#2021Census

You count.
Be counted!
The last census underreported Jewish Canadians by a large margin, impeding our community’s ability to address important issues we all care about, such as antisemitism, security, housing, healthcare, and fighting poverty.
One in every four census questionnaires is the long-form version and will include questions about ethnicity (Q.23) and religion (Q.30).
It is important for Jewish Canadians to be recognized by the Government of Canada as a thriving, growing, and engaged community. If being counted as part of the Jewish community in Canada is important to you, you may respond “Jewish” to Question 23, Question 30, or both.
