Census forms
Mayor Janet Evans advises that the 2011 Census forms are now out and are mandatory for everyone to complete. These forms are very important to the District of Sooke and the information that is provided in the Census determines the amount of monies that are transferred to the local municipalities.
They are called transfer payments and the amount is based on total population.
These payments are used in our municipal government to provide police, fire and emergency services, road maintenance, development services, parks, trails and recreation, and many other services.
“Please make sure you provide accurate information because that population figure is with us for five years,” said Mayor Evans in a news release.
