Download PDF version Poster - Census collection in select northern and remote communities
The 2026 Census has begun in select northern and remote communities!
- Collection begins in February 2026 in select northern and remote communities to:
- ensure access to areas that are easier to reach in winter
- count populations that typically migrate out of their communities in the spring.
- For information on which communities are part of early collection, visit census.gc.ca/north.
- The census questions are available in 15 Indigenous languages for reference purposes.
- Census information is important and can help communities plan services such as child care, schools, and health care.
