Interprovincial regions[edit]
- French Canada
- English Canada, sometimes known as the Rest of Canada (excluding Quebec) when considering topics of language
Provincial regions[edit]
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.
