Template:Canada census/doc

This template is used to provide a summary of selected census figures released by Statistics Canada for the 2021, 2016, and optionally 2011 census years. Because the tables got too wide, this template is no longer designed to allow for future census years to be added without the need for changing existing template usages. The template maintains the table for the last three years. Older named references for the years back to 2001 (currently 2006 and 2001) must be maintained since these references are also used in the table text as well as the template. As years are removed, add the references to the "earlier" list at the bottom of the table. Add the reference for the new census and the access date to {{Canada census/reference}}.
