 Friday May 13th this year was one with a difference at the Central Statistical Office as staff turned out in all green to promote the 2022 census. It will be the first paperless census in the history of St. Lucia, hence Green Day or Green Friday. The move from paper to tablet is consistent with that mindset of being environmentally conscious. So with the tablets as soon as the information is collected it's uploaded straight into the cloud. Green Day is also promoting Census Day which is on Tuesday May 17th 2022. That is when the Central Statistical Office will launch the 2022 National Housing and Population Censors. We have enumerators going house to house and really appealing to the St. Lucia household to cooperate in terms of answering the various questions that would be presented. That data is useful for all our planned surveys moving forward as well as for all decision making and policy formulation. The National Housing and Population Census is aimed at providing policymakers with data on living conditions around the island. This is to help government better serve the citizens. We cannot govern for the people if we don't know who the people are, what they are about, the challenges that they face in terms of health and their living conditions and the crime they face in the communities and so on. It's important for policymakers to be able to depend on that data to make appropriate policy decisions that will have an impact on you. And so you are involved, it's about you and so we are appealing to you to provide the truthful information. Over 500 enumerators will from Tuesday May 17th fan out across the country conducting the census. All information gathered will be treated in the strictest confidence. Confidentiality is key. We would collect the information but we have our own procedures in-house to ensure that when we make that data available to users that we don't divulge personal information. The Central Statistical Office is asking for public support and cooperation in conducting the census. Every household in St. Lucia will be visited. The 2022 census runs from May 17th through to September 2022.
