Introduction
This report presents a statistical profile for one of Alberta's Provincial Electoral
Divisions (PED) supplemented by a comparative summary table for all PEDs. A PED is
a t erritorial unit entitled to return a Member to serve in the Alberta Provincial Legislative
Assembly. Based on the 1996 boundaries, there are currently 83 PEDs in the Province of
Alberta.
All data in this report have been tabulated from information collected by Statistics Canada
during the 1991 Census of Canada. The information featured was gathered from a 20%
sample of households, and includes characteristics such as home language, ethnic origin,
place of birth, education, religion, labour force activity, housing costs, and income. For
the purpose of this report, the assignment of population is based on the geographic
allocation of Statistics Canada enumeration areas to PEDs.
For information on the basic demographic characteristics of PEDs, please refer to the 2 A
PED profile series covering all households (100% sample data) which was produced in
April of 1993. Characteristics covered include population, marital status, families,
households, dwellings and mother tongue.
On some Indian reserves and Indian settlements in the 1991 Census, enumeration was not
permitted or was interrupted before it c ould be completed. Data are therefore not
available for the incompletely enumerated reserves and settlements, and are not included
in the profiles. Four PEDs are affected: Bonnyville, Lac La Biche-St. Paul, Lesser Slave
Lake and Ponoka-Rimbey. Users are advised to refer to the appendices for frirther
information regarding data quality, definitions and the electoral map.
