The information from the census can be used by the government, businesses, associations, community groups and other organizations.
The collected information can help those groups make informed decisions that would affect public services, schools, transportation, housing and employment.
Census data are used for the planning of hospitals, bus routes and after-school care programs. https://t.co/PCbmLMgptT #2016Census
