The results from Canada's 2006 census are in! Here are some of the more interesting statistics for the Southern Gulf Islands electoral area, which includes North and South Pender, Galiano, Mayne, Saturna, Piers and associated islands.
I have also included statistics from British Columbia as a whole, to provide a point of comparison. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
