gollark: I also need to chunkload stuff like the MELON™ supply.
gollark: Wait, removing the weirding gadget? What's the replacement?
gollark: OR DO YOU?
gollark: Something like that, but it's not because of higher or lower gravity.
gollark: If you go deeper underwater, then the change in pressure isn't due to higher gravity - it's not significant enough of a change - but... more being above you, or something, so it's compressed more?

Notes
- 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.
