Statistics Canada, with the involvement of Employment and Immigration Canada, has launched a recruitment program that will be directed at the engagement of students and youth for the census representative portions.

There are also employment opportunities for individuals other than students or youth for census positions.

In addition to the recruitment of students- youth to act as census representatives, Statistics Canada will also employ Native persons as census representatives. Statistics Canada is encouraging Native students, youth and other interested persons to contact their nearest Canada Employment Centres.

Census representatives must be 18 years of age and where necessary, have the use of a car. The approximate period of employment will be from mid-May to late June.

Native students, youth and others are encouraged to approach their Chief and Councils on their respective reserves, and Metis Settlements to submit their names for consideration in these positions.

In Alberta, 3,100 census representatives are required in total. In Edmonton 700 positions are available, with 2,400 available in other Alberta regions.

Please reply as soon as possible and contact your nearest Canada Employment Centres for further information.
