Administrative divisions

The layers of administrative divisions offered at the scales of 1/20,000 and 1/100,000 allow the location of boundaries for the following components:

  • Boroughs and agglomerations;
  • Municipalities, unorganized territories and indigenous territories;
  • Administrative regions, metropolitan communities, and MRCs;
  • The international border, the interprovincial borders as well as the Québec—Newfoundland and Labrador border.

For the 1/100,000 scale version, the cut-off data originally compiled at the scale of 1/20,000 is adjusted to the corresponding planimetric components at the scale of 1/100,000.This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
