BC Arts Council Annual Arts Awards Listing 2009 - 2010

The British Columbia Arts Council is an independent agency that supports arts and cultural activities including professional dance companies, art galleries, local museums and music festivals in communities across British Columbia. A critical part of the BC Arts Council mandate is to support arts and culture across the province by awarding grants to individuals or organizations in support of thriving arts and cultural communities throughout British Columbia. Awards are provided to individual artists and cultural organizations, including those focusing on specific or inter-related disciplines such as dance, media arts, publishing, literary arts, creative writing, theatre, performance art, music, museums, community engaged arts, visual arts and arts training. This dataset is a listing of awards and funding provided by the BC Arts Council, as well as their partner organizations, during 2009 - 2010.

Indicator Summary Data: Amount of Roaded & Roadless Area by Ecoregion in BC

This tabular dataset is the result of an analysis completed for the [Roads & Roadless Areas in B.C. indicator published on Environmental Reporting BC](http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/soe/indicators/land/roads.html). 

Roaded and roadless areas were determined using the B.C. [Digital Road Atlas](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/bb060417-b6e6-4548-b837-f9060d94743e), the best available single source of road data for British Columbia. The analysis was done on Digital Road Atlas data available as of May 1st, 2018. All paved roads and unpaved roads and trails that *allow* motorized vehicle use&mdash;as detailed in the [Digital Road Atlas Data Dictionary](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/bb060417-b6e6-4548-b837-f9060d94743e)&mdash;were included in the analysis. Some road features available in the [Digital Road Atlas](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/bb060417-b6e6-4548-b837-f9060d94743e) were excluded, including non-roads (ferry routes, proposed roads, pedestrian only roads, non-motorized trails and water access routes) and non-active roads (decommissioned and overgrown roads). Roaded areas were defined as areas within 500 metres of a road. Roadless areas were defined as areas greater than 500 metres from a road.

Areas are reported in hectares to three significant figures for two distance classes: 0 to 500m from a road (roaded) and greater than 500m from a road (not roaded) for British Columbia and for each [ecoregion](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content?id=80F98E32A7FC45B2AC8F838041CB98A9).

The [**R**](https://www.r-project.org/) code for reproducing this indicator summary data is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/bcgov/roadless-areas-indicator).

Internet Connectivity in Relation to B.C. Health Geographies Map

This web app is intended to be used to display where British Columbians can be anticipated to have access to three different levels of internet access: low-speed internet (less than 50Mb per second), high-speed internet (greater than 50Mb per second), and cellular network access. This web app was developed by Health System Information, Analysis and Reporting Division (HSIAR) to assist the efforts of HSIMIT in their endeavors to understand how internet access may create health inequities across the province.

Active Administrative Forfeiture Files Dataset

A list of Active Administrative Forfeiture Files including property type, unlawful activity, and seizing agency.Under the Civil Forfeiture Act, the director (Minister or delegate) may apply to the court for an order forfeiting to the government, (a) the whole of an interest in property that is proceeds of unlawful activity, or (b) the portion of an interest in property that is proceeds of unlawful activity. The director may also apply to the court for an order forfeiting to the government property that is an instrument of unlawful activity. Whether proceedings are initiated in court or administratively, they are not reliant on criminal charges or convictions arising from the alleged unlawful activity and apply only with respect to property or an interest in property located in British Columbia.

Informed Contributors - Limited Attributes

Areas with the potential for archaeological or cultural heritage resources, provided by informed contributors. The Informed Contributors layer provides a place for indigenous communities and other informed parties to identify areas of concern as “high potential” alongside existing and in-development archaeological predictive models. These identified locations of potential are intended to supplement archaeological predictive models with information that was not available when AOAs were developed, or for areas where no AOA has been created yet. Additionally, the Informed Contributors layer is able to be updated on an ongoing basis. New submissions for the informed contributors layer can be sent to archaeology@gov.bc.ca.

B.C. Ministry of Health Geographies Portal

The B.C. Ministry of Health has overall responsibility for ensuring that quality, appropriate, cost effective, and timely health services are available for all British Columbians.

One of the standards available that enable analysis and reporting of information for specific populations in B.C. is the Ministry’s geography classification. This classification is maintained by the Health Sector Information, Analysis and Reporting Division and includes Health Authorities (HA), Health Service Delivery Areas (HSDA), Local Health Areas (LHA), and Community Health Service Areas (CHSA). The CHSA is the most recent addition to the geography classification.

The geographies are nested, meaning that each HA is comprised of multiple HSDAs, each HSDA is comprised of multiple LHAs, and each LHA is comprised of one or multiple CHSAs. The geographies encompass all of B.C. so the classification is exhaustive of all land area in the province.

The online maps allow users to engage with any of these geography levels. This collection of maps presents version 2022 of the Ministry geography classification released in April 2023, as well as population data from the 2021 Census of Population.

Forest Tenure Chart Block Polygons

DEPRECATED - Deprecated data; viewable to the public until retired; no replacement.
Layers prefaced with FTEN are updated and maintained on an on-going and continuous basis as tenures are issued. This is the spatial layer reflecting operational activities.
  
The spatial layer for a chart block, which is a legally cleared area of forest land within a chart area. The boundaries of the chart block are delineated on the Forest Atlas. Contains the boundaries for chart blocks including Administrative Area (C01), Forest Licence Chart (A01) and Timber Sale Licence Major Chart (A03). The Forest Tenures Section (FTS) is responsible for the creation and maintenance of digital Forest Atlas files for the province of British Columbia encompassing Forest and Range Act Tenures. It also supports the forest resources programs delivered by the Ministry of Forests.

Soil Parent Materials

The Soils Parent Materials raster prediction surface was crated using a Random Forest classifier trained with single component polygons from soils, terrain and ecosystem  mapping projects, and 18 topographic predictor layers derived from the provincial 25m DEM. It is a prediction of mode of deposition of the soils parent material. The model was run by Ecoprovince and also enforced topographic constraints on some materials. The results of the Ecoprovince models were compiled into a provincial raster layer. The methodology and results are described in the research paper,   Improved Soil Mapping in British Columbia, Canada with Legacy Soil Data and Random Forest

Bioterrain Mapping (TBT) Detailed Polygons with Short Attribute Table Spatial View

Bioterrain (TBT) contains polygons with key and amalgamated (concatenated) attributes derived from the RISC (Resource Inventory Standards Committee) standard attributes. TBT divides the landscape into units using the Terrain Classification System for British Columbia and ecological criteria. Polygon attributes include (but are not limited to) surficial material, surface expression, geomorphological processes, drainage class and aspect. TBT methods include manual air photo interpretation supported by selective field checking. Bioterrain mapping is integral to ecosystem mapping and its derivative products. This layer is derived from the STE_TEI_ATTRIBUTE_POLYS_SP layer by filtering on the PROJECT_TYPE attribute. Project types include: TEM, TEMNSS, TEMPRE, TEMSEI, TEMSET, TEMTSM, TBS, TBT, TEMWHR, TEMSDM, TEMPRW, and TEMSEW.
