Census of Population, 1996 [Canada]: Dimensions Series, Portrait of Aboriginal Population [B2020]

The Dimension Series provides a more in-depth analysis of census data. The publications employ large numbers of variables and address topics of special interest. They apply to Canada, the provinces and territories, with smaller sets of variables being used for smaller geographic units. Census variables are grouped into the following categories: counts and demographic data, ethnic origin, population group, place of birth, citizenship and immigration, language, Aboriginal peoples, schooling, household activities, labour force, income, families and households, housing, institutions and other collectives, as well as disability. The aggregate data tables are presented in Beyond 20/20 Format (.ivt).
