Standard geographical classification 1981 = Classification géographique type 1981.: CS12-567/1982-PDF ; CS12-568/1982-PDF
"This is the third edition of the Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) which was first published in 1974. The SGC is a system for the identification and coding of geographical areas. The smallest unit of the classification is the municipality, or equivalent units in areas of Canada without municipal organization. There are 5,710 of these units. The seven-digit SGC code also identifies provinces and census divisions (counties, regional municipalities, regional districts and other equivalent units). The main objective of the classification is to make available a standard set of geographical codes which, when used in Statistics Canada and elsewhere, will facilitate the linkage and exchange of data among different files containing information about census divisions and subdivisions"--Preface.
