2021 Census Teacher's Kit (2023 Reissue)

The 2021 Census Teacher's Kit 2023 Reissue has been developed for use in elementary, intermediate and secondary classes across the country. The kit includes four activities that are appropriate for many subjects, including mathematics, social studies, and English or French language studies. These activities also include "next steps" ideas to help connect the subjects with concepts in the sciences and creative arts.

All activities are classroom-ready and have been reviewed to meet curriculum requirements. Through these exercises, students will gain an understanding of what the census is used for, how it is conducted, and the role it has played in shaping present-day Canada. For younger children, the kit includes a fun colouring activity that will allow them to practise counting and exercise their fine motor skills.

The 2021 Teacher's Kit was originally launched in advance of the 2021 Census. This newly updated version, released in 2023, includes recent data from the 2021 Census.

Note: A separate 2021 Census Adult Education Kit is available for instructors who work with adult learners, particularly in adult basic education and English as a second language.
