Before each census, Statistics Canada conducts engagement activities to facilitate the sharing of data users', and interested parties across Canada, views on the census dissemination strategy.

The consultative engagement activities provided opportunities to provide feedback and indicate your satisfaction with the 2021 Census of Population dissemination and strategy, its product lines and service suite within the Census Program at Statistics Canada. The results will inform decisions on the 2026 Census of Population dissemination and release strategy, its products and its services.
