Vol. 3 Population Groups and Ethnic Origins 1

Throughout history, generations of immigrants have arrived in Manitoba to start a new life. Their presence is celebrated in our communities. Many new immigrants, and a large number of Manitoban-born people, continue to identify strong ethnic ties outside of Canada. This extended, renewed sense of belonging promotes cultural and ethnic diversity in our province.

Ethnicity is a complex phenomenon. This series of publications helps to capture part of that complexity by outlining essential demographic dimensions of this phenomenon in recent years. Based on selected socio-demographic characteristics, such as country of birth, mother tongue, population group and ethnic origins, taken from the 2001 and 2006 Canadian census, the series shows recent trends in Manitoba’s regions as well as Winnipeg’s community areas.

IntroductionThe ethnicity series is made up of three volumes:

1. Foreign-born Population

This volume presents the population by country of birth. It focuses on the foreign-born population and its recent regional distribution across Manitoba. Counted every census year, the foreign-born population is considered as the immigrant population.

2. Population by mother Tongue

This volume presents the mother tongues of Manitobans, regardless of immigrant status. It focuses on the non-official foreign languages in Manitoba’s regions.

3. Population Groups and ethnic origins

This volume consists of two parts. The first presents Manitoba’s population groups according to visible and non-visible minority self-identification, regardless of immigrant status. It presents, in detail, the various visible minority groups in Manitoba. The second part shows the census responses of Manitobans – regardless of their immigrant status or ethnic origins.

Ethnicity SEriES A Demographic Portrait of Manitoba2 | Introduction

According to Statistics Canada, the question on population groups is used to produce two variables: population groups and visible minority groups. It was asked for the first time in the 1996 Canadian Census. In 1986 and 1991, data on visible minorities came from responses to the ethnic origin question, together with other ethno-cultural information (ex: language, place of birth, religion). The concept of visible minorities is defined in the Employment Equity Act as “persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour.”

In 2006, the census enumerated an estimated 5,068,095 individuals who belonged to the visible minority population. They made up 16.2 per cent of Canada’s total population. About 90 per cent of them resided in three provinces: Ontario (54.2 per cent), British Columbia (19.9 per cent) and Quebec (12.9 per cent).

In 2006, 109,095 Manitobans identified themselves as visible minorities (9.6 per cent of the provincial population). This represents an increase of 31,740 individuals (41 per cent) over 1996.

Ethnic origins – refer to the ethnic or cultural origins of the respondent’s ancestors. An ancestor is someone from whom a person is descended, and is usually more distant than a grandparent. Because some respondents reported more than one ethnic origin, the sum of the total responses is greater than the total population, or 100 per cent.

* In this document, ethnic origins refer to the total responses (single and multiple).
