Sort of OT but is there a census this year?

[Burrow Digger]

I was just looking through this years calendar and I came across the following note.

May 16, 2006  Census Day Canada.

I remember filling out census forms in 2001 - but do we really have another census this year? I thought they were just every 10 years?

Thanks

Hi KarenM

You are correct the last census did have a long and short form. As I was a census worker.  I had noticed notices in the local shops advertising for census workers. But after doing it last time don;t think I am going to do it again.


Cheers

I think that that would be fun, but I am sure alot of people gave you a hard time.

Do you think you could write a little message on the form so that in 100 years if any of your family were to look at the original they could see it     Wouldn't that be neat!

lol, Karen,
That would be neat, a little message "hello descendants"

I think I filled out a short one last time
