Cultural Mosaic: Statistics Canada

Statistics Canada: On Wednesday, Statistics Canada will publish the first part of its controversial National Household Survey, detailing patterns of immigration, Aboriginal Peoples, race and religion, according to Times Colonist. Nonetheless, it's expected to offer a sophisticated and up-to-date look at the cultural mosaic that has become synonymous with the Canadian identity and OTTAWA - Canada is about to find out how colourful a country it is. Just how vibrant the colours will be, however well, that's another story. The first-of-its-kind voluntary survey, which compiles responses from more than three million people, replaces the cancelled long-form census. And even Statistics Canada itself has admitted it won't match the detailed, neighbourhood-level information of its mandatory predecessor. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
