Census Challenge

The Census Challenge is designed to test your knowledge of Canada mainly using the results and data from past censuses.

There are two versions of the challenge. The Education Challenge is for learning purposes only. The iPod Challenge, while being educational, also gives you a chance to win a prize, including an iPod.

How the Census Challenge works

Each week, for three weeks, the person with the highest score will be contacted and awarded the appropriate prize for the challenge tried. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by a draw. Only one prize per entry will be awarded.

Prizes are as follows (iPod Challenge only):

Category Prize
Beginner 2006 Census mouse pad
Intermediate 2006 Census mouse pad and coffee mug
Advanced Apple 30GB iPod Video

Winners will be selected at midnight EST on the following dates:

Winners will be notified by email. A complete list of winners will be posted on this Web page on June 1, 2006.

In order to accommodate all participants, English or French iPods will be purchased after all winners have been selected and their language preferences determined.

The total number of correct answers and fastest time are both factors that determine how results are ranked.
