Throughout 2023, Halton Region Economic Development is releasing a series of infographics coinciding with Statistics Canada’s data releases from the 2021 Census.
On October 26, Statistics Canada released results related to Immigration, place of birth, citizenship, ethnocultural and religious diversity and mobility and migration. Below is Census Infographic 6 relating to ethno-cultural and religious diversity in Halton.
Results show that 36 per cent of Halton population represents visible minority groups, the highest being located in Milton. Furthermore, 54 per cent of Halton residents reported Christian faith, and 10 percent reported to belong to Islamic, the second largest religion in Halton.
The next census infographic will be related to education, labour and language of work.
Be interesting to match these statistics with the make up of institutions like local fire & regional police services.

Sure, but a standardized legitimate process for recruitment that is transparent. That’s not the case…it’s all closed door with certain institutions. And if it was like that…then what I said bout reviewing the data will tell the real story…but getting that data isn’t easy…since the story that unfolds may not look good.
