Census Boundaries
Last updated on September 9, 2020The Census boundaries follow a nested hierarchy. Census Subdivisions aggregate to Census Division (also called Regional Districts), which then aggregate to Economic Regions (also called Development Regions).
Below are individual maps of each of the development regions and regional districts. The maps are made available under the Statistics Canada Open Licence and you are free to copy, modify, publish, translate, adapt, distribute or otherwise use the information in any medium, mode or format for any lawful purpose.
