1. Data source: Statistics Canada, 2001 Census (20% sample)
2. Aboriginal people living in a geographic area as a proportion of the total population.
3. Aboriginal people are those persons who reported identifying with at least one Aboriginal group (e.g., North American Indian, Métis or Inuit) and/or those who reported being a Treaty Indian or a Registered Indian as defined by the Indian Act and/or those who were members of an Indian Band or First Nation.
4. Aboriginal population excludes institutional residents.
5. "Health regions" are defined by the provincial ministries of health. These are legislated administrative areas in all provinces except Nova Scotia. In Nova Scotia, the Ministry of Health uses statistical "zones" rather than its legislated administrative areas; the zones are aggregations of the nine district health authorities.
6. For complete Canadian coverage, each of the northern territories also represents a health region.
7. The health regions presented in this table are based on boundaries and names in effect as of June 2003.
8. A "peer group" is a grouping of health regions that have similar social and economic characteristics. The nine peer groups are identified by the letters A through I, which are appended to the health region 4-digit code.
9. In Ontario, Public health units (PHU) administer health promotion and disease prevention programs, and District health councils (DHC) are advisory, health planning organizations.
10. In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, health regions are referred to as Health Authorities (HA) or Regional Health Authorities (RHA).
11. The following symbols are used in Statistics Canada publications: (..) for figures not available and (...) for figures not appropriate or not applicable.
12. CANSIM table number 01090200.
