Vancouver Coastal Health is a proud community supporter of the 2016 Census which takes place in May. Enumerators from Statistics Canada have already started contacting VCH facilities regarding the collection of information. The census work affects mainly facilities where patients live, but other sites will be contacted as well. See: 2016 Census coming in May.

What to do if you get questions

If you get questions about the census from patients, clients or residents, there are a couple of options for them to get information:

1. They can read the Census & You leaflet from Statistics Canada
2. As of May 2, 2016, they can call the Census Help Line (CHL) at 1-855-700-2016 (Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., or Saturday and Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)
