Why census data matters

Accurate census data provides a clear picture of who lives in each community and what their needs are. Governments, community organizations, and service providers can use this information to plan and fund programs that support people where they live. Census data can help determine how many teachers and classrooms are needed, what health services and clinics should be available, how housing programs are funded, where to improve roads and transportation, and how to support language programs.

In northern and remote communities, accurate information is essential for planning for the future. That begins with local people leading the way.
