Data dissemination guidelines
Effective July 14, 2010, "Kitchener–Cambridge–Waterloo" is the official name of the CMA of Kitchener in the Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) 2006.
The following applies to data released in print, through CANSIM or electronically.
For non-Census products and programs, the new CMA name should be implemented at the earliest opportunity in any new release, regardless of the reference period of the data.
For the 2006 Census products, the former name will be maintained but a footnote should be added in any new release in The Daily text, or in any analytical text indicating the name change.
