The City conducts a municipal census every few years to collect accurate and up-to-date information about our community and the people who live here. The City uses data collected in the municipal census to plan for the future needs of our growing and diverse city. Census data is used to deliver a wide range of municipal services including roads, recreational facilities, emergency services and major infrastructure. It helps guide our Capital Projects and ensures the most appropriate use of public resources and taxpayer dollars.
