But there are no "locals" with degrees so the data makes the community look good education wise. So when the Mushuau Government wants to use the data to talk about education and suggest the need for more relevant education, then someone could come back and say well the education system must be working because you have 30 people with an education degree according to the last census....Wejituhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352386312822159667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11466749.post-71246512811815366652007-03-18T13:53:00.000-03:002007-03-18T13:53:00.000-03:00That census was in April?

First of all, for census purposes, those "transients" are residents of Natuashish. And second, there were also teachers, nurses, RCMP officers, etc. in Davis Inlet at the time of the last census as well.WJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070910923518931583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11466749.post-82396469173401832372007-03-17T20:59:00.000-03:002007-03-17T20:59:00.000-03:00Thank you.

If you ever see me you have my permission to knock me over the head.<BR/>Natuashish actual population increase according to the figures is slightly over 20% !!! That would be something to crow about except...That census was in April? If so the transient population was included and distorts the stats quite a bit. The last census showed quite a few of the population with various degrees (Transient teachers) and such which makes a true anaylsis difficult.Wejituhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352386312822159667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11466749.post-28140485959926886102007-03-17T00:29:00.000-03:002007-03-17T00:29:00.000-03:00No I meant the reference in stats canada dataGo to...<B>No I meant the reference in stats canada data</B><BR/><BR/>Go to the Statscan site > Census > Community profiles.<BR/><BR/>Remember, though, that you're comparing Natuashish, which only came into existence since 2001, with the former Utshimassits, which comprised close enough to 100% of one of the former Unorganized subdivisions of Census Division 10, in 2001 and prior years.WJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070910923518931583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11466749.post-75111893724727481852007-03-16T20:18:00.000-03:002007-03-16T20:18:00.000-03:00No I meant the reference in stats canada data...lo...No I meant the reference in stats canada data...lolWejituhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352386312822159667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11466749.post-43925810788416512712007-03-16T11:50:00.000-03:002007-03-16T11:50:00.000-03:00Fifth para from the bottom.Fifth para from the bottom.WJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070910923518931583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11466749.post-42532600288131611952007-03-16T11:37:00.000-03:002007-03-16T11:37:00.000-03:00Well f*** it, I been at this for the past two hour...Well f*** it, I been at this for the past two hours and I cannot for the life of me find your reference to natuashish and its increase in population...before I go crazy, whereis it located William!?Wejituhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352386312822159667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11466749.post-81718518574925812652007-03-14T22:56:00.000-03:002007-03-14T22:56:00.000-03:00Great analyses and observations on both I & II.

It begs lots of questions right now, like what are the factors involved that attract people to those unincorporated areas, and what can be learned? What is the demographic of those inhabitants? It could be a trend that more retirees, partly because of a growing aging baby boomer population, are moving there - smaller homes, cheaper land, or communications advances like you said? It should be studied more.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750561167313922933noreply@blogger.com
