2006 Census

The publication, Languages in Canada: 2006 Census, is the fourth in a series of studies on the evolution of Canada's linguistic situation published under the same title following the population censuses of 1991, 1996 and 2001. As with the previous publications, Languages in Canada: 2006 Census is the product of a strong partnership developed over the years between the Department of Canadian Heritage and Statistics Canada.

This document is intended as an essential, unique reference tool for anyone who is interested in the languages and various linguistic groups that make up Canada. It presents the results of the census on various language variables and analyzes the main factors and trends that influence the evolution of Canada's linguistic composition.

The publication Languages in Canada: 2006 Census is now available from the Canadian Heritage website (www.pch.gc.ca/pgm/lo-ol/pubs/index-eng.cfm).
