Return to note 1 referrer Note 2 Rates are calculated per 100,000 Aboriginal population, by sex and geographical area. Refer to the "Survey description" section of this report for further information. Return to note 2 referrer Note 3 Rates are calculated per 100,000 non-Aboriginal population, by sex and geographical area. Refer to the "Survey description" section of this report for further information. Return to note 3 referrer Note: Population counts were provided by Statistics Canada’s Demography Division. The counts for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations are based on Aboriginal identity; for the years 2001 to 2011, they are derived from an interpolation between the censuses of population and the National Household Survey adjusted for net under coverage, partially enumerated reserves, and populations living in collective dwellings; the population counts from 2012 to 2016 are based on custom population projections. Refer to the "Survey description" section of this report for further information. Numbers may not add up to totals due to rounding.
