NOTES:
* all figures are cumulative and rounded off.

**The areas of ALR for FVRD and GVRD have been adjusted to reflect the changes in jurisdictional boundaries involving Central Fraser Valley, Dewdney Alouette, the original Greater Vancouver and Fraser Cheam RD’s. FVRD and GVRD did not exist in their current form at the time of ALR designation. Figures for these RD’s are estimates of ALR area at designation using GIS and ALR application database information.
