OVER TEN MILLIONS
CANADA’S POPULATION. VANCOUVER, September 12. Canada will take stock of her people in June of next year. Already a considerable amount of preparatory, work has been done here on what will be the seventh decennial census of the Dominion, the first of these having been taken in 1871, Incident-tally, according to historians, this country was the first of the world to have undertaken a systematic counting of heads. The initial census was that of New France, taken in 1666, when the heads counted totalled 3215. Next June’s census is expected to show a population for the Dominion of nearly 10,250,000. A population of 30,000,000 for British Columbia was predicted by Dean R. W. Brock, of the University of British Columbia, in a recent address to the Mortgage and Investment Association of Canada. He also predicted that Canada’s population will double within 30’ years, and that in 100 years Canadians will number 184,000,000.
