The
Provinces and Territories Boundary File for Canada contains
the boundaries of all 10 Provinces and 3 Territories for the
2001 Census. Province and territory refer to the major political
units of Canada. From a statistical point of view, province
and territory are basic areas for which data are tabulated.
Canada is divided into ten provinces and three territories.
The Province / Territory boundary file consists of polygons
representing the Provinces and Territories. Every polygon encoded
as part of the land area of Canada has a PRuid (a code to uniquely
identify each province or territory) associated with it. The
Province / Territory is available at the National Level only.
The national Province/Territory boundary file consists of polygons
representing 10 provinces and 3 territories. There are more
polygons than provinces/territories primarily because of the
additional polygons needed to represent islands.
