Licensed Toxics Planners

Data contains toxics planner's license number, expiration date, name, contact
information and location.

_**Proposed Changes to the Toxic Reduction Program**_

We are proposing changes to the Toxics Reduction Program to remove unnecessary
duplication with the federal Chemicals Management Plan program and reduce
burden for industry. We are proposing to no longer require facilities with
current toxics reduction plans to review them, and exempt certain facilities
from having to report and plan in the future.

We also propose to repeal the Toxics Reduction Act on December 31, 2021, by
which time, all substances regulated by Ontario will be covered by the federal
program. We are confident in the federal government's comprehensive Chemicals
Management Plan.

The proposed changes are posted on the [Environmental
Registry](https://ero.ontario.ca/) for public comment until January 20, 2019.

2014 Aerial Oblique Imagery Shoreline of Lake Simcoe

This oblique aerial imagery covers the main shoreline of Lake Simcoe and four of its islands (Georgina, Thorah, Fox and Snake).  

Taiga Air Services Ltd. acquired the imagery from November 16 to December 2, 2014. To collect the data, they flew a helicopter 160 metres from shore and 100 metres above the water.  

Overlapping oblique images are available in the following formats: 

* TIFF (120 Mb) 
* JPG (3.5 Mb)  
* a photo centre point shapefile, which you can use to link to the images from GIS software 

Imagery is available as one packaged product for the Lake Simcoe shoreline. To order the data, follow our ordering instructions or contact geospatial@ontario.ca. 

Imagery will be used to investigate the potential of using oblique imagery to complement existing ortho imagery. This will: 

* help improve interpretation of shoreline features 
* update shoreline mapping  

The imagery also provides a snapshot in time, capturing the current condition of the Lake Simcoe shoreline. 

The following partners were involved with the project:  

* Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry 
* Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change 
* Environment Canada 
* Severn Sound Environmental Association 
* Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority  
* Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority 
* County of Simcoe

Confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 in Ontario

This dataset compiles daily snapshots of publicly reported data on 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) testing in Ontario.

[Learn how the Government of Ontario is helping to keep Ontarians safe during the 2019 Novel Coronavirus outbreak.](https://covid-19.ontario.ca/)

Data includes:

* approximation of onset date
* age group
* patient gender
* case acquisition information
* patient outcome
* reporting Public Health Unit (PHU)
* postal code, website, longitude, and latitude of PHU

This dataset is subject to change. Please review the [daily epidemiologic summaries](https://covid-19.ontario.ca/covid-19-epidemiologic-summaries-public-health-ontario) for information on variables, methodology, and technical considerations.

##Additional information

**This data is no longer available on this page. Information about COVID-19, and other respiratory viruses, is available through Public Health Ontario’s [“Ontario Respiratory Virus Tool"](https://www.publichealthontario.ca/en/Data-and-Analysis/Infectious-Disease/Respiratory-Virus-Tool).**

On November 30, 2023 the count of COVID-19 deaths was updated to include missing historical deaths from January 15, 2020 to March 31, 2023. This impacts data captured in the column ‘Outcome1’.

Due to changes in data availability, the following variables will be removed from this file, effective Thursday April 13, 2023: ‘Case_AcquisitionInfo’, ‘Outbreak_Related’. Also due to changes in data availability, the variable ‘Outcome1’ will be equal to ‘Fatal’ (deaths due to COVID-19) or blank (all other cases)

The methodology used to count COVID-19 deaths has changed to exclude deaths not caused by COVID. This impacts data captured in the column ‘‘Outcome1’ starting with data posted to the catalogue on March 11, 2022. 

CCM is a dynamic disease reporting system which allows ongoing update to data previously entered. As a result, data extracted from CCM represents a snapshot at the time of extraction and may differ from previous or subsequent results. Public Health Units continually clean up COVID-19 data, correcting for missing or overcounted cases and deaths. These corrections can result in data spikes and current totals being different from previously reported cases and deaths. Observed trends over time should be interpreted with caution for the most recent period due to reporting and/or data entry lags.

The methodology used to count COVID-19 deaths has changed to exclude deaths not caused by COVID.
