Enumeration

In the Northwest Territories (also the Yukon and the northern portions of some provinces), some places were enumerated during March 1996. Counts were completed at an earlier date in these places to help improve census coverage.

For the Northwest Territories, approximately 40 communities were enumerated early during March 1996. These places are located in the Baffin, Keewatin, Kitikmeot and Inuvik Regions. All remaining places (communities in the Fort Smith Region and Norman Wells) were enumerated on May 14, 1996.
