Chestermere, AB – Last week the annual census began again and Chestermere residents can expect to find a census letter delivered to their homes very soon. The letter contains a unique PIN that will enable residents to complete the census online.
“Over 50% of residents participated online last year,” said Shad Thevenaz, Chestermere’s Census Coordinator. “While we still follow up with those who prefer to complete it in person, the online option makes completing the census quick and easy.”
Chestermere conducts a census every year as compiling up to date demographic information ensures the community receives maximum grant funding and assists City staff in planning projects and services.
Complete the Census:
•Online: Visit www.chestermere.ca/census2015. Use your unique PIN to complete your census. This PIN has been assigned to your household to ensure that your information is kept secure. If you have not received a PIN by May 12, contact the Census Coordinator.
•In Person: Households that have not replied to the census online can expect a visit from a census taker between May 18 and June 15 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. If a census taker is not able to speak with you, information will be left at your home advising you on options to complete the census.
Quality Assurance Reminder: After completing the questions online or in person, you will be asked to provide a phone number. If you provide a number, the City may contact you to ensure your information was recorded correctly. Conducting quality assurance solidifies the accuracy of the census and ensures the census meets the Government of Alberta standards.
