Note(s):
Because of the small sample size, the West Asian, Korean, Japanese, visible minority n.i.e. (not included elsewhere) and multiple visible minority categories were collapsed in the other racialized groups category. Given that the non-binary population is small, data aggregation to a two-category gender variable is sometimes necessary to protect the confidentiality of responses. In these cases, individuals in the non-binary people category are distributed into the other two gender categories. Unless otherwise indicated in the text, the men+ category includes men (and boys), as well as some non-binary people, while the women+ category includes women (and girls), as well as some non-binary people.
