The Agency is releasing statistical profiles of almost 6,000 towns, villages and cities, as well as Aboriginal communities. A statistical profile of Canadian communities includes data from the 1996 Census of Population, as well as a mapping feature. For example, Canadians can find basic information for their community on the highest level of schooling for the population aged 15 and over, as well as its industrial makeup and the composition of the families who live there.
Clients can compare data for their community with provincial and national data.
