Delineation

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. Poor wording in the 1952 Revised Statutes was made even worse in 1973. The boundary line runs along the rear of grants on the southern side of the Kouchibouguacis River.[3]
