I was a bit confused by terminology - I thought that Bjenk was referring
to LCTs. The one I live in looks like this:

Municipal boundaries
And even then, not all CSDs are municipalities. In Nova Scotia for instance
they have "county subdivisions" which have no legal standing at all and are
just StatsCan creations.

And even then, not all CSDs are municipalities. In Nova Scotia for instance

I'd suggest boundaries of actual municipalities are worthy of being added into
OSM, but not all CSDs fit that bill.

Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing: Census Divisions are
higher level and more regional boundaries. CSDs are municipal boundaries (in
OSM, level 8).

Morning Bjenk,
Just a heads up - municipal boundaries are best of they aren't just
straight up imported because they're usually done as relations. For
example, we generally add roads into the boundary relationship rather than
overlapping boundary and roads. Here's one I did before:

Bjenk, In NB there are issues with some census boundaries not matching with our administrative boundaries. The issue I am aware of was with the county boundaries. The census data that is analogous to our coun
Depends what boundaries you are talking about: City limits(admin_level=8)
there are a few(usually main cities) as for neighbourhoods (admin_level=9)
they are a rarity.

Hello,
Municipal boundaries correspond to census subdivisions (CSD). I have seen
that many municipalities do not have a boundary yet. Is it ok if I start
adding some boundaries based on CSDs? Having the boundaries is important to
make extractions and analysis at the municipal level.
