**Be a Census 2024 Enumerator, make your steps count**

The City of St. Albert is conducting a Municipal Census from May 6 to June 27, 2024, to gather population and demographic information. The census data helps the City identify upcoming needs in different areas as well as enhance existing programs and services. It provides essential information for planning transportation, schools, utilities, roads, emergency services, recreational facilities, and economic development. The results also help secure provincial and federal grants that are awarded based on population count and play an important role in supporting funding projects.
