BC Base Map Service - BC Albers *Deprecated*

**Deprecated as of November 2022.** This resource has not been updated since 2018 and is only to be used for legacy application support. Please use the updated [BC Basemap - vector tile cache](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/bc-basemap). Contact [GeoBC](GeoBCInfo@gov.bc.ca) for more information.

This tile cache map service application programming interface (API) returns georeferenced base map images and provides other associated capabilities as per the [Open Geospatial Consortium Web Mapping Service (WMS) protocol](http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wms). Map images are output in BC Albers projection (EPSG:3005) and match Google map tile scale levels.

See this [web page](http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content?id=95D78D544B244F34B89223EF069DF74E) for more information on B.C. Map Services and how they can be used.

Metadata for Early Development Instrument - E03

Sep 2020 to Jun 2023 - The Early Development Instrument (EDI) is a questionnaire that measure children’s development in kindergarten. Designed by Drs. Dan Offord and Magdalena Janus of McMaster University, the EDI is a checklist that kindergarten teachers complete for each child in their class. It is a holistic measure of children's development across five areas: (1) physical health and well-being; (2) social competence; (3) emotional maturity; (4) language and cognitive development; and (5) communication skills. Teachers complete the EDI in February, after they have had several months of interaction with their Kindergarten class>

If you are a researcher and want to work with us to help make BC programs and services better, apply to use this dataset and don't hesitate to ask questions here: https://dpdd.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/2
