All
geographic census files from 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, and 2006 are accessible
via anonymous ftp over the tdr - server. We do not recommend downloading
files during working hours.
The
files can be accessed through the server: tdr.uoguelph.ca (1981 - 2001) or nesstar.tdr.uoguelph.ca (2006)
2006 files are found in the directory http://nesstar.tdr.uoguelph.ca/CENSUS/2006/GIS06/
2001
files are found in the directory /DATA/CENSUS/2001/GIS01/.
1996 files are found in the directory
/DATA/CENSUS/1996/GIS96/.
1991 files are found in the directory
/DATA/CENSUS/1991/GIS/.
1986 files are found in the directory /DATA//CENSUS/1986/GIS/.
1981 files are found in the directory /DATA/CENSUS/1981/GIS/.

GEOGRAPHIC FILES:
Geographic Data files are grouped by format of file, then by file type, then by geographic unit (ie /arcinfo/cbf-flc/cma, etc).
