North Cowichan Water Features

The water features dataset contains a modified version of the provincial Fresh Water Atlas of the coastline, lake and ponds, major rivers, streams, wetlands, and watersheds. Features might be spatially altered from the provincial source to show known changes.

This data may only be used under the terms of the [Open Government Licence - Municipality of North Cowichan](http://www.northcowichan.ca/ogl).  You are encouraged to contact the data custodian if you have any questions regarding fitness for use.

Additional datasets, including this one, are also available via the [North Cowichan Open Data Package](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/eee9e339-97ac-4550-ba96-0dc8fd5117b9).

Data is refreshed daily Monday to Friday.

Ice Masses - TRIM Enhanced Base Map (EBM)

A general description for ice caps, glaciers, icefields or other extensive and irregular areas of permanent snow and ice. TRIM-EBM is a 2D product containing TRIM 1 features excluding toponomy, contours and DEM for which area based features have been closed to form polygons, symbol points have been replaced with polygons and vertical integration of streams has been removed. Aerial imagery for TRIM 1 was flown in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Please refer to the [Glaciers](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/glaciers) dataset for recent glacier extents in British Columbia, and [Historical Glaciers](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/historical-glaciers) for a comparable historic view.

Atlas of Canada National Scale Data 1:1,000,000 - Place Names

DEPRECATED: Atlas of Canada National Scale Frameworks data are standardized national 
 	coverages of commonly used geospatial datasets at the 1:1,000,000 scale. A variety of framework layers (e.g. hydrology, roads, ferry routes, railways, administrative boundaries, census subdivisions, population ecumene, drainage areas, protected areas and Canadian place names) have been integrated so that their relative positions are correct. Hydrology (which includes coastline) is the base layer to which all others are fitted.

The Atlas of Canada 1,000,000 National Frameworks Data, Canadian Place Names consists of point geospatial and attribute data for a selection of named populated places and other places considered relevant to represent Canadian place names. This data is suitable for use at scales between 1:500,000 and 1:2,000,000.  The points have been fitted to other National Scale Frameworks layers. Therefore, points represent the approximate locations of places relative to these other layers. The main source for these names was the Canadian Geographical Names Data Base (CGNDB) maintained by the Geographical Names Section of the Centre for Topographic Information. The selection of names was based on population size, historical significance and noteworthiness. Cartographic considerations were also taken into account.

This dataset has been replaced with [WHSE_BASEMAPPING.NRC_POPULATED_PLACES_1M_SP](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/fa406f9b-3700-4aa7-b449-3f1f27f501f6)

Census Tracts (All Years)

The Census Tract Boundary Files portray the census tract boundaries for which Census data are disseminated. Census tracts are small, relatively stable geographic areas that usually have a population of 2,500 to 8,000. They are located in census metropolitan areas and in census agglomerations with an urban core population of 50,000 or more in the previous census. The files contain the boundaries of all 5,076 census tracts located within the 33 census metropolitan areas and 15 census agglomerations which are part of the Census Tract Program.

Province of British Columbia - Boundary Terrestrial

This dataset consists of polyline, single part, and multi part polygons representing the Province of British Columbia.

The terrestrial portion of the boundary was derived from the Administrative Boundaries Management System (ABMS) representation of the province:  [Province of British Columbia - Legally Defined Administrative Areas of BC](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/a7e32e45-63ae-4f5a-9275-9402b6deebdc).

The coastal portion of the boundary differs from the ABMS boundary and was derived from the Freshwater Atlas (FWA): [Freshwater Atlas Coastlines](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/87b1d6a7-d4d1-4c25-a879-233becdbffed).

This boundary may be updated periodically, as more accurate data becomes available.

Due to the structure of the data, it does not meet the technical requirements to be published in the BC Geographic Warehouse (BCGW). It is available for download as an OGC GeoPackage and as an ESRI File Geodatabase in the **Data and Resources** box to the the right.

There are [Automated Snow Weather Stations (ASWS)](http://bcrfc.env.gov.bc.ca/about/snow-pillow.htm) monitoring sites around the province, mostly in remote and high elevation locations. Station location data are available [here](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/ebe546aa-ac34-491c-a828-fdc87fb70610). Data is collected hourly and transmitted through the GOES satellites. Remotely sensed snow and meteorological data (snow water equivalent in mm, snow depth in cm, air temperature in degrees Celcius, cumulative precipitation in mm) from ASWS stations are available in near real-time. The current year ASWS data are updated hourly, combining the data for the current water year (October 1st to September 30th) for all active ASWS stations in the province.

Data can be directly accessed via the [Real-Time Water tool](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content?id=39A675506AE54C4CB240849338B7C8D8) and the [Snow Stations Interactive Map](https://governmentofbc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=c15768bf73494f5da04b1aac6793bd2e).
