Notes: • There were no participants in Nunavut. • It is useful to compare the population of students participating in Census at school with the Canadian population. • The proportion of students in Ontario and Alberta is almost 50% more than the proportion of those provinces in the Canadian population. • The proportion of students in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan is almost equal to the proportion of these provinces in the Canadian population. • Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec and British Columbia would need more student participants.
