This folder contains layers showing census divisions coloured according to population density for the given year. Turning on one of these layers makes it the active layer, see Active Tools below for explanation. | |
This folder contains layers showing the province/territory/colony names for the corresponding Population by CDs layer above. Check which Population by CDs layer you have on, and click on the corresponding year in this folder to view the appropriate labels. | |
This layer shows Modern Geography (current provincial and territorial boundaries, as well as selected cities), and is available for reference. |
Zoom In: Zoom in to see labels for census divisions and selected cities. Note that as you zoom in even further, the labels disappear, in order to allow a clear view of the population density data. | |
