Mapping of Alberta Health geographic structures, corridors to constituent councils

NW: #1, #3, #4
NE: #2
Edmonton: #5, #6, #7, #8, #9
Central: #10
Calgary: #11, #12
SW: #13
SE: #14

Average size of a "corridor" is 2 councils. Four corridors are coincident with a single council. Other three corridors are 2, 3, and 5 councils large.

These geographic structures presumably are replicated in at least 7 functional structures.... 1/2
