Regional District
- Diego Cesa de Meira (Unlicensed)
Description
Regional District originates from Census Division which is the second-level of census geographic units.
In some provinces, a census division also corresponds to a county or another similar unit of political organization while in other provinces, the boundaries are chosen arbitrarily as no such level of government exists. Two of Canada's three territories are also divided into census divisions.

Remarks
ESRI REST or WMS web service will be most ideal for EGIS integration as it does not require periodic updates.
Process for EGIS integration
ESRI REST, WMS, SHP and GDB Files:
ESRI REST, WMS, SHP and GDB files can be integrated directly into EGIS.
SHP File:
SHP file 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.
