Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) 2006

Volume I (Preliminary) The Classification

This version has been replaced by Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) 2006 Volume I (Final) The Classification, which was released on January 16, 2007.

The Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) is Statistics Canada's official classification of geographic areas in Canada. The SGC provides unique numeric codes for three types of geographic areas: provinces and territories, census divisions (counties, regional municipalities), and census subdivisions (municipalities). The three geographic areas are hierarchically related; a seven-digit code is used to show this relationship. In addition to the SGC units, metropolitan areas with their component census subdivisions are included.
