Local indicators of economic activity tell us about the vitality of a community, as well as the specifics of certain activity. The Community Facts offer a comparison to provincial figures of various socio-economic indicators. Some of these indicators are: population, residential assessments, new business incorporations, bankruptcies, income assistance and unemployment insurance beneficiaries, construction activity and income. This two-page snapshot in time displays a variety of data specifiic to each municipality and regional district.

We have put these fact sheets into a two-page Adobe Acrobat PDF file for each RD and community. Please note that you must install the Adobe Acrobat Reader to read these files. For further information, please read these notes.

A full paper copy --over 360 pages-- is available on request for $53.50 (tax included). Please contact Data Services at (250) 387-0327, or via e-mail
