National regions
Although these regions have no official status or defined boundaries the Provinces and territories are sometimes informally grouped into the following regions (generally from west to east):
All provinces and territories | Seven-region model | Six-region model | Five-region model | Four-region model | Three-region model | Senate divisions |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
British Columbia | British Columbia | Western Canada | Western Canada (24 seats) | |||
Alberta | Alberta | Prairies | ||||
Saskatchewan | Saskatchewan & Manitoba | |||||
Manitoba | ||||||
Ontario | Ontario | Central Canada | Eastern Canada | Ontario (24 seats) | ||
Quebec | Quebec | Quebec (24 seats) | ||||
New Brunswick | Atlantic Canada | Maritimes (24 seats) | ||||
Prince Edward Island | ||||||
Nova Scotia | ||||||
Newfoundland and Labrador | Newfoundland and Labrador (6 seats) | |||||
Yukon | Northern Canada (Territories) | Territories (3 seats) | ||||
Northwest Territories | ||||||
Nunavut |
Other regions are:
- English Canada, sometimes known as the Rest of Canada (excluding Quebec) when considering topics of language
- French Canada
- Pacific Canada
- Acadia
- Quebec City – Windsor Corridor
Seats in the Senate are equally divided among four regions: Maritimes, Quebec, Ontario, and the West, with special status for Newfoundland and Labrador, and Northern Canada ('the North').
Provincial regions
The provinces and territories are all sub-divided into regions for a variety of official and unofficial purposes. In some provinces, the regions have been officially defined by their respective governments. In others, the "regions" have no official status.
