Forest Carbon Initiative Projects Portal

The Forest Carbon Initiative Projects Portal is an interactive mapping application that provides easy access to information about forest carbon projects completed across British Columbia. The Forest Carbon Initiative (FCI) was launched in 2017 as a key element of British Columbia’s commitment to take action on climate change. FCI is a long-term provincial-scale program that increases carbon sequestration and avoids emissions in B.C.’s forests through investments, policies, and education and outreach. FCI is jointly funded by the province and the federal government through the Low Carbon Economy Leadership Fund (LCELF).

1:250 000 Raster Base Map - UTM

A Province-wide series of 1:250 000 digital raster maps derived originally from scanned lithographic layers associated with the paper maps published at a scale of 1:250 000 by the Canadian Government in the 1970s and 1980s.  The map is considered a static product and is not updated.  The map data is considered positionally accurate to 125M to 500M.  A 10 metre pixel  size is used for the map detail which is present against a shaded relief; grayscale background created from a TRIM derived 25 metre elevation grid.  Each mapsheet is produced in the UTM projection.  There are four additional files that accompany each mapsheet.  All five files make up the 1:250 000 Raster Base Map - UTM distribution package (zipped file).

Licensed Gaming Revenues Earned by Class A Ticket Raffles

Eligible community organizations may hold licensed gaming events to generate revenue that benefits programs and services they deliver. Class A licensed ticket raffles are those that are expected to generate gross revenue of more than $20,000. Net revenue is determined from revenue reports submitted after the gaming event has finished. Revenue information submitted after the cutoff date for a given fiscal year is not included in this report. Registered raffles: anticipated gross revenue is $250,000 or more. Major raffles: anticipated gross revenue is $100,000 or more, but less than $250,000. Minor raffles: anticipated gross revenue is more than $20,000 and less than $100,000. Gaming event licences are associated with government fiscal years based on their 'end date'.

Roosevelt Elk - Habitat Capability Living in Grow Season Raster Tile - Data - South Coast SBOT

Roosevelt Elk Habitat Capability -  Living in growing season, South Coast Region. Habitat Capability – ability of the habitat, under the optimal natural (seral) conditions to provide elk life requisites, irrespective of the current condition of the habitat. Estimate of the highest potential value of a particular habitat and is useful in providing predictive scenarios for various habitat management options. Capability classification of these areas are based on what the ecosystems would be like if they reverted from their present state back to a non-intensive management state. A 6-class rating scheme was used given the high level of understanding of elk habitat use. Classes 1 -3 are the optimal habitat. Classes 4 -6 are the least optimal habitat

This data-set contains the information obtained from the 2021 market transactions.

Municipalities with one to four transactions will be noted as Not Releasable (nr) as they do not meet the minimum amount of five transactions within the geographic location. If a Regional District has municipalities with fewer than five transactions those numbers for all affected municipalities will also be Not Releasable.

Land Designations that Contribute to Conservation in BC - Spatial Data

**NOTE: Not for operational use. This dataset is the result of an analysis (Aug 2018) of many input layers and as such the accuracy, currency, and completeness of the dataset cannot be relied upon for operational or management decision making.**

Land designations that contribute to conservation are spatially-defined areas established through legislation or purchased for the protection of nature and cultural values, the conservation of biological diversity and ecosystem services and the management of natural resources.

Over 40 land designations were divided into three broad categories: 

- **Protected Lands** includes all Parks & Protected Areas and Other Protected Lands with the primary purpose of the long-term conservation of nature and cultural values.

- **Resource Exclusion Areas** includes all designations that fully exclude one or two resource activities for the purpose of conservation.

- **Spatially Managed Areas** includes all spatial designations managing or limiting development or a resource activity for the purpose of conservation, or a spatial management regime in place to preserve specified elements of biodiversity but where activity is still allowed to occur.

Land designations layers were combined into a single layer, with overlaps removed such that areas with overlapping designations were assigned to the highest conservation contribution category. 

**Data sources:**

A list of the source datasets, including links to their sources, more information, and data processing steps is available [**here**](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bcgov/designatedlands/v0.1.0/sources.csv).

TANTALIS - NTS Sheets

NTS mapsheet grid for BC. Tantalis is an information system designed specifically for the needs of the complex workings of Crown Land Registry and to provide automated support for all aspects of Crown land administration. It was designed to provide a foundation for integrating spatial data associated with mapping of survey plans and administrative boundaries with attribute data associated with legal documents and administrative records. The system records and tracks the sale, survey, license, access, return, and restriction of Crown land in British Columbia. This new system introduced the capacity for further applications, to revolutionize access and processing of Crown land information.

In Cranbrook and Golden data for all canopy layers in the forest cover data bases (layers 1-3, and silviculture and veteran layers) was available. In the case of Cranbrook only the rank1 layer was available. Items _rnk1pct and _rnk1cls are derived from the rank 1 layer in all FDs; items _other_total are the total area in other layers, available for Cranbrook and Golden.
