Get 2016 Census geographies and geographic attributes for a geographic level.

Description

This function provides an interface to Statistics Canada's 2016 Census geographies Web Data Service (WDS) and returns the geographic identifiers (i.e., DGUIDs) for a geographic level. These DGUIDs are useful because you can use them to query StatsCan's other APIs to retrieve census data.

Please see StatsCan's website for more information:
