Communities

Parish population total does not include incorporated municipalities (in bold):

Demographics
gollark: At least it has generics now, after several years of it not having them and people claiming they weren't needed.
gollark: The best way to describe the problem is probably that it's just generally very hostile to abstraction.
gollark: I resent it somewhat, because while Go has very cool *libraries* and such, and the tooling at least seems to work nicely even if it's somewhat insane, the language is really unpleasant.
gollark: Why not copyright in general?
gollark: I've messed with Codex for a few things, and it's *generally* quite capable of matching my particular style of programming if it has a big sample of it to start with.

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 wording is a carryover from when the Act was originally written; the boundaries of Fredericton now take in part of the parish.
