About this episode
The arduous task of counting all the people who live here is fast approaching.
March 7th is Census Day – meaning that each of us will have to fill in forms detailing how many people live in our homes.
This information is critical in showing how our population is changing and plays a key role in determining how resources are distributed across the country.
But gathering this information isn’t easy at the best of times – even less so amid the destruction caused by recent storms.
