CENSUS OFFICE, Halifax, December 31, 1861. To The Honorable ADAMS G-. ARCHIBALD,) Members " The Honorable JONATHAN McCULLY, V of the Board of " The Honorable WILLIAM ANNAND; J Statistics. All tlie abstracts being completed, and placed in the hands of the printer, in compliance with the request of the Honorable the Chairman of your Board, I have the honor to present my report of the Census of Nova Scotia for 1861.- Before entering upon the results, I trust it will not be considered out of place to make a few observations, in reference to the machinery by which the information detailed in the various abstracts, has been collected and condensed. After carefully examining the forms used in Great Britain and Canada, it was decided to adopt so much of both, as was applicable to this Province ; and after such further additions as were necessary, a form of schedule was prepared, called the " Householder's Schedule," one of which, in conformity with the English practice, and partially that of Canada, was delivered by the Enumerators to each family, before the day fixed for taking the Census, viz.: the 30th March. In Canada the Census is taken by Townships ; but in many parts of this Province, there being no regularly defined Townships, the only practical mode was to take it by Polling Districts ; and while upon this part of the subject, I would respectfully suggest the propriety, before another Census is taken, of having every County laid off into Townships, or Census Districts, with boundaries properly denned and established.

  • Death & Disease
    ATLANTIC HEALTH DATABASE PART C DEATH & DISEASE ATLANTIC HEALTH DATABASE ii Part C ─ Death & Disease NOTE This volume is a companion to Appendix C, and contains brief text descriptions, definitions, data sources, and charts to accompany the Tables in the appendix. Of particular interest are gender differences in the results, so data in the various indicator sets are presented for both males and females. This volume highlights which Atlantic region health districts have higher or lower rates of particular illnesses or causes of death according to Statistics Canada’s raw statistics. However, in many cases, sample sizes at the health district level were small, and the text does not account for the high variability that may result from wide confidence intervals. Statements comparing death and disease rates at the health district level should therefore be interpreted with caution. For most mortality and morbidity indicators, confidence intervals are provided in the accompanying appendix.1 Please see Part A for descriptions of the 21 Atlantic region health districts, which, in the case of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, do not necessarily correspond with actual health region administrative boundaries. Please note that at the time this volume was compiled, the latest available Statistics Canada mortality and morbidity data at the health district level were for 1996. As this volume went to press, 1997 mortality and 1998 morbidity data became available. Subject to interest by users, GPI Atlantic intends to have this database updated on a regular basis. 1 For example, in Section 3.1.2.2 of this volume, on ischaemic heart disease death rates, the following paragraph appears: “As with all comparative data at the health district level, these results should be interpreted with caution due to small sample sizes and correspondingly wide confidence intervals.
