List of census divisions of Alberta
Statistics Canada divides the province of Alberta into nineteen census divisions. Unlike in some other provinces, census divisions do not reflect a level of local government in Alberta. These areas exist solely for the purposes of statistical analysis and presentation; they have no government of their own.
