¹Rates are calculated on the basis of 100,000 population. The population estimates come from the Annual Demographic Statistics, 2002 report, produced by Statistics Canada, Demography Division. Populations as of July 1st: intercensal estimates for 1977 to 1990, final intercensal estimates for 1991 to 1995, final postcensal estimates for 1996 to 1999, updated postcensal estimates for 2000 and 2001, and preliminary postcensal estimates for 2002.
² In 1999, Nunavut, which comprises the eastern part of the old Northwest Territories, officially became a Canadian territory. Therefore, a break occurred in the time series for the Northwest Territories. For the purpose of analysis, data for the Northwest Territories from 1994 to 1998 are based on 1999 boundaries. Data prior to 1994 reflect Northwest Territories including Nunavut. Data for Nunavut between 1994 and 1999 are based on 1999 boundaries.
³ For Nunavut and Northwest Territories, the percent change is calculated for the 1994 to 2002 period.
