A note about door-to-door enumerators
Under normal circumstances, a municipal census enumerator would visit all residences where the census was not completed online. However, with the current COVID-19 health emergency, we are looking for ways to keep everyone safe.
We ask you to make every effort to complete the Census using the online tool. If not, please call the census team at 780-939-4361 for over-the-phone assistance; have your unique PIN code ready.
The Census is our way to see how much we have grown and determine what our needs are.
This provides us the information needed for programs, grants and to help shape the future of Morinville for generations to come!
