Ontario Vector Topographic Data Cache

The Ontario Vector Topographic Data Cache is a collection of topographic data, that has been preprocessed for fast, seamless display at predefined scales.

The topographic data includes constructed and natural features that make up Ontario’s landscape.

The cache provides limited data from areas outside Ontario’s boundaries, such as the United States and adjacent provinces and territories.

__Technical information__

Two versions of the Topographic Data Cache are available:

1. The traditional raster version is available for a variety of GIS applications and is updated annually.

2. The vector version is suitable for online web map applications as well as modern GIS software and is updated twice a year.

Contributing data layers may have different maintenance and update cycles. 

Some cache layers have been processed in a way that makes it easier for them to be displayed in a mapping product. Other layers are unchanged from the authoritative data.

The cartographic symbology used in the data cache is intentionally muted to allow users to showcase their data.

The Ontario Vector Topographic Data Cache is created from many source datasets, which are described in the Ontario Vector Topographic Data Cache user guide. If you are interested in getting this authoritative data, you can download it from the [Ontario GeoHub](http://www.ontario.ca/geohub).

For instructions on getting a copy of either version of the cache for use in mapping applications, visit the [Ontario GeoHub](http://www.ontario.ca/geohub).

Personal income tax rates and credits

Personal income tax is collected annually from Ontario residents and those who
earned income in the province.

The tax is calculated separately from federal income tax. There are 5 Ontario
income tax brackets and 5 corresponding tax rates.

For an explanation of these rates and credits, refer to the federal and provincial personal income tax return for the applicable year. To get a copy of the return (also known as a T1) contact the Canada Revenue Agency at 1-800-959-8281 or visit [canada.ca/cra-forms](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications.html?utm_campaign=not-applicable&utm_medium=vanity-url&utm_source=canada-ca_cra-forms).

Environmental Compliance Reports

Every year, the Ministry of the Environment Conservation and Parks publicly releases the Environmental Compliance Report on the Ontario Data Catalogue.
 

In Ontario, all facilities with regulated wastewater discharges or air emissions under the [Ontario Water Resources Act and the Environmental Protection Act](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90o40) must monitor and report any cases where approved operating limits have been exceeded. That information is compiled annually into the Environmental Compliance Report.

Currently the latest three years are available directly below in Excel and can be viewed in CSV. Earlier years have been zipped up for ease of viewing and download.


__What is the report__

The report demonstrates how we are meeting our Made-in-Ontario Environment Plan commitment to hold polluters accountable for their actions. It includes information about steps taken by facilities to achieve compliance with environmental laws and information about ministry-led enforcement actions, including penalties and prosecutions.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) use cases in the Ontario Public Service

The Government of Ontario is committed to the safe and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve programs and services across government, as outlined in [Ontario’s Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) Framework.](https://www.ontario.ca/page/ontarios-trustworthy-artificial-intelligence-ai-framework)

Under this framework, the [Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence Directive](https://www.ontario.ca/page/responsible-use-artificial-intelligence-directive) sets out the requirements for the transparent, responsible and accountable use of AI. One of these requirements is to publish a list of AI use cases. This dataset includes AI use cases implemented within the Ontario Public Service (OPS). 

The dataset will be updated periodically as additional use cases become available for publishing. The information provided on the AI use cases includes the following:

* AI use case name
* Ministry
* Use case description
* Launch date
* AI capabilities
* Autonomous
* Human in the loop
* User base
* What data is used?

Artificial intelligence has been around for many decades, and its definition has evolved over time. Capabilities which were considered AI in the past may not be considered AI today. The dataset excludes:

* **Non-OPS AI use cases:** AI use cases implemented in Agencies, Boards, and Commissions (ABCs) and the Broader Public Sector (BPS).
* **Sensitive AI use cases/FIPPA exemptions:** Use cases where the disclosure would reveal information that should not be disclosed for legal, security, law enforcement, confidentiality, privacy or commercial sensitivity reasons, as identified and documented by expert assessors (e.g., legal counsel, cyber security) and in alignment with existing exemptions in the [Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90f31) (FIPPA). 
* **Emergency use:** AI systems deployed during emergencies (e.g., as defined in the [Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90e09)). These AI use case should be posted after the emergency has ended.
* **Legal restrictions:** Use cases that cannot be disclosed by law.
* **AI systems which are not adaptive or autonomous:** Systems that follow set rules without learning or making complex decisions, resulting in predictable outcomes.
* **Planning/design stages:** AI systems that have not yet been deployed into production.

In-year Fire Perimeters

Fire perimeters for this year's forest fires in Ontario. 

Fire perimeters are illustrations only and may not be exact in relation to actual physical locations. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources does not capture perimeters for every fire.  Fire perimeters are not captured in real time; each capture depends on available resources and weather conditions and may be several days old. During fire season, perimeter data is updated every 24 hours as improved information becomes available; therefore, reported fire size may fluctuate from day to day.  The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources shall not be liable in any way for the use of, or reliance upon this information.

The [Forest Fire Info Map](https://www.lioapplications.lrc.gov.on.ca/ForestFireInformationMap/index.html?viewer=FFIM.FFIM&locale=en-CA) shows active fires, current fire danger and restricted fire zones in place due to high fire danger.

Energy use and greenhouse gas emissions for the Broader Public Sector

The Broader Public Sector (BPS) plays an important role in helping Ontario
meet its conservation targets and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Under [O. Reg. 25/23](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/r23025) (Broader Public Sector: Energy Reporting and Conservation and Demand Management Plans), made under the Electricity Act, 1998, BPS organizations are required to:

  1. Report annually to the Ministry of Energy and Electrification, on their energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and publish the reports on their websites (as of July 1, 2013);
  2. Develop a five-year conservation and demand management plan and publish the plan on their websites. Plans must be updated every five years (as of July 1, 2014).

This data includes the annual amount of energy used and GHG emitted by BPS organizations. 

BPS organizations that are required to report include municipalities, municipal service boards, school boards, universities, colleges and hospitals. Several BPS organizations also voluntarily reported on facilities that are not required by regulation.

Posted data files contain the following information:

* raw energy consumption and GHG emission data
* data that has been normalized to account for weather conditions and GHG emissions
* the names of those BPS organizations that did not report their 2013-2017 energy* consumption data.

Missing or incorrect data is the sole responsibility of the BPS organization.
The ministry has attempted to remove duplicate data from this data set to
improve data integrity.

The Ministry of Energy and Electrification developed [O. Reg.
25/23](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/r23025) to help BPS organisations better understand how and where they use energy and demonstrate government leadership by
developing conservation plans to guide energy savings.

_*The Ministry of Energy and Electrification is aware that COVID-19 may have restricted some BPS organizations’ ability to submit their annual energy reports using the 2018 and 2019 data._
