In 2005, Media Awareness Network (MNet) surveyed young people across the country to find out about their Internet activities. The Young Canadians in a Wired World (YCWW) Phase II student survey, conducted by ERIN Research, explores new areas of interest and revisits some of the initial findings from the baseline study of 2001.
More than 5,200 students in Grades 4 to 11 participated in the survey. They represent each province and territory, English and French-language schools, and urban and rural environments. The majority of schools in the 2005 survey also participated in the 2001 study.
