Canada 1926 Census
The 1926 Canadian census was the third of a series of special censuses conducted by the Government of Canada covering the rapidly expanding Northwest Provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. These censuses were conducted every ten years from 1906 to 1946. This census was conducted as at June 1, 1926. The entire population of Canada for 1926 was estimated at 9,451,000, an increase of 1.7% over the previous year.
