Statistics Canada’s roots can be traced back to the establishment in 1847 of the Board of Registration and Statistics which became part of the Bureau of Agriculture in 1855. At Confederation, responsibility for census and statistics was placed under the Department of Agriculture where it remained until 1918. In that year, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics (Statistics Canada since 1971) was created as a central statistics gathering agency. The main functions of Statistics Canada include the compilation, analysis, and publication of statistical data relative to the commercial, industrial, financial, social, and general condition of the people, and the regular undertaking of a census of population and agriculture in Canada
