Census forms urge Manitobans to count themselves in
The Manitoba government urges all residents to fill out the national census questionnaire. Minister James Downey warns missing one may cost about 30,000 in lost federal transfers over five years, as data allocates funds for health care education housing and other services. The census also informs policy decisions and will be mailed May 6 to 10, with returns due May 14 and kept confidential under law.
