Census Division

Description
Census Division (CD) is the general term for provincially legislated areas (such as county, municipalité régionale de comté and regional district) or their equivalents. In other provinces and the territories where laws do not provide for such areas, Statistics Canada defines equivalent areas for statistical reporting purposes in cooperation with these provinces and territories. Census divisions are intermediate geographic areas between the province/territory level and the municipality (census subdivision).

Use Cases
As a Property Officer, I would like to identify which census subdivision the TC property is in so that it can be divested accordingly.

Remarks
ESRI REST will be most ideal for EGIS integration.
Process for EGIS integration
ESRI REST, WMS, SHP and GDB Files:
ESRI REST, WMS, SHP and GDB files can be integrated directly into EGIS.
TC Smart Maps:
Not all GIS applications can consume KML file directly due to its unique data structures such as networklinks, folders, models etc.
Please contact Lawrence Chong, Digital Services Directorate for TC Smart Maps KML dataset and format translation.
