[edit] City, or Township
The article mentions Esquimalt being incorporated as a city in 1912; yet the municipality is officially a township, which I don't believe is equivalent to a city. In fact, where I come from (Ontario), townships are generally a kind of rural municipality. So, what is Esquimalt's actual status?66.183.165.57 01:58, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
As the article says it is a (district) municipality. This is because the area incorporated is greater than 800 hectares and has an average population density of less than 5 persons per hectare. I assume the laws were different in 1912, because the province had a much smaller population at that time, and people weren't so hung up on titles for communities. =) The other definitions are here. - TheMightyQuill 05:04, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Esquimalt today
This section reads a lot like a Chamber of Commerce pamphlet. Some information on the economy, demographics (not just a StatsCan list but basic info on trends) and the impact of/relationship with CFB Esquimalt (or even a wikilink) would be handy. Happy to contribute, but I'm not in BC so someone with a better knowledge of the area would probably be better suited. Blotto adrift 14:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
