Non-violent crime severity

**This data set is no longer compiled by the Ministry of the Solicitor General.**

Data from the Police Reported Crime Severity Index. Measures changes in the
level of severity of crime in Canada from year to year.

In the index, all crimes are assigned a weight based on their seriousness,
based on actual sentences handed down in all provinces and territories.
Serious crimes are assigned high weights while less serious offences have
lower weights. As a result, serious offences have a greater impact on changes
in the index.

The non-violent crime severity index includes traffic violations, drug
violations and all Federal Statutes.

Data is compared to the 2006 baseline.

The data can be accessed from [Statistics
Canada](https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/type/data?text=non-violent+crimes).

Municipal restructuring activity summary table

Municipal restructuring refers to activities that may be responses to changing
municipal responsibilities and issues related to growth. Principal forms of
municipal restructuring are annexations and amalgamations. Annexations alter
municipal boundaries by, for example, moving jurisdiction for land from one
municipality to another. Amalgamations are mergers of neighbouring
municipalities. The Municipal Act, 2001 sets out a process that municipalities
may use to develop local proposals for municipal restructuring.

Benthic Invertebrate Community (Great Lakes Nearshore Areas)

This dataset contains information on benthic invertebrate community structure of samples collected from nearshore index monitoring stations within a Great Lake basin each year.

The composition of benthic invertebrates (such as insects, worms, mussels, snails and crayfish) found in a sample is used as a biological indicator of trophic status and general environmental conditions to help understand ecosystem function, structure and change. Surveys are typically conducted in one of the Great Lakes basins each year. In most cases, five replicate samples (600 μm mesh, 9-inch ponar) were collected at each station.

This dataset links with Sediment chemistry (Great Lakes nearshore areas) and Water chemistry (Great Lakes nearshore areas) datasets.
