  Census Agglomeration (CA)  
  The Census Metropolitan Area, as well as the Census Agglomeration is a very large urban area (urban core) together with adjacent urban and rural areas that have a high degree of social and economic integration with the urban core. A CMA has an urban core population of at least 100,000 based on the previous census. A CA has an urban core population of at least 10,000 based on the previous census. The CA may be comprised of one or more CSD. 50% of the employed labour force live in the CSD and at least 25% of the employed labour force work in the CSD. A CMA may be consolidated with adjacent census agglomerations if they are socially and economically integrated, forming an area known as a consolidated CMA.  
     
  Census Division (CD)  
  Census Division is the term applied to areas established by provincial law which are intermediate geographic areas between the municipality (Census Subdivision) and the province level. Census Divisions represent counties, regional districts, regional municipalities and other types of provincially legislated areas.  
     
  Census Metropolitan Area (CMA)  
  The Census Metropolitan Area, as well as the Census Agglomeration is a very large urban area (urban core) together with adjacent urban and rural areas that have a high degree of social and economic integration with the urban core. A CMA has an urban core population of at least 100,000 based on the previous census. A CA has an urban core population of at least 10,000 based on the previous census. The CA may be comprised of one or more CSD. 50% of the employed labour force live in the CSD and at least 25% of the employed labour force work in the CSD. A CMA may be consolidated with adjacent census agglomerations if they are socially and economically integrated, forming an area known as a consolidated CMA.  
     
  Census Subdivision (CSD)  
  Applies to municipalities as determined by provincial legislation or their equivalent (i.e. Indian reserve).  
     
  Census Tract (CT)  
  Small geographic units representing urban or rural neighbourhood-like communities created in CMAs and CAs. They are homogeneous in economic status and social living conditions with a population between 2,500 and 8,000.  
     
  Centroid  
  The geographic centre of any polygon.  
     
  Cluster  
  A term used in geodemography which uses the principle of like attract like. In other words people with similar cultural backgrounds, outlooks and means tend to "cluster" or group together. Most important of all they tend to share consumer behaviour  
     
  Coordinate Systems  
  All geo-referenced data used are in Latitude/Longitude decimal degrees.  
     
  Currency  
  Measures how recently the geographic data was collected.  
     
  Cartesian coordinate system  
  A two-dimensional, planar coordinate system in which x measures horizontal distance and y measures vertical distance. Each point on the plane is defined by an x,y coordinate. Relative measures of distance, area, and direction are constant throughout the Cartesian coordinate plane.

  Cell  
  A Pixe with an associated quantifiable value, like height, temperature, density.  
     
  Centerline  
  A line digitized along the center of a linear geographic feature, such as a street or a river, that at a large enough scale would be represented by a polygon.

  Conic Projection  
  A projection made by projecting geographic features of the earth onto a tangent or secant cone that is wrapped around the globe in the manner of a party hat. The cone is then cut lengthwise and unrolled into a flat map

  Contour Line  
  A line drawn on a map that connects points of equal elevation above a datum, usually a mean sea level.

  Control Points  
  In mapping, a system of points with established horizontal and vertical positions that are used as fixed references for known ground points or specific locations.

  Cylindrical projection  
  A projection resulting from the conceptual projection of the earth's geographic features onto a tangent or secant cylinder wrapped around the globe. The cylinder is then cut and unrolled into a flat map.
