Statistics Canada will release the second wave of data from the 2016 Census on May 3, covering the age and sex composition of Canada’s population, dwelling types and the makeup of those living in group housing. In this second in a series of webinars on census releases scheduled throughout the year, demographic expert Dr. Doug Norris will discuss how Canada’s age-sex composition is changing and how it differs across the country. The session will also focus on the housing arrangements of Canada’s fast-growing senior population, including retirement homes and other health-related facilities. Finally, Doug will explore the changing mix of housing types.

This webinar took place on Thursday, May 11, 2017, at 2:00 PM ET. Recordings of past Environics Analytics webinars can be found here: http://www.environicsanalytics.ca/footer/webcasts

Dr. Doug Norris will share insights on:

• The implications that the changing age and sex makeup of the Canadian population can have for businesses, government agencies and not-for-profits.
• The trends underlying the growth of older Canadians living in suburban areas around larger cities.
• What the latest demographic changes may mean for businesses that are planning on opening new stores, creating housing developments or launching new services.
