1. A census metropolitan area (CMA) consists of one or more neighbouring municipalities situated around a major urban core. A CMA must have a total population of at least 100,000 of which 50,000 or more live in the urban core. To be included in the CMA, other adjacent municipalities must have a high degree of integration with the central urban area, as measured by commuting flows derived from census data. A CMA typically comprises more than one police service. 2. CMA populations have been adjusted to follow policing boundaries. 3. The Oshawa CMA is excluded from this table due to the incongruity between the police service jurisdictional boundaries and the CMA boundaries. 4. Gatineau refers to the Quebec part of the Ottawa-Gatineau CMA. 5. Ottawa refers to the Ontario part of the Ottawa-Gatineau CMA.
