Demographics
gollark: Oh well, blame lyricly.
gollark: I'm working on a (non-contest, obviously) version which will do I/O better.
gollark: I can rewrite it iteratively, if it's a horrible issue.
gollark: Look, I can fix that if you want, eventually.
gollark: async/await syntax makes it simpler, but I would still have to sprinkle awaits everywhere and it would be annoying.

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. The 2011 population count of the LSD was only 2,947[7] and the rural community had the same boundaries as the LSD.
