POPULATION STATS
Between 2001 and 2006, Canada’s population increased 5.4%,
the first time since 1991. This acceleration during the past five
years was due to higher levels of immigration.
During that same period:
The population of Ward 32 (Beaches) grew by 2.5%.
The population of Ward 31 (Beaches) grew by 5.0%.
According to the most recent Census (2006) Toronto is the nation’s
dominant force for culture industries, with a large cultural
work force involved in industries such as advertising, printing,
motion picture and video industries, publishing and specialized

Fully 70% of Canada’s population resides in either very highly urban
or by highly urban watershed areas (low basin usually filled
with waterways, lakes, etc.)
