Religion

(Note: Religion data is not available on 2006 Census. A question on religion is normally asked only once every 10 years, and the religion question was asked in the 2001 Census.)

In 2001, more than half of Alberta’s seniors were Protestant (55%), compared to 39% of Albertans overall. Catholicism comprised the second most common religion for seniors (25%), followed by Christian Orthodox (3%).

Seniors were less likely to state that they have no religious affiliation than Albertans in general (approximately 12% versus 24%).
