Now that we have new Population and Dwelling Counts data, what will the new numbers portend for marketers? Will market share estimates, trade areas and sales targets need to be significantly recalibrated? Demographic expert Dr. Doug Norris will discuss how organizations can use the census statistics to better understand their changing markets, adjust their marketing and improve their bottom lines.
Population and Dwelling Counts have been released! Check out our newsletter Making it Count 5.4 for links to the new Census release, CDP news, and other resources.
Employment and Social Development Canada has released a report that provides a look at the key findings of the 2016 Coordinated Point-in-Time (PiT) Count.

Background
International Development Week (IDW) runs from February 5 to 11, 2017 to celebrate Canadian contributions to poverty reduction in the developing world, and engage Canadians to learn about those efforts. Since its inception in 1991, IDW has become a uniquely Canadian tradition.
Statistics Canada is currently preparing for the 2021 Census content consultation, scheduled to run from September to December 2017. Invitations to participate will be emailed to individuals and organizations known to use census data, ranging from all levels of government to academics, non-governmental organizations and private businesses.
The general public can participate in public consultations through the Statistics Canada website, social media accounts and regional offices. All participants will be asked to complete the same electronic questionnaire.
