How do we measure ethnicity?

National Household Survey, 2011

Question 17:

• What were the ethnic or cultural origins of

this person's ancestors? An ancestor is

usually more distant than a grandparent.

Note: This data includes only people living in private

households. People living in collective dwellings (e.g. long

term care homes, seniors’ residences, rooming houses,

etc…) are not included in these counts.
