Geography used in the BCMD

The Manufacturers' Directory uses three levels of geography - Development Region, Regional District and City - allowing companies to be searched based on a general area or specific location.

City: The city field is a combination of incorporated municipalities, designated place names and localities.

Regional District: Group of neighbouring municipalities joined together for the purposes of regional planning and managing common services (such as police or ambulance services).

Development Region: A grouping of Regional Districts created as a standard geographic unit for analysis of regional economic activity.
