Métis population: Outpacing growth of other Aboriginal groups

New data from the 2006 Census show that the Métis population is on the rise, outpacing the growth of the other Aboriginal groups, as well as that of the non-Aboriginal population, over the past decade.

In 2006, an estimated 389,785 people reported that they were Métis. This population has almost doubled (increasing by 91%) since 1996.
