ESRI ArcGIS shapefiles portraying the boundaries of Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Tracts from the 1951 Census of Canada. The shapefiles were created using data from the printed 1951 maps. As some of the printed maps were not to scale or incomplete, it is highly advisable to check both the metadata and comments table before using these files.
