Niagara Escarpment Plan land use designations

Depicts the internal boundaries of the Niagara Escarpment Plan area.

The 7 land use designations are:

  * escarpment natural area
  * escarpment protection area
  * escarpment rural area
  * [minor urban centre](/dataset/minor-urban-centres-in-the-niagara-escarpment-plan)
  * urban area
  * escarpment recreation area
  * mineral resource extraction area

The land use designations represent the internal boundaries between
designations within the Niagara Escarpment Plan. These internal boundaries are
not intended to be site-specific and should not be used for accurate
measurements.

The exact delineation of designation boundaries on specific sites will be done
by the implementing body through the application of the designation criteria
as outlined in Part 1 of the Niagara Escarpment Plan, utilizing the most
detailed or up-to-date information available and site inspection.

Natural Areas Abutting Lake Simcoe

Natural areas abutting Lake Simcoe are areas of a continuous vegetation
community class that have a minimum size of 1 ha and are wholly or partially
within the 30 m buffer zone of the Lake Simcoe shoreline. These areas may be a
narrow band of vegetation along the shoreline or larger areas, which extend a
greater distance from the shoreline. As described in policy 6.31-SA, the MNR
and the MOE will map the location of natural areas abutting Lake Simcoe.

Building as Symbol

A building is a structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less
permanently in one place. Symbols are used when buildings and structures are
permanent landmarks.

Symbolized buildings have no side larger than 50 metres for 1:20,000 data or
no side larger than 30 metres for 1:10,000 data.

Small structures (including buildings less than 50 square metres) are not
shown unless they constitute a point of orientation.

Building to Scale

A building is a structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less
permanently in one place.

Small buildings have only their location recorded.

A 'building to scale' is a structure that has one dimension larger than 50
metres for the 1: 20,000 scale and larger than 30 metres for the 1: 10,000
scale. Their extents are recorded.

Ecological land classification

The Ministry of Natural Resources defines ecological units on the
basis of bedrock, climate (temperature, precipitation), physiography (soils,
slope, aspect) and corresponding vegetation.

This enhances their compatibility with national and continental classification
systems. The ecological land classification (ELC) of Ontario is used for descriptive, planning, and resource
management purposes.

The upper levels in its hierarchy may be relevant for provincial and municipal
land-use planning initiatives. The lower (finer-scale) levels of the hierarchy
are most useful for detailed resource management prescriptions and other local
and site planning applications.

This packaged dataset is classified into 3 hierarchical categories:

  * Ecozone: used for national and coarse-scale provincial reporting such as analyses of climate, demographics and watersheds
  * Ecoregion: used for determining the significance or status of wetland classes and certain other natural heritage features (e.g., old growth forest), setting targets for Wilderness Class Provincial parks, State of the Forest reporting and studying natural disturbance regimes
  * Ecodistrict used for assessing biodiversity levels, defining seed zones, mapping ecosystem types and setting targets for the identification of natural heritage systems

  * dam failure
  * drought /low water
  * erosion
  * flood
  * forest fire
  * soil and bedrock instability
  * Petroleum Resource Center event
  * EMO requested assistance
  * continuity of operations event

Forest Abiotic Damage Event

An abiotic damage event is a non-biological event -- such as wind or an ice
storm -- that has damaged areas of forested land.

Abiotic damage event information is mainly used to:

  * generate summary maps for these events at a general or provincial scale
  * monitor the extent of damage for forest fire prevention purposes
  * calculate gross timber volume loss estimates caused by these events

This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

Forest Disease Damage Event

Data show where pathogens - fungal, bacillial or viral - have caused damage by
reducing growth rates, tree vigor or have killed trees.

Examples of forest diseases include White Pine Blister Rust, Armillaria Root
Rot etc.

The Government of Ontario tracks forest damage events to help proactively
manage the detrimental effects to our forests. We monitor the threat and
spread of invasive forest pest insect species in Ontario.

The data is also important to the Forest Management Planning process in
calculating timber volume loss within affected areas.

Forest Insect Damage Event

Shows areas where forest insect pests have damaged or killed trees by
defoliation, foliage mining and wood boring.

Tree mortality rarely occurs as the result of one year's infestation, but from
the result of several consecutive years of infestation and other contributing
factors affecting weakened trees (e.g., fungal invasion).

Ministry of Northern Development and Mines alienations

Alienations cannot be bought, sold or transferred. These are usually requests
generated by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry for lands that
form part of a newly proposed provincial park or conservation area, an area
where a prescribed burn may be conducted, or an area where there is
contentious staking activities.

Incident reports at licensed livestock community sales facilities

The ministry tracks incident reports generated at Ontario livestock community sales facilities of animals ordered euthanized, returned to producer for treatment, or treated at a licensed livestock community sales facility. The dataset includes contact information, descriptions of incidents, and actions taken/outcomes.

[The Livestock Community Sales Act](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90l22) and [Regulation 729](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/900729) allows for the sale of consigned livestock in Ontario. Legislation exists to provide confidence in an orderly market, disease control, monitor the humane handling of livestock and ensure the financial stability of the licensed operator.

Ontario employment demand projections

Employment and Social Development Canada provides the ministry with
preliminary, Ontario-level projections for employment demand (expansion and
replacement) covering a 10-year period from 2017-2026. The projections are
derived from a national forecast, and are intended as a starting point for
further analysis by the ministry to support its assessment of employment
outlooks by occupation. The ministry uses these projections as the basis for
developing its job outlook ratings by occupation on the Ontario Labour Market
website. See [www.ontario.ca/page/labour-market](http://www.ontario.ca/page/labour-market).
