Description: This data is used to represent the boundaries of land defining communities that have been declared as a Settlement under the Settlements Act or incorporated under the Charter Communities Act, the Cities, Towns and Villages Act, the Hamlets Act or the Settlements Act. This data set is not to be used for defining the exact location of the boundaries; administrative decisions should be based on legal documents and legal survey plans.
Community Boundaries: This data represents the defined boundaries of geographic areas within which each community can realistically and regularly enforce its authority over all matters within its jurisdiction. The community boundary reflects a sense of common association whereby people within that boundary relate to the locality as a centre for services. The boundary is of such a size and scope as to allow the community government the capability to meet reasonable service demands for municipal services to be delivered in a cost-effective manner to all community residents. The dataset is periodically updated on a community-wide scale. To see a current list of the last updates to all of the MACA datasets see http://gis.maca.gov.nt.ca/website/Atlas_Data_Updates.pdf.
