Alberta municipal censuses, 2017

Alberta municipal censuses, 2017
Alberta
April 1 – June 30, 2017

Distribution of Alberta's 269 urban municipalities

Alberta has provincial legislation allowing its municipalities to conduct municipal censuses between April 1 and June 30 inclusive.[1][2] Municipalities choose to conduct their own censuses for multiple reasons such as: to better inform municipal service planning and provision; to capitalize on per capita based grant funding from higher levels of government; or to simply update their populations since the last federal census.[3]

Alberta began the year of 2017 with 354 municipalities.[4] Of these, 26 have plans to conduct a municipal census in 2017.
