Question
We have researchers working on Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick. They would like to utilize 1971 Census data. In print, this is easy, as Grand Manan is a Census Subdivision on CD5 (Charlotte).
However, as I interpret the BST files, they do not refer to CD's or CSD's. Is there a way to find the Electoral District for Grand Manan, or its EA code(s) for 1971?
Answer
There were actually a number of BST files at the CSD level (called 'municipality' in 1971. See:

And according to the Geography tape file from the 1971 census, Grand Manaan NB is in CD 3, CSD 05A, which as far as I can tell, would seem to be FED 1=Carleton-Charlotte (1966 representation order), and EAs 9 and 10.
