Property File Index

Property File is a collection of over 90,000 documents associated with mineral occurrences, donated by industry or individuals, or collected by British Columbia Geological Survey (BCGS) staff.  These documents extend back over 150 years and include unpublished reports, theses, papers, field notes, company prospectuses, correspondence, hand-drawn maps, geology, geochemistry, geophysics, drilling data, claim maps, mine plans and photographs.  The public can search the document index, link through MINFILE and view the PDF files through the Property Files Search application.  Property File records are linked to MINFILE records or NTS mapsheets.  The spatial locations are available in a table, which is also displayed on MapPlace and linked to the reports. Over 73,900 documents have been indexed, scanned and made available to the public.

BC METAL - Historical Metal Production 1888-1988

BC Metal is the historical metal production database for the Province of British Columbia. It contains mine attribute (BCMETAL_ID) and metal production (BCMETAL_PROD) tables for 1452 metal mines operating within the province between 1888 and 1988. Reports in PDF format are available with sorts by Mine ID, with production by year, Mine Name, and MINFILE Number. A report, sorted by Mine ID, displays production totals for each mine with ore mined and milled and the resulting commodities of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum, tungsten, nickel, tin, mercury and iron.

Production after 1988 can be found in the production data within the MINFILE database.

Prospectors Reports

Under the Prospectors Assistance Program (now discontinued) grants were provided to encourage grassroots prospecting in British Columbia. The Prospectors Assistance program contributed up to 75 per cent of the eligible costs of a proposed prospecting program to a maximum of $10,000. Reports were submitted from 1994 through to 2001. These documents have been amalgamated into Property File and have been linked to up to three MINFILE occurrences when possible.

Canadian Rental Housing Index

The Canadian Rental Housing Index (http://rentalhousingindex.ca/) is a comprehensive database of rental housing statistics, providing information for renter households in over 800 municipalities and regional districts across B.C. and the rest of Canada. All of the information contained in the Index is derived from a Statistics Canada custom tabulation based on the 2016 and 2021 long-form census. 

The Index includes various data for renter households, such as:

* Average and median incomes
* Average rents
* Renter households spending 30% and 50% or more of their income on shelter
* Income quartiles
* Bedroom sizes
* Suitability (overcrowding)
* Demographic information for Indigenous renters, families, seniors and youth, and immigrants

BC Timber Sales BC-Bid Map Templates Story Map

Based on the recommendation from BC Timber Sales GIS and the Sales and Tenures Working Group, The Timber Sale Leadership Team (TSLT) has approved a Decision Note on January 21, 2022, supporting the concept of standardizing BC Timber Sales public facing TSL package map templates in Land Resource Manager. TSLT has empowered Woodlands Managers and Provincial Operations (PO) GIS to work together to develop and implement this change by the end of 2023 FY.

 

To implement this change, a Steering Committee (SC) and GIS Task Team were formed to design, develop, and implement this change. Both teams have well geographical and functional representatives providing valuable input into the final products.  There are difference in symbology and mapping elements used across the province.  In an effort to create a provincial standard for these templates, this story map was created to survey the staff.

BC Wildfire PSTA Fire Threat Rating

Provincial Strategic Threat Analysis (PSTA) is designed to consistently assess and map potential wildfire threats to values across the landscape (including communities, infrastructure and natural resources) and to integrate different aspects of wildfire hazard and risk.

This polygon dataset was derived from the PSTA threat rating raster by using the Raster to Polygon conversion tool in ArcGIS 10.3. The following describes how the raster feature class was created. The three described data layers (fire density, head fire intensity and spotting impact) were combined using a weighted sum process. Weights were assigned as 30% fire density, 60% head fire intensity (90th percentile) and 10% spotting impact. These weighted values were added together to produce a final fire threat analysis value ranging theoretically between zero to 100. Although the classification scheme theoretically ranged from zero to 100, the highest value in the data was 81. The classes were then scaled to balance out the distribution of values while still maintaining meaningful thresholds of fire density, head fire intensity, and spotting at higher levels. Areas with a final value of zero consisted of areas that had no record of wildfire, were typed as non-fuel (such as alpine rock, glaciers and ocean areas), and were too distant to be at risk of spotting from nearby fuels. Other very low values could occur due to zero values in one or two of the three categories, such as areas of flammable fuels with no record of a large fire burning nearby (i.e. fire density equals zero) or non-fuel areas that are only at a slight risk of spotting. Water bodies were overlaid on the raster and assigned to their own class, -1, which is effectively zero. A private managed forest land and private land mask was applied to the data due to fuel typing limitations in these areas. Each of these were given their own class. private managed forest land is class -2 and private land is class -3. The weighting system integrated the three identified components of fire threat: fire occurrence (fire density); suppression effort and fire impacts (head fire intensity); and spotting. The results of the final Wildfire Threat Analysis were then assigned to 10 classes to produce a detailed map of fire threats throughout British Columbia. These 10 classes represent a subjective best estimate of relative fire threats, taking into account fire occurrence history, predicted fire intensity under extreme conditions, and spotting impact.
