The diagram below shows information on Canada’s 12 largest aboriginal communities. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The bar chart compares and contrasts data on the population levels of 12 aboriginal communities living in urban areas in Canada in 1996.
In general, the 1996 census showed that the largest community of Canadian abo- rigines was based in Winnipeg whereas the smallest was in Victoria.
The largest aboriginal community (Winnipeg), with a population of slightly less than 46,000 people, was just under 8 times larger than the smallest group which was found in Victoria and had just over 6,000 residents. Toronto and Saskatoon had almost exactly the same number of people in their communities with just over 16,000.
Similarly, the second and third largest aboriginal groups were to be found in Edmonton and Vancouver and had almost the same number of people in their groups with a little over 32,000 and 31,000 per community. The combined population of the three largest communities was approximately 110,000 people and almost equal to the combined population of the other 9 communities.
