Town of Taber conducting 2020 census

Oct 13, 2020 | 9:20 AM

TABER, AB – The 2020 census in Taber is now live.

In 2016, the town’s population was listed at 8,548 by Statistics Canada.

The 2020 census will be comprised of four questions, with the town saying the most important is simply ‘how many people live in your household?’

Questions are available in English and Low German. Census takers will go door-to-door, with proper identification and following COVID-19 protocols, to help residents complete their answers.

Questions can also be answered online here. Residents will have to enter a unique pin code they received in the mail at the end of last month to complete the questionnaire.

The town said answers will help officials plan for future services and help attract new businesses and amenities to the community.
