⚠️ Census Reminder — Don’t Panic! ⚠️

Although May 12 is “Census Day,” it is more of a reference date than a strict deadline. Please don’t panic if you have not finished it yet!

Census workers will be going door-to-door in June to remind and assist households that have not completed their forms.

🏠 Important for shared housing/room rentals:
If you rent a room independently and were NOT included on the main household Census form, you need to call 1-833-852-2026 and request your own access code for a separate roommate form (3A form). Otherwise, the system may reject your information as a duplicate.

Remember,if you don’t know an exact answer to a question, just do your best. Estimates are okay.

You can:
✔️ Complete it online at Census.gc.ca
✔️ Request a paper form
✔️ Get help over the phone

*the phone lines are very busy today, it may help to wait a day or two before calling 🤫
