Canada Circle Radius Population Challenge

The object of this quiz is to adjust each circle's radius so it contains the target population shown at the right. When you click Start you will be shown a marker on a random Canada dissemination area (there are over 55K dissemination areas across Canada, the smallest census tabulation area). Also you will see an adjustable circle of radius 100 km to start. Adjust the circle's radius by dragging it until it contains the target number of people shown - this target will be between 10K and 5 million people. Then click submit. You are scored on how close your circle's population is to the target. Circle population is tallied by totaling all output areas within that circle.

“Lajemmerais” in Quebec should be renamed to “Marguerite-D’Youville”. Lajemmerais is the old name and is no longer used in most scenarios.

Below the text box it reads “Next answer bonus at 100.” but there are no time bonuses in this quiz.
“Northumberland” registers 2 answers, but only the NB county is highlighted in green, the ON one stays red.
NWT has 6 numbered census divisions, but it also now has 5 named administrative divisions, if you want to use those.
Powell River regional district in BC has been renamed “qathet”

And a suggestion: Maybe add provincial/territorial stats in the sidebar, so you can see how many divisions from each province you’ve completed without looking at the map, in line with most of your other quizzes? Or maybe population-based groupings now that the 2021 census data is out. That would be cool to see.

Seems to be missing data in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, NWT and Newfoundland and Labrador.
