Indigenous Land Acknowledgement

The County Foundation does its work in and from the traditional territory of Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples. These peoples agreed to mutual sharing obligations and responsibilities as stewards of the land and water. We recognize that these are now our shared obligations working in partnership with our current neighbours, the Mohawk Bay of Quinte peoples.

Data is drawn from both quantitative and qualitative primary and secondary sources. Statistical data was gathered from a variety of sources at the national, provincial, and municipal levels, as well as from studies conducted by community and regional organizations. For this report, statistical data primarily comes from Statistics Canada unless otherwise noted. The complete bibliography is available online at PECdata.ca.

From the wealth of data surveyed and the input of our Advisory Committee, we carefully chose our areas of study and selected indicators for them based on:

• availability and consistency of data

• reputation and reliability of the source

• how current the data was

• relevance to our community

• suitability of the data to be tracked for future comparisons.

Where data is available, trends from the past 10 years are presented.

Information that is specific to Prince Edward County (PEC); combined with Hastings County (HPE); or with Lennox and Addington County (PELA) is indicated throughout.
