Key definitions
i
Census metropolitan area (CMA) are defined as areas where the urban core has at least a population size of 100,000. CMAs for the Vital Signs project are:
Greater Sudbury, Toronto, Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo, Windsor, Peterborough, Kingston, Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary, Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Victoria.
Kingston and Peterborough were recently made CMAs so CMA data is not always available, particularly for historical time series.
http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/92-195-x/2011001/geo/cma-rmr/def-eng.htm
ii
Census Agglomeration (CA) s are areas where the urban core has a population size of at least 10,000. . If the population of the core of a CA declines below
10,000, the CA is retired. However, once an area becomes a CMA, it is retained as a CMA even if its total population declines below 100,000 or the population
of its core falls below 50,000. Small population centres with a population count of less than 10,000 are called fringe. All areas inside the CMA or CA that are not
population centres are rural areas.
Census division (CD) - Group of neighbouring municipalities joined together for the purposes of regional planning and managing common services (such as
police or ambulance services). These groupings are established under laws in effect in certain provinces of Canada. For example, a census division might
correspond to a county, une municipalité régionale de comtéor a regional district. In other provinces and the territories where laws do not provide for such areas,
Statistics Canada defines equivalent areas for statistical reporting purposes in cooperation with these provinces and territories.
http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/92-195-x/2011001/geo/cd-dr/cd-dr-eng.htm
Census subdivision (CSD): Area that is a municipality or an area that is deemed to be equivalent to a municipality for statistical reporting purposes (e.g., as an
Indian reserve or an unorganized territory). Municipal status is defined by laws in effect in each province and territory in Canada. Census subdivisions (CSDs)
are classified into 54 types according to official designations adopted by provincial/territorial or federal authorities. Two exceptions are 'subdivision of
unorganized' (SNO) in Newfoundland and Labrador, and 'subdivision of county municipality' (SC) in Nova Scotia, which are geographic areas created as
equivalents for municipalities by Statistics Canada, in cooperation with those provinces, for the purpose of disseminating statistical data.
http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2011/ref/dict/geo012-eng.cfm
Economic region (ER) is a grouping of complete census divisions (CDs) (with one exception in Ontario) created as a standard geographic unit for analysis of
regional economic activity. Within the province of Quebec, economic regions (régions administratives) are designated by law. In all other provinces and
territories, economic regions (ERs) are created by agreement between Statistics Canada and the province/territory concerned. Prince Edward Island and the three
territories each consist of one ER. In Ontario, there is one exception where the ER boundary does not respect census division boundaries: the census division of
Halton is split between the ER of Hamilton--Niagara Peninsula and the ER of Toronto. Source: http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/censusrecensement/2011/ref/dict/geo022-eng.cfm
Health Region (ER) refers to administrative areas defined by the provincial ministries of health. Unincorporated places and some municipalities in Ontario and
in the Western provinces may be associated with more than one Health Region. The health region names and boundaries are those in effect as of October 2013.
