Statistics Canada reminds people to finish census

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 20 May, 2021 12:17 PM
  • Statistics Canada reminds people to finish census

Statistics Canada is reminding people to fill out this year's census to avoid getting a visit at their door during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The agency says later this month, census enumerators will begin calling households that haven't yet submitted their finished questionnaires.

It says "every attempt will be made" to reach people by phone before enumerators start making in-person visits to remind people to get it done and offer help if needed.

Statistics Canada says no one will go inside anyone's home or enter places like long-term care residences because of the health risk.

The agency says they'll do interviews with household members outside while they are physically distanced, wearing masks and using hand sanitizer frequently.

So far, it says millions of households have submitted the 2021 census.
