📢 Just a reminder: if you have not yet completed your Census, please make sure to do so.

Follow-up activities have now begun for households with an incomplete questionnaire or who have not yet completed their 2026 Census. These visits are intended to remind residents to complete the census and provide support if needed.

Census employees can assist respondents in completing the questionnaire in person if they have not yet done so or need help completing it independently.

📞 If you have any questions, please contact the Census Help Line at 1-833-852-2026.

Follow-up activities have begun across the country for households who have not completed their or who submitted incomplete questionnaires.

Please be courteous and respectful if a census employee knocks on your door. Remember that these are your family, friends or neighbours making a difference for your community.

Your census. Your community. Our future!

On June 1, we celebrate Intergenerational Day, a reminder of the importance of bringing generations together through connection, conversation, and shared experiences.

At Literacy Quebec, we see the power of intergenerational learning through our Family Literacy Tool Kit, designed to help children, parents, grandparents, and caregivers connect through literacy activities, storytelling, and play.

This Intergenerational Day, explore ways to learn, connect, and grow together across generations. 💙
