Statistics Canada divides the province of Alberta into nineteen census divisions. Unlike in some other provinces, census divisions do not reflect a level of local government in Alberta.
Alberta's census divisions consist of numerous census subdivisions. The types of census subdivisions within an Alberta census division may include:[1][2]
- cities, towns, villages, and summer villages (urban municipalities);
- specialized municipalities;
- municipal districts, special areas, and improvement districts (rural municipalities);
- Indian reserves; and
- Indian settlements.
