Standard Geographical Classification, Reference Maps
The Standard Geographical Classification is a classification of geographical areas used to collect and disseminate statistics. The 2006 edition replaces the 2001 edition as the official classification for geographical areas for the 2006 Census and other Statistics Canada surveys.
Volume II contains reference maps showing boundaries, names, codes and locations of the geographical areas in the classification. The reference maps show census subdivisions, census divisions, census metropolitan areas, census agglomerations, and economic regions. The maps can be downloaded for free in PDF format from our Internet site. In January 2007, Volume II will also be released in a paper version.
A reference guide is available (92-149-GWE)
