Notes
  1. Civil parishes served a variety of government functions until 1966, when the new Municipalities Act stripped them of their responsibilities; parishes continue to provide convenient boundaries for federal and provincial electoral 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 LSD of the parish of Woodstock includes one property that extends into Richmond Parish
