Note: In 2020/2021, the Survey of Residential Facilities for Victims of Abuse was updated to collect resident information for women, men, adults of another gender, accompanying girls, accompanying boys and accompanying children of another gender. Women residents include transgender adults identifying as female and men residents include transgender adults identifying as male. Adults and accompanying children of another gender include people whose current gender was not reported exclusively as male or female. Also includes persons who are unsure of their gender, persons who identify as both male and female, or neither male nor female. The April 13, 2023 reference period reflects the survey snapshot day, a predetermined business day meant to represent a typical day of operations for shelters across Canada.
