Notes for Table 4:
- The countries of origin shown here are the countries that
supplied refugees to Regina, as shown in Table 3.
- The classifications for these three Censuses are not necessarily
consistent with each other so that the numbers in this table do
not reflect the exact size of the population.
- Where there is no value and a '-' is shown, this may reflect
the fact that there were no persons of that background in that
year, or it may reflect the fact that the numbers were not published
in the sources listed below.
- The refugees in Table 3
are listed by country of birth while
the numbers in Table 4 represent responses to a question from
each Census that asks respondents what ethnic or cultural group
they belong to.
- The numbers listed in the Bosnia row are the numbers given
as 'Yugoslavia, n.i.e.' in the sources listed below.
- The numbers listed in the Czechoslovakia row include those
of both Czech and Slovak origins in the sources listed below.
- For 1981 the numbers listed in the Vietnam row are the 'Indo-Chinese
- Indochinois' in the sources listed below.
- For 1986, the numbers for both the single (S) and multiple
(M) origins are provided for Regina. For 1981 and 1991, and for
Saskatchewan in 1986, the numbers seem to include only the single
origins.
