| The Food Expenditure Survey was carried out in private households residing in urban and rural areas in Canada's ten provinces as well as in the cities of Whitehorse, Yellowknife and Iqaluit. The survey covers about 98% of the population in the 10 provinces.
The following groups were excluded from the survey:
those living on Indian reserves and crown lands;
official representatives of foreign countries living in Canada and their families;
members of religious and other communal colonies;
members of the Canadian Armed Forces living in Military Camps;
people living in residences for senior citizens;
people living full time in institutions: for example, inmates of penal institutions and chronic care patients living in hospitals and nursing homes.
Information was not gathered from persons temporarily living away from their families (for example, students at university), because it would be gathered from their families if selected. In this way, double counting of such individuals was avoided.
Furthermore, for operational reasons, households residing in dwellings located in remote areas were excluded |
