The Provincial Electoral Division - Historical 2010 dataset is comprised of all the polygons that represent the areas in Alberta established as electoral divisions under the Alberta Electoral Divisions Act of December 2, 2010. This dataset reflects the legally valid boundaries for provincial general elections and for provincial by-elections, and supersedes all previously published electoral division datasets.

This dataset was created to provide a spatial dataset of the school divisions within the province of Manitoba.This polygon layer depicts official boundaries of the Manitoba School Divisions as per Director of Surveys (DoS) plans. Each DoS number can be found in the field "source". Boundaries are approved by both Manitoba Education and the Director of Surveys of Manitoba. Ward boundaries, schools and the following school divisions are not included in this dataset: Funded Independent,  Non-funded Independent,  First Nations,  Institutional schools, and  The Division Scolaire franco-manitobaine. This  polygon layer is symbolized by the School Division Names in the field SchoolDiv.The dataset includes the following fields:Alias (Field Name): Description of fieldFID (FID): Identification numberOBJECTID (OBJECTID): Object IDShape Length (Shape_Leng): Length of polygonShape Area (Shape_Area): Area of polygon shapeSchool Division Name (School_Div): Division Name.DoS Source Number (SOURCE): Director of Surveys (DoS) plan number.Website (WEBSITE): Division website address (if available).

Administrative boundaries called mining divisions were once used for recording claims. This information is now historic. This dataset contains the codes for each of the 24 mining division. For example, 1=ALBERNI, 2=ATLIN, 3=CARIBOO, 4=CLINTON, 5=FORT STEELE. These boundaries are no longer used for current administration. Mining division is needed when submitting the title page for your Technical Work Report. More information on ARIS Reports (https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/mineral-exploration-mining/british-columbia-geological-survey/assessmentreports/submissionmineral). They can also be used to reference historical records.

Prior to January 1, 2008, fishing divisions were administrative units to manage, monitor, assess and regulate recreational fisheries. Each zone was based on angler usage and ecological/geographic patterns. Refer to [Fisheries Management Zone for boundaries after 2008](/dataset/fisheries-management-zone).

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. Census division (CD) is the general term for provincially legislated areas (such as county, municipalité régionale de comté and regional district) or their equivalents. 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. Census divisions are intermediate geographic areas between the province/territory level and the municipality (census subdivision).Census divisions (CD) have been established in provincial law to facilitate regional planning, as well as the provision of services that can be more effectively delivered on a scale larger than a municipality. In Newfoundland and Labrador, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut, provincial or territorial law does not provide for these administrative geographic areas. Therefore, Statistics Canada, in cooperation with these provinces and territories, has created equivalent areas called CDs for the purpose of disseminating statistical data. In Yukon, the CD is equivalent to the entire territory.Next to provinces and territories, census divisions (CD) are the most stable administrative geographic areas, and are therefore often used in longitudinal analysis.
