CMA boundary file (by FSA)

Question

Does anyone know if there are boundary files for CMAs by FSA, and what the path to them would be?

Answer

I confirmed with our geography consultant that no such file exists. According to the consultant, a user would have to take the two separate layers (CMA and FSA), and join/select the FSA's within CMA's spatially. Even then, FSA's do not respect any of our standard areas and would not match the CMA's boundaries.

Follow-up Question


Thanks very much; that makes sense to me. Do you know the path to the 2001 CMA boundary file?

Follow-up Answer



As requested, here are the paths to the 2001 cartographic boundary files for CMAs:

Arcinfo: /dli/geography/2001/spatial-spatiale/arcinfo/cbf_second_edition-flc_deuxieme_edition/national/cmaca-rmrar

Mapinfo: /dli/geography/2001/spatial-spatiale/mapinfo/cbf_second_edition-flc_deuxieme_edition/national/cmaca-rmrar
