This month, Connecting Stats, Stories and People features an interview with Lisa Dillon, Professor of demography from the Université de Montréal.
Beginning in 1666 when Jean Talon, the first Intendant of New France, conducted the first census, to more than three centuries later, the Census Program continues to be a valuable source of information that tells the ongoing story of our country and our families. Having worked with historical population data for more than 20 years, Ms. Dillon has devoted her career to study the lives of Canadian families of both today and yesteryear.
