Kokanee Shore Spawner REDDS Data - Okanagan Region

The Okanagan Lake kokanee shore spawner data set is comprised of two combined data sets.  The historical data set for the years 1974, 77, 78, 79 and 80 and a more recent data set collected from 2001 to 2009. The historical data was derived from information collected in the field and hand drawn onto air photographs.  Ministry staff circled Okanagan Lake in a boat one time each year and recorded fish numbers and spawner locations onto air photographs that were digitized in 2006 to make up the historical data set.  This data set may not capture the peak reach count for these years. The data collected from 2001 to 2009 was derived from boat counts undertaken along the shoreline of Okanagan, Wood and Kalamalka Lakes.  A GPS was used to record shore spawner locations and numbers.  Multiple counts were undertaken over the entire spawning cycle and covered the peak spawning period for each year of data provided. The data collected for Christina Lake began in 2003 and ended in 2006.  Christina Lake kokanee spawn at night in late December and early January.  Kokanee spawning redd locations are available for the 2003/2004 count.  Kokanee enumerations were undertaken at night for the 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 seasons and spawning redds were counted at the end of spawning cycle.  For these two years there is both spawning and redd count data available

Municipal government financial statistics

This dataset contains data provided to the provincial government by municipal governments in annual financial reporting forms. While the provincial government does perform checks of the data, we do not guarantee its accuracy or validity. Users should contact municipalities directly if confirmation is required. Beginning in 2008, the schedules have been amended to reflect Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for municipalities, thus some reports may differ from previous years. Dataset published starts at 2009, and contains only data that has been approved, data submitted but not approved is not published.Data is submitted by municipal governments following the close of their fiscal year (December 31). The date for data submission is May 15 of the following year and schedules are usually published in the Fall of that same year. The quality of information contained in the schedules depends on the inputs of municipal governments. Tax Rates: Municipal tax rate bylaws are required to be adopted before May 15th of each year. Tax rates are per $1,000 of assessed value.

Seed Planning Unit Geometry

Seed Planning Unit (SPU) geometry is comprised of Seed Planning Zone geometry delineated by elevation ranges.  Each SEED_PLAN_UNIT_ID relates to a SEED_PLAN_ZONE for a specific tree species and minimum/maximum elevation in meters.  Seed Planning Units only apply to Genetic Class A (orchard/parent tree).  Some coastal species also have a latitude range.  The geometry can be joined to the SEED_PLAN_UNIT table using SEEED_PLAN_UNIT_ID to determine the Seed Planning Zone, tree species and elevation range.

Seed Planning Zone Geometry

Seed Planning Zone (SPZ) geometry is comprised of geographic areas of the province that are characterized by common ecological and genetic attributes for a given forest tree species. SPZ's are used for seedlot registration, seed planning, seed transfer and seedlot selection for reforestation. The geometry can be joined to the SEED_PLAN_ZONE table using SEED_PLAN_ZONE_ID to determine if the SPZ is for Genetic Class B (natural stand) or Genetic Class A (orchard/parent tree) and tree species.

Seed Planning Unit

Seed Planning Unit View is a table that lists valid combinations of Seed Planning Zones (SPZ) and elevation ranges.  Each SEED_PLAN_UNIT_ID relates to a SEED_PLAN_ZONE for a specific tree species and minimum/maximum elevation in meters.  Seed Planning Units only apply to Genetic Class A (orchard/parent tree).  Some coastal species also have a latitude range.  SPUs are designated as Primary (Y or N) for use in the Seed Planning and Registry application.  SPUs may have a Program Rank and Total Seedling Requirements from the Forest Genetics Council of BC business plan.
