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. Route 490
  3. The name was originally styled Saint Paul; this was changed to the modern form in 1985. The French name was in the modern style when the LSD regulation was made bilingual in 1984.
