Schedule – Maps, Proposed Boundaries and Names of Electoral Districts
This publication contains a provincial map of Quebec, four (4) maps for Southern and Eastern Quebec, individual maps of cities including more than one electoral district, and a map and description of each of the province's seventy-eight (78) electoral districts.
The sources used in the preparation of the maps in this atlas are from Natural Resources Canada (Canadian Centre for Remote Sensing) and Statistics Canada (Geography Division).
The following applies to all the descriptions contained in this publication:
- (a) for the purposes of descriptions of electoral districts, the term "regional county municipality" means a corporation having jurisdiction over a territory in respect of which letters patent have been issued pursuant to the provisions of Division 1, Chapter 1, Title II of the Land Use Planning and Development Act (c. A-19.1 of the Revised Statutes of Quebec) following the coming into force of section 12.1 (S.Q. 1979, c. 51, s. 251) of the Territorial Division Act (c. D-11 of the Revised Statutes of Quebec);
- (b) reference to "boulevard", "road", "street", "river", "highway", "route", "avenue", "railway", "transmission line", "channel", "bridge", "canal", "crescent", "basin" or "effluent" signifies their centre line unless otherwise described;
- (c) all villages, cities, towns and Indian reserves lying within the perimeter of an electoral district are included in it unless otherwise described;
- (d) wherever a word or expression is used to designate a territorial division, that word or expression designates the territorial division as it existed or was delimited on the first day of March, 2011; and
- (e) the translation of the terms "street", "avenue" and "boulevard" follows Treasury Board standards. The translation of all other public thoroughfare designations is based on commonly used terms but has no official recognition.
The population figure of each electoral district is derived from the 2011 decennial census conducted by Statistics Canada.
