Historical Fire Management Zone

This dataset shows the boundaries of the province's six fire management zones that existed prior to 2014 in which most forest fires received the same type of response. These management zones were based on:

* common forest and forest fire management objectives
* land use
* density of values at risk
* fire load
* forest ecology
 
The 2014 Wildland Fire Management Strategy moved from a zone-based approach to one where each wildland fire is assessed and receives an appropriate response according to the circumstances and condition of the fire.

Great Lakes Shoreline Ecosystem inventory

This dataset contains the Great Lakes Shoreline Ecosystem (GLSE) inventory, which is a geospatial digital inventory of:

* ecosite polygon mapping
* field survey calibration points
* associated ground level ecological data 

It replaces Great Lakes Shoreline Ecosystem mapping products versions 1.0 and 2.0. It is an update to those products and includes the data and information contained in them but now includes data and information for the entire Canadian side of the Great Lakes shoreline including connecting channels, from the land to water or wetland interface to two kilometers inland. 
Mapping and ground sampling adheres to the Great Lakes Shoreline Ecosystem classification system, (Lee et. al., in prep.) which is a detailed ecological classification and surveying method.

Forest resource processing facilities

This data is used for referencing spatial and tabular Forest Resource
Processing Facility information.

Each facility has one or more processing sites, each dedicated to processing
resources for a specific purpose. For example, a pulp, paper and paperboard
facility has one processing site to produce pulp, and another one dedicated to
producing paper.

All facilities that use 1,000 cubic metres or more of forest resources in one
year must have a facility licence.

This data class has been remodeled in 2014 to make it more flexible as a
stand-alone product.

Forest Resource Inventory Term 2 (T2) 2018-2028

The Forest Resources Inventory (FRI) provides information about tree species, including:

* composition
* height
* age
* density

Ontario’s forest resource inventories allow us to support resource management and land use decisions, and help sustain healthy, natural environments.

Forest resource inventories for each forest management unit are legally required under the [Crown Forest Sustainability Act (1994)](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/94c25). Every 10 years, the ministry creates a new forest management plan where inventory data is updated and must be compliant with the requirements detailed in the Act.

Ontario’s FRI is also used to meet provincial, federal, and international reporting requirements.

These draft FRI Packaged Product data sets are being provided for the purpose of consultation and product development.  The number of attributes and the algorithms used to generate the attribute as well as the data formats will change over time and should not be considered the final version. A final version of the structure and content of the FRI will be made available after the required consultations are complete.

Data sets will be made available for each Forest Management Unit as they are produced.

For more information on the FRI please see: [https://www.ontario.ca/page/forest-resources-inventory](https://www.ontario.ca/page/forest-resources-inventory)

Occupational Health and Safety worker fatality and critical injury counts report

The numbers reflect incidents that were reported to and tracked by the
Ministry of Labour. They exclude death from natural causes, death of non-
workers at a workplace, suicides, death as a result of a criminal act or
traffic accident (unless the OHSA is also implicated) and death from
occupational exposures that occurred in the past.

Data from the Ministry of Labour reflects Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
and Employment Standards (ES) information at a point in time and/or for
specific reporting purposes. As a result, the information above may not align
with other data sources.

**Notes on critical injuries** :

For the purposes of the data provided, a critical injury of a serious nature
includes injuries that:

  1. "Place life in jeopardy"
  2. "Produce unconsciousness"
  3. "Result in substantial loss of blood"
  4. "Involve the fracture of a leg or arm but not a finger or toe"
  5. "Involve the amputation of a leg, arm, hand or foot but not a finger or toe"
  6. "Consist of burns to a major portion of the body"
  7. "Cause the loss of sight

Only critical injury events reported to the ministry are included here. This
represents data that was reported to the ministry and may not represent what
actually occurred at the workplace. The critical injury numbers represent
critical injuries reported to the ministry and not necessarily critical
injuries as defined by the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). Non-
workers who are critically injured may also be included in the ministry's
data. Critical injuries data is presented by calendar year to be consistent
with Workplace Safety and Insurance Board harmonized data;

Data is reported based on calendar year

Individual data for the Health Care program is available for Jan. 1 to Mar.
31, 2011 only. From April 2011 onwards Health Care data is included in the
Industrial Health and Safety numbers.

**Notes on Fatalities** :

Only events reported to the ministry are included here. The ministry tracks
and reports fatalities at workplaces covered by the OHSA. This excludes death
from natural causes, death of non-workers at a workplace, suicides, death as a
result of a criminal act or traffic accident (unless the OHSA is also
implicated) and death from occupational exposures that occurred many years
ago. Fatalities data is presented by calendar year to be consistent with
Workplace Safety and Insurance Board harmonized data. Fatality data is
reported by year of event.

  *[OHSA]: Occupational Health and Safety Act
  *[Mar.]: March
  *[Jan.]: January

As of 2024, annual fatality data (including previous years) is reported by year of death.

Digital Soil Mapping

## Purpose
The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness (OMAFA) is responsible for Ontario’s provincial soil maps and maintains and update them as necessary. Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) is a modern methodology using spatially explicit soils and environmental data to predict soil variation throughout a landscape at a high, consistent resolution. Digital soil maps are being rolled out throughout Ontario’s agricultural land base to update provincial soil maps.
## Reach
Provincial soil maps are used in many decision-making processes including:

* land use planning
* land evaluation
* farming practices
* best management practices
* ecological monitoring
* land resource mapping 

Potential users of this data include:

* farmers
* certified crop advisors
* conservation authorities
* academic researchers
* land use planners
## Potential impacts
Digital soil maps provide more accurate and precise soils data and enables improved management of soil resources across multiple stakeholders. This allows for better decision making to maximize land use efficiency, improve economic efficiency of soil resources and promote soil health and soil conservation.
## Technical description
Digital soil mapping combines geo-referenced soil observations with geo-referenced environmental layers to mathematically model soil variation as a function of environment variation. These models are based on well established, but often complex relationships, between soil properties and topography, biology, geology and hydrology.
