Public consultations are now underway!
Listening to Canadians is an important step in the determination of content for the 2026 Census.
For more information on the process and how to participate, we encourage you to consult the 2026 Census of Population Content Consultation web page.
The country relies on high quality information from the census. Before each census, Statistics Canada consults with data users and stakeholders to provide feedback on what information they use, for what purpose and what, if any, data gaps Statistics Canada should consider addressing in the next census cycle.
