Description: The 2011 Census Boundary Files are a series of products that depict boundaries of standard geographic units (defined in the Standard Geographical Classification, Volume 1) and geographical levels established primarily for the purpose of collecting and disseminating Census data. The 2011 Census Boundary Files provide a framework for mapping and spatial analysis. Digital files depict the full extent of the geographical areas, including the coastal water area. Cartographic files depict the geographical areas using only the major land mass of Canada and its coastal islands. A Census Subdivision (CSD) is an administrative area which is a component of the Standard Geographical Classification. Census subdivision is the general term for municipalities, as determined by provincial and territorial legislation, or areas treated as municipal equivalents for statistical purposes, e.g. Indian reserves and unincorporated areas. CSDs cover all the territory of Canada. The geographic reference date is a date determined by Statistics Canada for the purpose of finalizing the geographic framework for which census data are collected, tabulated and reported. For the the 2011 Census, the geographic reference date is January 1, 2011. There are 30 CSDs in the Capital Regional District (5917). All Census data are available at the Census Subdivision Area level of geography, subject to suppression population thresholds for small population counts and income data. The Census Subdivision Area Boundary Files contain fields which identify to which Census Division (CD); Province (PR); Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) a particular CSD rolls up in the Standard Geographical Classification.
