Statistique Canada

Message from the Chief Statistician of Canada:

The National Household Survey is an important survey for all people in Canada, including those living in northern and arctic regions, and in First Nations and other Aboriginal communities. Your input is essential so that your community and Aboriginal organizations have the information they need for planning services such as child care, schooling, family services, housing, roads and public transportation, and skills training for employment. By law, your responses will be kept confidential. Your information may be used by Statistics Canada in support of our other surveys or for analysis.

Thank you for your cooperation.
