Notes: Population projections were not available for the years prior to 2001 for this report; therefore, rates could not be calculated for the period before 2001. 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 carried out between the censuses of population and the National Household Survey adjusted for net undercoverage, partially enumerated reserves, and populations living in collective dwellings; the population counts from 2012 to 2015 are based on custom population projections.
