==History of British Columbia Censuses==
==British Columbia in the Canadian Censuses==
In 1851, Canada begin keeping censuses every 10 years. However, these censuses were often taken in different years, and it was not until 1871, after the Dominion of Canada was created, that censuses were taken regularly. <ref>Library and Archives Canada, “Censuses,” February 4, 2021, https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/Pages/census.aspx.</ref>
===Population Schedules - Online Records===
British Columbia did not join Canada until 1871 so the first Canadian census to include British Columbia was in 1881. <br>
British Columbia became a part of Canada in 1871 and the first Canadian census to include British Columbia was in 1881. It was included in all censuses thereafter.<br>
