Statistics Canada will be visiting First Nations communities this month to collect data for this year’s census.
Assistant Director for the Census in BC Kwong Wong says First Nations communities will have to fill out the long form survey – which collects socio-economic information that will be used to assist the communities, their organizations and businesses, as well as the government.
Statistics Canada is also interested in hiring 20 first nations enumerators to help reserves within and surrounding the Duncan, Chemainus, Ladysmith and Lake Cowichan areas. Anyone interested can apply online or call Statistics Canada.
