Notes
  1. Civil parishes served a variety of government functions until 1966, when the new Municipalities Act stripped them of their responsibilities; they continue to provide convenient boundaries for government uses, especially electoral districts and local service districts. Statistics Canada uses civil parishes as census subdivisions for all parts of the province that are not within municipalities and similar entities.
  2. Technically the northwestern part of Lorne. The community of Lorne extends into two parishes. Anyone from the Colborne part of the community is considered "Colbornian" as an ongoing joke for multiple generations.
