College enrolments - 1996 to 2011

Data from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities' College NoName
Program Enrolment Reporting system.

Provides aggregated key enrolment data for college students, like enrolment
headcounts by program type, institution and campus.

Historical data ranges from 1996 to 2011-12, and is based on fall enrolment
counts. To protect privacy, numbers are suppressed in categories with less
than 10 students.

In 2012 a new data collection system was introduced, which collects data at
the student level and includes many additional data elements which were not
collected in the historical file (e.g., data was not collected on
international students prior to 2013). For this reason it is not possible to
report historical data in the same format as the 2012-13 and beyond data.

* how the government can ensure AI is used responsibly to minimize misuse and maximize benefits for Ontarians
* ideas to improve the public’s trust in AI
* experiences, concerns, and insights that will help the government shape it’s approach to using AI 

The survey asked respondents to rank and comment on action items related to three draft commitments: 

* No AI in secret 
* AI use Ontarians can trust
* AI for all Ontarians 

The survey data includes ranking of action items for each commitment.

Ontario Tree Seed Transfer Policy data

_This highly specialized publication [(Ontario Tree Seed Transfer Policy data)](https://www.ontario.ca/page/ontario-tree-seed-transfer-policy) is available in English only in accordance with Regulation 671/92, which exempts it from translation under the French Language Services Act. To obtain information in French, please contact the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry at (1-800-667-1940)._

The [Ontario Tree Seed Transfer Policy](https://www.ontario.ca/page/ontario-tree-seed-transfer-policy?share=8d041da0-f8f3-11ea-8b1a-e3b1c683b5f9) ensures that seed used to regenerate forests has a good chance of producing trees that are adapted to their growing environment. It specifies where seed can be collected and used and the conditions under which seed may be transferred.

The data is provided as part of Appendix 1 of the Ontario Tree Seed Transfer Policy.  It is available in both table and map formats  , and also includes CSV and shape files.

__Tabular display__

This dataset includes three tables that show the spatial direction of the seed transfer policy based on the climate similarity analysis (refer to Appendix 1 of the policy for information on the climate similarity analysis):

* Table 1. For transitional period: Acceptable seed transfer from the 2010 Seed Zones of Ontario to current seed zones
* Table 2. Acceptable seed transfer from the 2010 Seed Zones of Ontario to ecodistricts
* Table 3. Acceptable seed transfer among ecodistricts 
 
Within the tables, you can click and sort by your location of interest to understand the best seed sources to collect from or deploy to. You can sort by either seed zone or ecodistrict.

The policy recommends a climate similarity of 0.9 or greater to the targeted collection or deployment site. 

__Visual display__

The climate similarity analysis used in developing this policy is also available as an interactive map. 

Maps are available to help you make seed collection and deployment decisions, including:

* collecting seed by ecodistrict or county
* deploying seed by ecodistrict
* deploying seed by seed zone  

You can also view: 

* [a detailed map of management unit by seed zone or by ecodistrict](https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/larlo/viz/SeedSourceOntario/Intro)
* [maps to help you make seed transfer decisions related to growing season, precipitation and temperature](https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/larlo/viz/SeedSourceOntario/Intro)
