Note

Note: Census family

A census family refers to a married couple (with or without children of either or both spouses), a couple living common-law (with or without children of either or both partners) or a lone parent of any marital status, with at least one child living in the same dwelling. A couple may be of opposite or same sex. 'Children' in a census family include grandchildren living with their grandparent(s) but with no parents present. For additional information, please refer to the 2006 Census Dictionary, catalogue number 92-566-XWE or 92-566-XPE.

Note: Dissemination of suppressed census subdivisions (CSDs) - 20% sample data

To facilitate the publication of data for 19 dissemination areas for which the 'parent' CSDs have been suppressed due to a high non-response rate, the parent CSDs were given a value of 'null'. This 'null' value appears as a zero (0) in Beyond 20/20.

The list of suppressed CSDs set to 'null' are:

The CSD of Division No. 5, Subd. E (1005007)
The CSD of Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier (2422025)
The CSD of Fort Albany (Part) 67 (3556093)
The CSD of Moosonee (3556106)
The CSD of Nekaneet Cree Nation (4704802)
The CSD of Irricana (4806022)
The CSD of Stony Plain 135 (4811804)
The CSD of Smoky River No. 130 (4819041)
The CSD of New Songhees 1A (5917812)
The CSD of Thompson-Nicola I (Blue Sky Country) (5933037)
The CSD of Columbia-Shuswap F (5939044)

For additional information, please refer to the 2006 Census Dictionary, catalogue number 92-566-XWE or 92-566-XPE.

Note: Impact of municipal restructuring

The boundaries and names of municipalities (census subdivisions) can change from one census to the next because of annexations, dissolutions and incorporations. To bridge the impact of these municipal changes on data dissemination, the 2006 Census team is producing a profile for dissolved census subdivisions. For additional information, please refer to the 2006 Census Dictionary, catalogue number 92-566-XWE or 92-566-XPE.
