on the move
- Four in 10 Canadians picked up and moved between 1996 and 2001

- Seniors: Many leave metropolitan areas for smaller cities or rural
areas

migration

relative to their population
- Census metropolitan areas: People moving to the “big city”
- Migrants from Atlantic provinces travelled farthest
