Complete the census
Instructions will be delivered to households in early August. You can start your Census as soon as you receive them, if you know where you'll be on Census night, Tuesday August 10. You can complete it online or with the paper form. All personal information collected is kept safe and is not shared with anyone. You and your family can't be identified by the information you put on your Census.
