After sending those surveys in, you are rewarded with coupons for 50 cents off moisturizer and a free sample of gum. There is hardly anything to fill out. For one thing, half of the wad of paper that makes up the census survey is in French. For another thing, the majority of the census is devoted to telling people how to fill the thing out. In the past few years, our social dynamic has changed greatly.
Families are no longer just a mom, a dad, and kids.
But the census's specific instructions on who not to include, and the need to clarify the relationships between those living in the households are almost Monty Pythonesque. If determining who, exactly, lives in your home and who the heck they are is problematical in some households, they are issues that should be addressed more regularly than whenever the government conducts a census. 856-7733 All contents of this site including graphics, text, and programming are copyright by Lower Mainland Publishing Group Inc, A Canwest Company.
