It has been cycling back and forth as to what is included or not. If it's restricted to only cities, then some significant population centres are omitted, which diminishes the effectiveness of the list. (I don't think someone reading this template cares whether or not a place is, legally speaking, a city. They're more likely to be interested in what the larger population centres are.) Plus, the template would omit (for example) the District of North Vancouver and the Township of Langley, but include the adjacent (and significantly smaller) City of North Vancouver and City of Langley (respectively). I seem to recall an earlier argument that it was to do with matching the other provincial templates. From what I can see, the only standard with the other templates is that they're all non-standard. Some have counties, some have electoral districts, etc. Definite improvement, and the population breakdown is even better. --<a href="/wiki/User:Ckatz" title="User:Ckatz">Ckatz</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Subdivisions_of_British_Columbia#c-Ckatz-2006-06-04T01:56:00.000Z-Fishhead64-2006-06-04T01:47:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Ckatz-2006-06-04T01:56:00.000Z-Fishhead64-2006-06-04T01:47:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Ckatz-2006-06-04T01:56:00.000Z-Fishhead64-2006-06-04T01:47:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Regional_Districts_should_not_be_used_in_this_template" data-mw-thread-id="h-Regional_Districts_should_not_be_used_in_this_template-2007-04-27T04:51:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Regional_Districts_should_not_be_used_in_this_template-2007-04-27T04:51:00.000Z"></span>Regional Districts should not be used in this template<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Regional_Districts_should_not_be_used_in_this_template-2007-04-27T04:51:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:Subdivisions_of_British_Columbia&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Regional Districts should not be used in this template"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Skookum1-2007-04-27T04:51:00.000Z-Regional_Districts_should_not_be_used_in_this_template"></span>They are not "natural" districts but governmental-administrative ones, subject to political flexitude and boundary changes from regime to regime; not all "natural" or historical-geographic region articles are written yet, but once they are they shoudl replace the RDs here.<a href="/wiki/User:Skookum1" title="User:Skookum1">Skookum1</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Subdivisions_of_British_Columbia#c-Skookum1-2007-04-27T04:51:00.000Z-Regional_Districts_should_not_be_used_in_this_template" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:51, 27 April 2007 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Skookum1-2007-04-27T04:51:00.000Z-Regional_Districts_should_not_be_used_in_this_template"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Skookum1-2007-04-27T04:51:00.000Z-Regional_Districts_should_not_be_used_in_this_template"></span> </p> <ul><li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Tompw-2007-04-27T11:18:00.000Z-Skookum1-2007-04-27T04:51:00.000Z"></span>What's wrong with having both? <a href="/wiki/User:Tompw" title="User:Tompw">Tom<small>pw</small></a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Tompw" title="User talk:Tompw">talk</a>) <small>(<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Editor_review/Tompw" title="Wikipedia:Editor review/Tompw">review</a>)</small> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Subdivisions_of_British_Columbia#c-Tompw-2007-04-27T11:18:00.000Z-Skookum1-2007-04-27T04:51:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:18, 27 April 2007 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Tompw-2007-04-27T11:18:00.000Z-Skookum1-2007-04-27T04:51:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Tompw-2007-04-27T11:18:00.000Z-Skookum1-2007-04-27T04:51:00.000Z"></span></li></ul> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Skookum1-2007-04-27T14:29:00.000Z-Tompw-2007-04-27T11:18:00.000Z"></span>Well, then, why not include Forest Districts, Mining Districts, Health Districts, Environment Ministry Regions etc; none of which coincide with RD boundaries/labels. And <i>nobody</i> says "Hi, I'm from the Cariboo Regional Disrict" or "Hi, I'm from the Regional District of Boundary Kootenay" - they say "Hi, I'm from the Cariboo" or "Hi, I'm from the Kootenays". "Subdivisions of British Columbia isn't very helpful if you don't know what/where Mount Waddington or Comox-Strathcona is; and the Northern Rockies Regional District mostly isn't in the Rockies (it's mostly the Liard Plain), and the Northern Rockies start <i>way</i> down by Mt Robson; similar nomenclatural shortcomings are the <a href="/wiki/Stikine_Region" title="Stikine Region">Stikine Region</a>, which doesn't even include most of the <a href="/wiki/Stikine_Country" title="Stikine Country">Stikine Country</a> and is, in fact, mostly the <a href="/wiki/Atlin_Country" class="mw-redirect" title="Atlin Country">Atlin Country</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cassiar_Country" title="Cassiar Country">Cassiar Country</a>; and the Cariboo Regional District includes the very-distinct <a href="/wiki/Chilcotin_Country" title="Chilcotin Country">Chilcotin Country</a> but doesn't include all of the traditional Cariboo, parts of which are in the <a href="/wiki/Lillooet_Country" title="Lillooet Country">Lillooet Country</a>, parts of which are in the <a href="/wiki/Thompson_Country" title="Thompson Country">Thompson Country</a>. The Fraser Valley Regional District does not include the whole Fraser Valley (meaning the Lower Fraser Valley, not as in the outsider usages that refer to Lillooet and Williams Lake as "Fraser Valley towns"), and the GVRD doesn't include all of Greater Vancouver. The only place an RD-based template has any kind of validity is on incorporated town/village/city/district articles and on their electoral areas; as the RDs are formed of reps from municipalities (usually their mayors) and the representatives from their rural Electoral Areas. They're useless to "navigate" with as nobody thinks in terms of them, and somebody from outside BC won't find them very useful, cf. <a href="/wiki/Stikine_Region" title="Stikine Region">Stikine Region</a> and all those other examples again. <i>Also</i> GUARANTEED next time there's a change of government, or perhaps even without one often enough, the RD boundaries get moved around to keep the bureaucrats and number-crunchers happy. It's not like counties in the US or Ontario or the Maritimes; the equivalent to counties here is our "Countries", and they're the only consistent usage across time from the founding of the colonies and before; thousands of articles will have to be rejigged, without any bot-ability, if RDs are used as the main subdivision system for BC, whether as a template or in <a href="/wiki/Category:Geographic_regions_of_British_Columbia" title="Category:Geographic regions of British Columbia">Category:Geographic regions of British Columbia</a>.

Regional Districts are parallel to counties or districts in other provinces as formal, administrative subdivisions. To say that one is from the Cariboo is roughly equivalent to an Ontarian saying that he or she is from the <a href="/wiki/Lakehead" class="mw-disambig" title="Lakehead">Lakehead</a>. It references an imprecise area. At least as one drives around the province, one knows when they're entering a new jurisdiction. As for boundary changes, I have to confess I was not aware that the boundaries routinely shifted. I've lived in four regional districts in my lifetime (<a href="/wiki/Capital_Regional_District" title="Capital Regional District">Capital</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fraser-Fort_George_Regional_District" class="mw-redirect" title="Fraser-Fort George Regional District">Fraser-Fort George</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fraser_Valley_Regional_District" title="Fraser Valley Regional District">Fraser Valley</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Greater_Vancouver_Regional_District" class="mw-redirect" title="Greater Vancouver Regional District">Greater Vancouver</a>), and to my knowledge the boundaries have remained constant, encompassing set electoral areas.</dd> <dd>I believe a template on the subdivsions of British Columbia needs to focus on what actually, legally exists in this province—not these historic, informally-defined areas, which should have a template of their own.

So I'm not "from" the Fraser Valley Regional District, I'm "from" the Dewdney-Alouette Regional District, in the terms you're talking; but to me I'm - if speaking in regional terms - from the Central Fraser Valley, or the Fraser Valley, or the Lower Mainland or even Greater Vancouver (though in my day that ended, eassily, at the Pitt River); similarly <a href="/wiki/George_Cowan" title="George Cowan">George Cowan</a> an <a href="/wiki/George_Anthony_Boomer_Walkem" class="mw-redirect" title="George Anthony Boomer Walkem">George Anthony Boomer Walkem</a> and <a href="/wiki/Billy_Barker" class="mw-disambig" title="Billy Barker">Billy Barker</a> were not "from" the Cariboo Regional District, but from the <i>Cariboo</i>; Forbes George Vernon wasn't from North Okanagan RD or Columbia-Shuswap RD (whichever their spreads are), he was from the Okanagan (in technical terms he was from the Okanagan subdivision of the Yale Land District...or is that the Okanagan subdivisions of the Kamloops Sub-district of the Yale Land District; <a href="/wiki/Ma_Murray" class="mw-redirect" title="Ma Murray">Ma</a> and <a href="/wiki/George_Matheson_Murray" title="George Matheson Murray">George Murray</a> were from Lillooet/the Lillooet Country and <a href="/wiki/Clement_Francis_Cornwall" title="Clement Francis Cornwall">Clement Francis Cornwall</a> wasn't from the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, he was from the Thompson Country (by "from" here I obviously don't mean as in Ma Murray was from Kansas, so-and-so was from Perthshire or Belfast whatever). .This is even more important for historical figures, in other words, before regional districts were created and British Columbians still referred to being in the Lillooet District or Similkameen District, which were Land/Mines Districts and a Mines District, respectively (which <i>did</i> have precise boundaries); prior to their creation there were no regional councils, just the Government Agent for each of their respective districts. And it's cheating (for this "argument" I mean) citing somebody who was actually on the board of one of these not-counties, that's like saying someone is "from the provincial government" (as indeed someone can be, though not usually in the desired sense). The only people I know who refer to RDs in regular parlance (who don't work for them, or for one of their component munis or some other gov/media organ) are the people who have to live under their misrule outside of municipalities, i.e. in the Electoral Areas; but there's no way one of my acquaintances from the Bridge River would say, unless being specific for electoral purposes or in explaining to you which Electoral Area he/she is in would say "I'm from the SLRD". To say <i>that</i> would mean that you're an official of the SLRD, an the only reason you'd be offered coffee is to get you away from the part of the property where you don't want them to see the new foundation you're pouring or a diversion ditch that hasn't been approved...in general the RDs are held in contempt by those who have the most to do with them, unless they need the RD to help them get/stop something in which case they'll kiss-up...it's not a way people refer to where they're from, and while it may be handy for governments (and encyclopedists) to parcel out these things, nobody else does.

Clearly, it's disingenuous to say that so-and-so is from a jurisdiction that had not yet been created. For the record, I object to articles like <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Vetch" title="Samuel Vetch">this</a> - an example where someone who never lived in Canada, and in fact never lived to see even the term "Canada" applied to a jurisdiction, categorised as "Canadian." It's anachronistic, which I think is your point.</dd> <dd>Having said that, regional districts have existed for over forty years, their boundaries (now, in any event) are fairly static (and, if not, neither have been the boundaries of Canadian provinces and territories), and they are actual administrative jurisdictions, not colloquial concepts. One is capable of being from many different "places" at once.</dd> <dd>The point is, regardless of one's particular POV concerning regional districts, they are legal jurisdictions, thus appropriate to a template that contains legal jurisdictions. My suggestion is that you create a separate template, something like <a href="/wiki/Category:Geographic_regions_of_British_Columbia" title="Category:Geographic regions of British Columbia">Category:Geographic regions of British Columbia</a>.

Note that I changed that cat name you cited as it already exists with small-r "regions", which is where I placed all the new "Country" cats and also made subcats for Regional Districts and whatever RD cats there are; as per Keefer4's suggestion somewhere I've also created separate subcats for Regional Districts of the Coast/Interior; there's only a handful that are both - the SLRD and KSRD come to mind, might be one other but I don't think so; thought of subcatting the Coast RD cat to "RDs on Vancouver Island" and "RDs in the Lower Mainland" (even if there's only two.....at present); "RDs on the Central Coast" would include Mt Waddington as well as Central Coast, so again only two; the Interior is the big-population one for that of course; what I mean here is that grouping RDs under the bigger meta-regions helps, although the bulk of the "Countries" tend to be combined in RDs (e.g. Chilcotin Country and part of Nechako Country are in the Cariboo RD - but not in the Cariboo <i>per se</i>).<a href="/wiki/User:Skookum1" title="User:Skookum1">Skookum1</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Subdivisions_of_British_Columbia#c-Skookum1-2007-04-27T21:28:00.000Z-Fishhead64-2007-04-27T20:36:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:28, 27 April 2007 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Skookum1-2007-04-27T21:28:00.000Z-Fishhead64-2007-04-27T20:36:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Skookum1-2007-04-27T21:28:00.000Z-Fishhead64-2007-04-27T20:36:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Skookum1-2007-04-27T21:31:00.000Z-Skookum1-2007-04-27T21:28:00.000Z"></span>Tweaked that cat name again, missed geographical vs geographic; I guess what you meant was <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Template:Geographic_regions_of_British_Columbia&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Template:Geographic regions of British Columbia (page does not exist)">Geographic regions of British Columbia</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span>....Keef and I and others (?) have debated what to call them, though - Historical districts/region of British Columbia?

The traditional boundaries/regions may be informal and a bit loose (as with Cariboo which can include Clearwater and Kamloops over to Ashcroft and (wildly, to me) Lytton, but of course when you hit Clinton on Hwy 97 it says "Gateway to the Cariboo"....which for Lillooeters was always an odd boast because in the original meaning Lillooet was the southern nub of the Cariboo, not Clinton. Similarly the Boundary Country is "older" than the Okanagan or Kootenay (in organizational terms, i.e. as a Mining District and settled before both) but it's lumped in with either one now because it's been "gerrymandered" into larger jurisdictions; likewise the Similkameen,because of Okanagan-Similkameen, some people think is in the Okanagan. But the thing is that, little vagaries like this aside, there's no mistaking that Keremeos is in the Similkameen, or that 100 Mile House is in the Cariboo, or Mission is in the (Central or Lower) Fraser Valley; somebody who is from Hanceville or Anahim Lake isn't from the Cariboo, they're from the Chilcotin (even though those towns are in the Cariboo Regional District, and also the federal Cariboo riding; as was for a long time Whistler, in fact...) that there are overlaps is incidental; this is how people think/speak and classify the province in daily speech/use. And again, especially since the RDs are not the only subdivisions of government here - Health Districts, MoE and MoF and GEMS regions, tourism marketing regions ("Cariboo Coast Chilcotin" an that silly and ironic "Rainbow Country" for Chilliwack/Rosedale - but again those are terms nobody outside the groups who coined or are working under them use....). The Comox Valley is a region; the Comox-Strathcona Regional District is an admininstrative organism; it's not a useful subdivision or identifier.....and there are <i>other</i> options if subgovernmental districts are to be used - paramount above all the Land Districts, which though subdividable (as I've discovered, thinking they'd been fixed in colonial times) but don't get moved around like chessmen on the Board each time there's a change in the Municipal Affairs portfolio/policy.<a href="/wiki/User:Skookum1" title="User:Skookum1">Skookum1</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Subdivisions_of_British_Columbia#c-Skookum1-2007-04-27T20:18:00.000Z-Skookum1-2007-04-27T04:51:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:18, 27 April 2007 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Skookum1-2007-04-27T20:18:00.000Z-Skookum1-2007-04-27T04:51:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Skookum1-2007-04-27T20:18:00.000Z-Skookum1-2007-04-27T04:51:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Skookum1-2007-04-27T20:23:00.000Z-Skookum1-2007-04-27T20:18:00.000Z"></span>Consider this: when this current bunch either gets voted out or is forced to resign or however they're going to meet their political-mortal end (as all regimes do, eventually) and the RDs are shuffled......how many thousands of BC articles and the associated categories are going to have to be fixed/realigned/reassed. It won't be something you can do bot-omatically, either. I'm trying to establish a subdivisions system that won't change with whims of government or over time; which is why I prefer the historical regions, which though overlapping and <i>sometimes</i> vague have remained in steady use for in some cases over 150 years (a slight few had existed as names before, e.g. Cowichan Valley) and can't be fiddled with by governments; they're such powerful names that they get <i>used</i> in RD names, e.g. Columbia-Shuswap or Boundary Kootenay (which for some weird reason doesn't use a hyphen....) and so on.....but they're the actual name, and don't derive from the RD, but the other way around.

RDs are federations of municipalities so if there are going to be two sets of listings I like having both RDs and municipalities. I have no objection to adding another listing or another template with some other thematical/regional breakdown(s). Yes, things will change (not anytime soon though) and someone clever will make the changes (don't worry about it). The new 'historical' regions are intuitive and will make fine categories. The Stikine Region probably shouldn't be in the list of Regional Districts.</li></ul> <dl><dd>P.S. While we are at it (a) I object to the term "Large suburban communities", these are municipalies in their own right. (b) I would like to see more regional representation. They are currently listed by population (because it's convenient, I guess).

As for the RD-based template I'm all OK for a template that would appear only on articles that directly have to do with RDs - the component municipalities, regional parks, electoral areas, RD-based orgs and so on. Doesn't work with First Nations (Reserves are outside RDs because they're outside the Municipal Act) or Provincial Parks (which are not governed/regionalized by RDs, but by MoE Parks regions). So I'd say use the "Country"-based template/subdivisions for everything else, and confine/breakaway the RD template so it's only on RD-related pages. Very pointedly, any town or person from the era before the legislation establishing Regional Districts (post-WWII sometime, during WAC's tenure I think) is entirely anachronistic and just doesn't wash; of course my main interests are historical articles, and FN a4rticles, and that's why I find it inappropriate, and also jarring; and I can guarantee you the <a href="/wiki/Squamish_Nation" title="Squamish Nation">Squamish Nation</a> doesn't consider itself "in" the GVRD, likewise the <a href="/wiki/Lillooet_Tribal_Council" title="Lillooet Tribal Council">Lillooet Tribal Council</a> would sneer if we put <a href="/wiki/Category:Squamish-Lillooet_Regional_District" title="Category:Squamish-Lillooet Regional District">Category:Squamish-Lillooet Regional District</a> on their page.....And you're more optimistic about the lifespan of the current government than I am.....<a href="/wiki/User:Skookum1" title="User:Skookum1">Skookum1</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Subdivisions_of_British_Columbia#c-Skookum1-2007-04-28T02:13:00.000Z-Regional_Districts_should_not_be_used_in_this_template" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:13, 28 April 2007 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Skookum1-2007-04-28T02:13:00.000Z-Regional_Districts_should_not_be_used_in_this_template"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Skookum1-2007-04-28T02:13:00.000Z-Regional_Districts_should_not_be_used_in_this_template"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Fishhead64-2007-04-28T05:13:00.000Z-Skookum1-2007-04-28T02:13:00.000Z"></span>I still think the two-template, two-category approach works best: This template and a new one <a href="/w/index.php?title=Template:Geographical_regions_of_British_Columbia&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Template:Geographical regions of British Columbia (page does not exist)">Template:Geographical regions of British Columbia</a>.

British Columbia has census divisions, and my understanding of the original idea behind the reworking of the template last summer was that we were strictly going to include incorporated communities according to size. Before the most recent reworking, the municipalities were lined as follows: Communities over 100,000; 75,000—100,000; 50,000—75,000, Other major communities (see <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Subdivisions_of_British_Columbia&oldid=56755309">here</a>).

RD Electoral Areas are scarcely communities, though often scanning several within a wide-ranging boundary;they're also redundant as a section here because RDs themselves are listed separately. What I'm weighing in on, though, is the inclusion of the ghost towns here, also the First Nations; granted, there is no separate <a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_unincorporated_settlements_in_British_Columbia&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="List of unincorporated settlements in British Columbia (page does not exist)">List of unincorporated settlements in British Columbia</a> or <a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_First_Nations_communities_in_British_Columbia&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="List of First Nations communities in British Columbia (page does not exist)">List of First Nations communities in British Columbia</a> but these should be the terms of reference; the ghost towns are not all relevant as habited, or even ever habited; and the link to the First Nations directly isn't quite right, as even within a given reserve there can be more than one community potentially listed; in general b3ecause many aboriginal communities are also non-aboriginal, and many incorporated settltements are heavily aboriginal either from flanking major reserves or even without them, I'm not sure tehre's a point in trying to list aboriginal communities separately; the rough equivlanet ot actual First Nations if the RDs, though not in a protocolic sense. Anyway the sections here jump over towns and villages to go straight from municipalities to FNs and ghost towns; this isn't right.

Oyama et al exist as discrete electoral wards and may or may not appear in the Lake Country District Municipality letters patent, but I imagine the majority see no mention in the consolidated statutes. In that respect, yes, they're like an unincorporated community, in there isn't a municipal corporation with their name but they do nonetheless exist in terms of Wikipedia articles. They aren't strictly speaking <i>unincorporated</i> though, as they fall within a municipality. <a href="/wiki/User:The_Tom" title="User:The Tom">The Tom</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:The_Tom" title="User talk:The Tom">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Subdivisions_of_British_Columbia#c-The_Tom-2008-02-09T18:58:00.000Z-Qyd-2008-02-06T15:35:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:58, 9 February 2008 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-The_Tom-2008-02-09T18:58:00.000Z-Qyd-2008-02-06T15:35:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-The_Tom-2008-02-09T18:58:00.000Z-Qyd-2008-02-06T15:35:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Skookum1-2008-02-09T19:34:00.000Z-The_Tom-2008-02-09T18:58:00.000Z"></span>The parallel would seem to be Clayburn and Bradner and Matsqui and Clearbrook and Huntingdon and so on within the City of Abbotsford, or Stave Falls and Steelhead and Silverdale, Silverhill, Cedar Valley, Hatzic and Ferndale and various others within the District of Mission; the distinction is that Oyama and its other Lake Country siblings (what a dumb name for a municipality....how realty-promo flavoured...) used to be incorporated separately (or not?).
