Non Legal Planning Features - All - Polygon

A spatially identified polygon on land and/or water that has been mapped for specific land and/or resource uses as determined through a strategic land and resource planning process. This layer represents non-legalized planning lines only, thus the direction given within the planning designation is policy only and is not legally enforceable.  This layer contains polygon geometries.

Note that all SLRP non-legal polygon shapes (retired and present) are included in this layer. For current (non-retired) SLRP non-legal polygon shapes, please see the layer [Non-Legal Planning Features - Current - Polygon](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/5d859a89-f173-4006-82f9-16254de2c1fc).

Strategic Land and Resource Plans - All

Contains the boundaries of British Columbia Strategic Land and Resource Plans (SLRPs), including past (retired) and present (current) shapes. The plans can be accessed [here](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/crown-land-water/land-use-planning/regions).

Strategic Land and Resource Plans (SLRPs) provide direction for Crown land use through the establishment of broad land use goals, planning zone designations, objectives and strategies.  SLRP planning is an integrated regional consensus-based process, which requires First Nations and public participation to produce a Strategic Land and Resource Plan for review and approval by government.  The plan establishes direction for land and resource use and specifies broad resource management objectives and strategies. Historical plan types include SRMPs, LRMPs, RLUPs and coastal plans. 

To view current SLRP shapes, please see the layer [Strategic Land and Resource Plans - Current](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/4b142d4c-83d6-4ecc-b66c-66601ae65992). RETIREMENT_DATE is the field that stores the retirement date. If RETIREMENT_DATE is empty, the feature is the current shape.

Roll Totals and Historical Assessed Value Changes by Class and Jurisdiction

An assessment is the determination of a property’s market value, classification and applicable exemptions each year.  In early January, property owners receive a BC Assessment Property Assessment Notice showing the property’s value, class and applicable exemptions.  This assessment is the basis used by taxing authorities for determining the share of municipal and provincial property taxes owners will pay.

The Roll Totals data provides information on the number of assessed folios, their aggregated land, improvement and total assessed values and the taxable land, improvement and total values.  The data is further broken down by property class and can be viewed at provincial, assessment area and jurisdiction levels. 

Historical Assessed Value Changes by Class and Jurisdiction show the average change between July 01 of the past and current years for residential, commercial and light industrial property classes for jurisdictions in the province of BC.

BC Species and Ecosystems Previous Years' Conservation Status Rank - Compilation

These tabular data files (available in csv or xlsx) contain the **previous years'** conservation status information for plants and animals and  ecological communities in British Columbia. **Current year** conservation status data are available through the [BC Species and Ecosystems Explorer](http://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/bc-species-and-ecosystems-explorer) on-line tool at http://a100.gov.bc.ca/pub/eswp/. 

The tables contain an appended download of the data exported from BC Species and Ecosystems Explorer (BCSEE) each year. New groups of plants, animals, and ecological communities are added over the years, therefore year over year shows an increase in rows of data.

Note: There is a bug in csv downloads. The workaround is to right-click on Access/Download and "save link as" a csv file.

Metadata for Neighbourhood Income

Jan 2016 to Dec 2022 - metadata for Metadata for Neighbourhood Income. This data set represents the median income by year, for BC residents sourced through Canadian Revenue Agency tax file data. The median income is aggregated to the 6 digit postal code level.  Data covers T1 Tax Filings from 2016-2020, using Total Income
-Income has been rounded to nearest 100
-Postal Code / Tax Year combinations with less than 10 filers have been suppressed
-only BC postal codes have been included (i.e., postal code must start with a "V")

Sites Registry

The Sites Registry is a collection of locations that are important to government carrying out its business, including sharing information with citizens. Most locations have civic addresses and are government offices or facilities, e.g. hospitals, schools, post-secondary institutions, court houses, tourism centres.  Some of the information is licensed under the OGL-BC.  [See this list ](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset?q=%22Sites+Registry%22&sort=score+desc%2C+record_publish_date+desc) for all datasets which have location related details in the Sites Registry.

Metadata for K to12 Socio Economic Status (SES) Index

Jul 2001 to Jun 2026 - The BC Ministry of Education, Socioeconomic Status (SES) Index was developed using Statistics Canada Census data to explore the relationship between neighbourhood census data collected and the education outcomes of students in those neighbourhoods. Student education data was linked to neighbourhood census information by using student 6-digit postal codes. The neighbourhood SES index is developed by using Principal Component Analysis, a standard procedure for index development.   Each student’s SES is comprised of 53 variables classified to one of five domains: economics, education, occupation, family, and community. As shown in Figure 3, a two-stage PCA model was used to summarize these 53 variables into the 5 subdomains. These subdomains are then aggregated into one SES measure for each student , for each census data collection, going from the 2001 to 2016 census. Figure 4 shows the SES distribution for each BC public school district using 2016 census results.   SEE FIGURES TAB FOR ILLUSTRATIONS

Mental Health and Substance Use Health Services

The HealthLink BC Mental Health and Substance Use (MHSU) data set includes the following:  

Programs that offer early intervention, transitional care or other services that supplement and facilitate primary and adjunctive therapies; which offer community mental health education programs; or which link people who are in need of treatment with appropriate providers. 

Programs that provide preventive, diagnostic and treatment services in a variety of community and hospital-based settings to help people achieve, maintain and enhance a state of emotional well-being, personal empowerment and the skills to cope with everyday demands without excessive stress or reliance on alcohol or other drugs. Treatment may include emotional support, introspection and problem-solving assistance using a variety of modalities and approaches, and medication, as needed, for individuals who have a substance use disorder involving alcohol and/or other drugs or for people who range from experiencing difficult life transitions or problems in coping with daily living to those with severe, chronic mental illnesses that seriously impact their lives. 

Multidisciplinary programs, often offered on an inpatient basis with post-discharge outpatient therapy, that provide comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for individuals who have anorexia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, bulimia or a related eating disorder. Treatment depends on the specific type of eating disorder involved but typically involves psychotherapy, nutrition education, family counseling, medication and hospitalization, if required, to stabilize the patient's health.
