Any reference to a regional county municipality for inclusion in an electoral district signifies that all the cities, towns, parishes, municipalities and villages that make up the regional county municipality are included unless otherwise described;
  2. reference to boulevard, road, street, estuary, river, highway, avenue, railway, transmission line, channel, bridge, canal, crescent, basin, or tributary signifies their centre line unless otherwise described;
  3. all villages, parishes, municipalities, cities and Indian reserves lying within the perimeter of an electoral district are included, unless otherwise described;
  4. all First Nations territories lying within the perimeter of the electoral district are included, unless otherwise described;
  5. 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 January 2021;
  6. the translation of the terms street, avenue and boulevard follows Treasury Board standards, while the translation of all other public thoroughfare designations is based on commonly used terms but has no official recognition; and
  7. all geographic coordinates are in reference to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83).
