The census and the new National Household Survey (NHS) will take place in May 2011. The Town of Grand Bay-Westfield encourages the participation of all residents. Census information is important for all communities and is highly valued for the planning of services such as schools, daycare, police services and fire protection. The NHS is needed for the implementation of community services such as housing, roads, public transportation, skills training for employment and family services. Since the census and the NHS are significant sources of information about Canada and the people who live here, they must be complete and accurate. It is therefore important that everyone completes and returns their questionnaires.
