Ministry of Natural Resources area, district and region administrative boundaries (1997-2022)

This data represents the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) administrative boundaries from 1997-2022.

Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) administrative areas divide Ontario into smaller organizational units. These units were used to manage ministry programs and resources at a district and regional level.

Regional and district boundaries were originally created based on:

  • metes and bounds
  • topographic features
  • geographic townships boundaries
  • territorial district boundaries
