The Ontario Wildlife Damage Compensation Program fair market value valuation table

This dataset provides standardized compensation rates and premiums for the 
[Ontario Wildlife Damage Compensation Program (OWDCP)](http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/livestock/predation.htm). 

When livestock or poultry are injured or killed by specific predatory wildlife, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness provides financial assistance through the OWDCP.  Eligible owners or producers are given a fair market value for damage to livestock or poultry, which is the average value an owner might receive for an animal with specific characteristics such as age and weight. 

 Eligible damage includes:

* injured or killed livestock and poultry  
* damaged bee colonies, beehives or bee-hive related equipment

The dataset contains the following information for each species:

* livestock species covered
* unit of measure used to value the livestock species
* valuation
* premiums for registered livestock
* premiums for pregnancies

Ontario public college programs: postsecondary field of study table

This comprehensive reference table allows you to find postsecondary programs offered by Ontario’s public colleges, which align to Statistics Canada’s Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) (2021). The programs are listed by essential details such as program codes, titles and credential types. 
This table will be helpful if you need to identify a CIP code for a specific field of study offered by an Ontario public college. 
Below are definitions of the three types of the classifications used to describe a field of study:

* __MTCU Code:__ A five-digit number assigned by the ministry to postsecondary programs of instruction approved for funding and OSAP eligibility which categorizes programs that are broadly similar in their vocational learning outcomes (VLOs) and titles.

* __Approved Program Sequence (APS):__ A unique code assigned to each approved program of instruction by the Credential Validation Service and used for enrolment reporting to the ministry.

* __Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP):__ The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) Canada is Statistic's Canada's classification of instructional programs used to classify postsecondary educational programs according to field of study. It is the official, national standard for the organizing, collection, processing, dissemination, and analysis of field of study statistics in its education statistics programs.

Multi-Watershed Nutrient Study

The Multi-Watershed Nutrient Study collected stream water samples from 11 small agricultural watersheds between 2014 and 2020. Samples were collected during flow events like rainfall and snow melt, as well as during baseflow conditions across all four seasons. 

Samples were collected over the rise, peak, and fall of water during these events in the streams, to collect water chemistry information at a higher frequency than typical for stream water sampling. The dataset includes stream sensor data and flow data from stream monitoring stations, meteorological data from nearby weather stations, and water quality data collected through sampling.

 See Supplemental Information for station numbers and relevant information.

Sample water quality parameters included total phosphorus, total filtered phosphorus, metals, total nitrogen, phosphate, dissolved nitrogen, turbidity, suspended solids, dissolved carbons, and sulphate. 

Data users are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to review the associated Summary document prior to using this dataset.
Six of the watersheds in the Multi-Watershed Nutrient Study were also sampled during the Pollution from Land Use Activities Reference Group (PLUARG) study conducted in the 1970s.  More information on PLUARG can be found by visiting https://atrium.lib.uoguelph.ca/ and searching for PLUARG.

__How Are We Protecting Privacy?__

Results for OnSIS and Statistics Canada variables are suppressed based on school population size to better protect student privacy. In order to achieve this additional level of protection, the Ministry has used a methodology that randomly rounds a percentage either up or down depending on school enrolment. In order to protect privacy, the ministry does not publicly report on data when there are fewer than 10 individuals represented. 
<ol>
* Percentages depicted as 0 may not always be 0 values as in certain situations the values have been randomly rounded down or there are no reported results at a school for the respective indicator.
*  Percentages depicted as 100 are not always 100, in certain situations the values have been randomly rounded up.
</ol>
The school enrolment totals have been rounded to the nearest 5 in order to better protect and maintain student privacy.

The information in the School Information Finder is the most current available to the Ministry of Education at this time, as reported by schools, school boards, EQAO and Statistics Canada. The information is updated as frequently as possible.

This information is also available on the Ministry of Education's [School Information Finder](https://www.ontario.ca/page/find-your-school) website by individual school.

Descriptions for some of the data types can be found in our
[glossary](http://www.app.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/sift/glossary.asp).

School/school board and school authority contact information are updated and maintained by school boards and may not be the most current version. For the most recent information please visit: https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/ontario-public-school-contact-information.
