| Notes: - Many terms used in the Canada Year Books are no longer used today for reasons such as their offensive connotations, changes in place name or organization name, or terms becoming obsolete. These terms have been left as they appear in the original yearbooks. - Figures for 1920 to 1936 are given in the Canada Year Book, 1938, pp. 993 to 997, and for 1937 to 1962 in the corresponding table of subsequent editions. |
