2024 Municipal Census is Underway

Help shape St. Albert’s future by participating in the 2024 Municipal Census–every response counts!
Why Your Participation Matters to Your Community
Census information is important for planning new community programs and services and for enhancing existing ones such as transportation, schools, utilities, emergency services and recreational facilities. Did you know provincial and federal grants are also awarded based on the population count? Having accurate population data also means that the more people the City identifies through the census, the more dollars the City can receive in grants from other orders of government.
There ARE TWO WAYS TO PARTICIPATE
- Online. The easiest and most convenient way to complete the census is online from May 6 to June 18. Each household in St. Albert received a Secure Access Code in the mail during the week of April 29. Residents will use this unique code to complete the census online. Note: If you did not receive a code by May 13, please contact the Census Office by email at census@stalbert.ca or phone 780-418-6600.
- In-person. If you prefer to complete the census in-person, a door-to-door enumerator will visit your household. If you have not completed your census online by May 27, enumerators will begin knocking on doors to complete the census in-person by June 27. You still have until June 18 to complete your census online. However, the City is trying to get as many responses as possible–every response counts. If we miss you, we will leave you information on how to contact the enumerator in your area.
