Description: Part of the Elections NWT mandate is to provide maps to all the Deputy Returning Officers and for candidate use during the periodic NWT Elections. To create these maps requires accurate boundaries of each of the 19 Electoral Districts of the NWTt. Previous versions of the required maps had been created by Earth Tec of Edmonton in Autocad format. These maps were not very detailed and within communities did not include the complete extent of the Electoral DistrictUsing Schedule A from the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act of the GNWT, the legal descriptions were used to create each Electoral District. The existing legal descriptions were reviewed and issues are detailed in the supplemental information. The Chief Electoral Officer did not believe that these would affect any potential voters so they will be addressed as part of the Electoral Boundary Commission.At the very end of the project, the decision was made to also include digital polling division boundaries. These boundaries were based on a document: 2011 Polling Divisions_Descriptions and Keys_24 June 2011.docx provided by Elections NWT. The polling division descriptions were created by each Electoral District and were not consistent or clear. The Chief Electoral Officer had to make interpretations on some boundary locations. This dataset only includes boundaries but no attributes.It was noted that Yellowknife, Hay River and Inuvik had street addresses as part of their community maps. Parcel and street number data as shapefiles was acquired from theCity of Yellowknife, Lot/parcel/block and street annotation was acquired from AECOM via the Town of Inuvik. The Earth Tech data was the best available for Hay River as it does not appear as though the Town of Hay River has any digital property related data.Hard copy version of the Hay River street addresses were compared to the Earth Tech data and there were not significant changes to the street names to update them. At the end of the project, an attempt was made to correct some street names where problems were known.Statistics NWT does have street addressing for all NWT Communities that do have street addresses. The data was reviewed, however attributes were not compatible with MACA attribute data.
