Supplement no. 4 is issued by Standards Division to inform users on (1) a change of the name of one geographic area and (2) the treatment of bilingual geographic names.
1. Change of name - Census Agglomeration (CA)
As of January 1, 2004,Footnote 1 the following CA name has been changed:
Divisions releasing data for that CA are expected to implement the new name at the earliest opportunity. Users should be aware that its code and geographic boundary have not changed ( i.e. , it is the same boundary set up as of January 1, 2001).
2. Guidelines for reporting bilingual geographic names
On October 18, 2004 the Methods and Standards Committee approved the following guidelines:
In the case of the following bilingual Census Subdivision (CSD) names in the Standard Geographical Classification 2001, the following labels and format will be used:
New Brunswick:
Ontario:
In the case of Greater Sudbury / Grand Sudbury, the naming convention will be applied at the CMA (Census Metropolitan Area) and CD (Census Division) levels as well.
These names ( i.e. , English name space / space French name) apply to publications or tables in English, French or in bilingual formats released in print or electronically.
Divisions releasing data for these CSD s and the CMA and CD of Greater Sudbury / Grand Sudbury are expected to implement the new name at the earliest opportunity.
As of September 16, 2002, the Methods and Standards Committee decided that changes to geographic names will be issued as supplements of the Standard Geographical Classification without direct approval from the Methods and Standards Committee.
In addition to the treatment of bilingual geographic name, the former CSD name "The Nation Municipality" has been changed to "The Nation", see "Interim List of Changes to Municipal Boundaries, Status, and Names" (from January 2, 2004 to January 1, 2005).
The relationship between the North American Industry Classification System 2002 (NAICS) and revision 1.1 of the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE) is shown below in a concordance table. The table shows the Canadian interpretation of the relationships between the two classifications.
The concordance is shown at the lowest level of both classifications, namely at the 6-digit level in NAICS and the 4-digit level in NACE.
The relationships between the two classifications can be simple or complex. The following examples are presented to illustrate how the table should be read.
In the first example, one NAICS Canada class relates to exactly one NACE class.
| NAICS 2002 | NACE Rev. 1.1 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 212210 | Iron Ore Mining | 13.10 | Mining of iron ores |
In the second example, one NACE class is equivalent to more than one NAICS class. The asterisk (Partial Flag) indicates that part of NACE 15.84 is equivalent to each NAICS class. The NACE activities corresponding to each NAICS class are listed in the column labelled "Link".
| NAICS 2002 | NACE Rev. 1.1 | Link | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 311320 | Chocolate and Confectionery Manufacturing from Cacao Beans | 15.84 * | Manufacture of cocoa; chocolate and sugar confectionery | Chocolate and confectionery, made from cacao beans |
| 311330 | Confectionery Manufacturing from Purchased Chocolate | 15.84 * | Manufacture of cocoa, chocolate and sugar confectionery | Confectionery, made from purchased chocolate |
| 311340 | Non-Chocolate Confectionery Manufacturing | 15.84 * | Manufacture of cocoa, chocolate and sugar confectionery | Non-chocolate confectionery, manufacturing |
In the third example, one NAICS Canada class is equivalent to more than one NACE class.
