Special census ordered by the Canadian Government to track the high rates of population growth in the prairie provinces (Manitoba and the two newly created provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta). This endeavour continued from 1906 to 1956, at which time the Census of the Northwest provinces became part of the Canada-wide census
