Mayor Dennis Fenske urging residents to complete upcoming census

 

 

Mayor Dennis Fenske is stressing the importance of completing the 2016 census.

 

Starting May 2nd, Statistics Canada will be sending census letters and packages to all Canadian households.

 

Fenske says funding the City receives is affected when people don’t participate in the survey:   

"The impact for us is [for] each individual that’s not registered in the census, when it comes to transfer payments and grants from the federal government and the provincial government it can cost us as much as $161 per person".

 

Fenske says there were around 600 people unaccounted for during the last census in 2011.
