Note 1.

CMA-E are not spatially mutually exclusive--they overlap where a Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) polygon crosses more than one CMA boundary, as is the case in Vancouver and Abbotsford–Mission or Toronto and surrounding CMAs including Hamilton, Oshawa, Kitchener–Cambridge–Waterloo, Guelph, Brantford and Barrie. For this reason, CMA-E data should not be summed to generate a total and caution should be used when comparing data. See CMA-E maps in Section 3: Ecosystem accounts and statistics by census metropolitan area for a visual representation of the CMA-E boundaries.

Note 2.

The CLI: LU and CLUMP built-up data include roads located within the core-built-up area; however data for roads outside these areas are not available. The AAFC Land Use, 1990, 2000 and 2010 product provides data for settled area and roads. Data presented for roads in 1971 in Table A.1 and elsewhere in this report were modeled to enable comparisons over time.

Note 3.

This report defines settled area as built-up area not including roads.
