Harmonized 2016 census geography for Quebec

Geographic database containing the result of Statistics Canada's 2016 Census geography harmonization process.

Harmonization is a process of editing geographic boundaries in order to adjust them spatially to the official geographic base.

This work was carried out in 2016 by the Institut de la Statistique du Québec (ISQ) according to the official provincial geographic base. A detailed project report presents in two parts the coherence between the geography of the 2016 census and the geographical code of Quebec, then presents the process of harmonizing this geography. The content of the resulting database is detailed there (page 22), as well as the description of the attributes (pages 27 to 29). This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
