They are available for download in two types: cartographic and digital. Cartographic boundary files depict the geographic areas using only the shorelines of the major land mass of Canada and its coastal islands. Digital boundary files depict the full extent of the geographic areas, including the coastal water area. Figure 2.1 illustrates an example of cartographic and digital boundary files.</p> <p>The 2016 Census Boundary Files are similar to the 2011 Census Boundary Files in format. Each boundary file includes the unique identifiers, names and types (where applicable) of all higher level geographic areas available at time of release.</p> Census of Population Geographic Areas Geographic Information Systems Geographic data Mapping Reference Maps EPSG:3347 3306575.8200000003 9399500.0 260000.0 6302609.577145003 text/xml
