Note: The Canadian Internet use survey (CIUS) tables beginning with 2005 replace the Household Internet survey (HIUS) tables from 1997 to 2003. The unit surveyed is now the individual rather than the household. Only adults aged 18 years and over were surveyed.
1. Percentage of all individuals, aged 18 years and over, who responded that they had used the Internet in the previous twelve months for personal non-business use from any location.
2. Internet access from any location includes use from home, school, work, public library or other location, and counts an individual only once, regardless of use from multiple locations.
