Note to readers
The data released today are provisional, as they are not based on all the deaths that occurred during the reference period because of reporting delays and because they do not include those of Yukon. Provisional death counts are based on what is reported to Statistics Canada by provincial and territorial vital statistics registries. Provisional death estimates have been adjusted to account for incomplete data where possible.
The provisional death counts and estimates released today may not match figures from other sources, such as media reports, or counts and estimates from provincial and territorial health authorities and other agencies.
The Provisional Deaths in Canada Dashboard allows users to examine recent mortality trends by comparing the number of deaths being observed with previous years. Comparing provisional death counts and estimates over time can be useful for understanding trends in mortality.
