and I have already filled it out.
But here’s a question! Do you know why we are asked to fill them out?
Census forms are given out every 5 years to not only determine population, and track changes in society and the agricultural sector, but the data is also used to help decide where to build new infrastructure. Things like hospitals, schools, daycares, public transit.
It calculates our population and diversity within it. (Age, gender, language, and income).
When you receive a form, make sure you fill it out. If you don’t, you could get a fine up to $500.
