Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) reference maps

The Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) is Statistics Canada's official classification for geographic areas in Canada. The classification consists of two volumes, each available separately. Volume I describes the classification and related standard geographic areas and place names. It also explains the changes between the current census edition of the SGC and the previous census edition that impact directly upon the SGC, such as changes in name, type, or code, and indicates how the new and old codes relate to one another. Volume II contains reference maps showing the locations, boundaries, names and codes of the standard geographic areas in the classification.

Note to users: The HTML version of Volume I provides screen-readable definitions, tables and descriptions of the geographic areas portrayed within the Volume II, Information on Reference Maps.
