What is new in the 2026 Census?
The new long-form census helps tell the full story of our communities by including questions on general health, sexual orientation, and experiences of homelessness or housing instability.
This helps Canada better understand people’s real living conditions and plan stronger supports. When everyone is counted, communities are better supported. Complete the census and help build better data for better decisions.

The 2026 Census helps ensure Ottawa’s diverse communities are reflected in planning, funding, services, and policy decisions. Census data shapes decisions about housing, transit, schools, health care, employment, seniors’ services, newcomer supports, and community funding.
