The
Economic Region Cartographic Boundary File for Canada contains
the boundaries of all 76 economic regions for the 2001 Census.
An economic region (ER) is a grouping of complete census
divisions (with one exception in Ontario) created as a standard
geographic unit for analysis of regional economic activity.
The Economic Region Boundary File is new for the 2001 Census
and will be packaged with the Census Division boundary file.
The Economic Region Boundary File consists of polygons representing
the economic region. Every polygon encoded as part of the land
area of Canada has an ERuid (a code to uniquely identify each
economic region) associated with it. The Economic Region Boundary
File is available at the national level only. The Economic Region
Boundary File consists of polygons representing 76 economic
regions. There are more polygons than economic regions primarily
because of the additional polygons needed to represent islands.
