List of regions of Canada

National regions

Although these regions have no official status or defined boundaries the Provinces and territories are sometimes informally grouped into the following regions (generally from west to east):

All provinces and territories Senate divisions Seven-region model[1] Six-region model Five-region model[2] Four-region model Three-region model
