![DIVISIONS OF ALBERTA FOR CENSUS AND VITAL STATISTICS PURPOSES As the Province of Alberta is not divided into Counties, and the political divisions are not permanently fixed, it has been found c dvisable to use as smaller areas, the Dominion Census Divisions. The Province is divided into 17 census divisions. These divisions are further subdivided into organized municipal areas. These municipal areas, which were each originally within the boundaries of a single census division, have been reorganized by the Provincial authorities into larger units, and now, in many cases, part of the new municipality or improvement district is in one census division and part in another. The following table shows the census divisions divided into municipalities, improvement districts, cities, towns and villages, with the 1946 and 1941 division population figures. The table is arranged to show the population of each of the former municipal districts, improvement districts or parts of districts included in the new units. Each new unit in the table is in blackface type. The former area or areas which make up the new units are listed directly beneath.
