How do I assign headings to works that deal with new jurisdictions resulting from mergers? How do I assign qualifiers for communities absorbed into these newly created municipalities?
Assign the heading corresponding to the post-merger jurisdiction if the work covers all or most of the area. The bibliographic work may discuss only one or two of the communities absorbed into a new jurisdiction. Many municipalities now consist of large areas due to municipal restructuring. In general, qualify headings for these communities by only the province or territory if the municipality consists of several non-contiguous urban centres as well as rural areas. Examples: Lindsay (Ont.) not Lindsay (Kawartha Lakes, Ont.) Blenheim (Ont.) not Blenheim (Chatham-Kent (Ont.) Dartmouth (N.S.) not Dartmouth (Halifax Regional Municipality, N.S.) In the case of cities where contiguous urban areas occupy a large part of the municipality, structure the heading according to the usual rules for city sections. Examples: Dundas (Hamilton, Ont.) Carp (Ottawa, Ont.) Scarborough (Toronto, Ont.
