Stream Benthic Invertebrates - Prince Edward Island

Stream benthic invertebrates are important indicators of aquatic health and have been monitored in PEI National Park to assess community diversity as well as abundance of pollution tolerant and intolerant taxa in streams. Benthic invertebrates are collected on an annual basis using the sampling methods developed by Environment Canada for the "CABIN" stream monitoring network. Samples are sorted and invertebrates are classified to the lowest possible taxomonic classification to determine abundance and biodiversity in these aquatic ecosystems. Community biodiversity is assessed using the Simpson’s reciprocal index (D). The Hilsenhoff Biotic Index (HBI) is also used to assess benthic invertebrate species tolerance levels to organic pollution. Thresholds for community biodiversity metrics were created from existing research on stream benthic community abundance and richness in PEI’s low order streams.

Wild Fish Communities, Oil Sands Region

Wild fish community data (species, abundance, diversity, length, weight) are available for tributaries of the Athabasca River (Steepbank, Ells, Firebag, High Hills, Dunkirk, Horse, Muskeg, Tar, Calumet, Dover, McKay, Alice, Red Clay, Eymundson, Big Creek, Pierre, Hangingstone, Beaver, and Poplar) and for rivers and creeks adjacent to Christina Lake (Christina River, Sunday Creek, Birch Creek, Sawbones Creek, Jackfish River and Unnamed Creek).

The composition and diversity of fish communities in these waterbodies have been evaluated over time to identify changes in the presence and abundance of fish species in areas varying in proximity to industry activity (open-pit mining and steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD)), including sites located outside of the Athabasca Oil Sands deposit that are not influenced by industry. Sites located outside of the development footprint or deposit provide information on the natural variability of these fish communities over time. Baseline conditions were established through autumn surveys (non-lethal) of fish communities in 2013, 2017-2019, and 2021-present, which have assisted in tracking spatial and temporal changes in fish communities in the region. Length, weight, species identification, and external assessment were performed on each fish collected before being returned to the water at the site of capture. This monitoring activity compliments and supports the Wild Fish Health program.

Supporting programs: Chemicals Management Plan (CMP)

The Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) is a Government of Canada initiative aimed at reducing the risks posed by chemicals to Canadians and their environment. A key element of the Chemicals Management Plan is the monitoring and surveillance of levels of harmful chemicals in Canadians and their environment. Monitoring and surveillance are essential to identify and track exposure to hazards in the environment and associated health implications. Monitoring and surveillance programs provide the basis for making sound and effective public health and environmental health policies and interventions, as well as measuring the efficacy of control measures.

In support of the Chemicals Management Plan, monitoring and surveillance initiatives were established to support Health Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada scientists, in collaboration with external partners and researchers, to advance our knowledge. This initiative has allowed the Government of Canada to increase its commitment to a number of existing monitoring initiatives, as well as to support new efforts.

Federal Electoral Districts - Canada 2023

The Federal Electoral Districts (FED) dataset is a digital representation of the 343 electoral districts proclaimed by the 2023 Representation Orders.  
  
  Canada is divided into 343 federal electoral districts. A representative or member of Parliament is elected for each electoral district. Following the release of population counts from each decennial census, the Chief Electoral Officer determines the number of seats in the House of Commons and publishes the information in the Canada Gazette. Electoral boundaries commissions then determine the adjustments to the constituency boundaries. The federal electoral boundaries commissions are independent bodies that make all decisions regarding the proposed and final federal electoral boundaries. Elections Canada provides support services to the boundaries commission in each province. Based on reports from these commissions, the Chief Electoral Officer prepares a representation order that describes the boundaries and specifies the name and the population of each FED. The 2023 Representation Order (proclaimed on September 22, 2023) was based on 2021 Census population counts, and increased the number of FEDs to 343, up from 338 from the previous 2013 Representation Order. Alberta received three additional seats while Ontario and British Columbia each gained one seat. The representation order is in force on the first dissolution of Parliament that occurs at least seven months after its proclamation (on or after April 23, 2024). The names of FEDs may change at any time through an Act of Parliament.

Alida Structure

These structure, isopach and zero edge files are part of a series of stratigraphic framework maps for the Saskatchewan Phanerozoic Fluids and Petroleum Systems (SPFPS) project.  
  
  The series of stratigraphic framework maps for the Saskatchewan Phanerozoic Fluids and Petroleum Systems (SPFPS) project have been produced using 2 km equi-spaced modified grids generated from Golden Software’s Surfer 9 kriging algorithm. The dataset used to produce each of the maps in this series was created using data from several projects completed by the Ministry (Christopher, 2003; Saskatchewan Industry and Resources et al., 2004; Kreis et al., 2004; Marsh and Heinemann, 2006; Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources et al., 2007; Heinemann and Marsh, 2009); these data were validated and edited as required to facilitate correlations between the various regional projects. In addition, to minimize edge effects during contouring, the senior author also generated stratigraphic data from wells in adjacent jurisdictions.

Historical aerial photography of Indian Residential Schools

To support a wide range of efforts to understand the geographic context and historical conditions of the Indian residential schools sites for a wide range of stakeholders, Indigenous Services Canada has created a Web service to access and visualize historical aerial photography for those sites. The Historical aerial photography of Indian residential schools dataset contains digital scans of aerial photographs that were acquired from 1924 to 1998 over Indian Residential school sites and surrounding areas across Canada, as well as basic information about each photography and depicted site. The digital images were georeferenced, to match ground coordinates, saved in a resampled uncompressed raster format and compiled in a single mosaic layer. The dataset does not include the complete range of aerial photographs of each site. Instead, an attempt has been made to select a single optimal photograph for each site based on good photographic quality and the site's years of operation. In some cases no photograph is available, and in others a photograph was only available after the years of operation. The source scanned prints was obtained from the archives of the National Air Photo Library (NAPL) of Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN).   
  
  This dataset should be considered evergreen as new information and photography sources are identified.  
  
  It should be noted that this dataset can only be downloaded using ArcGIS and ArcPro software as well as other GIS software.

CWD/Bovine TB Drop-Off Sites and Carcass Disposal Locations

To help wildlife managers obtain information about CWD prevalence in the province, hunters are asked to drop off heads from deer, elk, moose, and caribou for CWD testing at the following locations (see map below). PLEASE NOTE: Each self-serve drop-off site contains a kiosk and a chest freezer. Freezer space at high-traffic drop-off locations may be limited early in the hunting season when temperatures are not consistently below -10C and therefore do not allow for heads to be submitted within the kiosk. Prior to dropping off large elk and moose heads at these busy sites, please call ahead to the phone number associated with each kiosk to ensure there is adequate freezer space to allow for drop-off.

  Download: here  This raster file is to accompany the Prairie Landscape Inventory (PLI) - Mixed Grassland Classification, and depicts its estimated level of accuracy. Accuracy has been calculated based on peer-review research and gathered survey information from the PLI-Review Web Application. The Prairie Landscape Inventory (PLI) working team of Habitat Unit in the Fish, Wildlife and Lands Branch, Ministry of Environment aims to develop improved methods of assessing land cover and land use for conservation. Native grassland, in particular, has been one of the most hard to map at risk ecosystems because of difficulty for imagery classification methods to distinguish native from tame grasslands. Improved classification methods will provide valuable information for habitat suitability, identifying high biodiversity potential and invasion risk potential.  This reliability map brings the understanding of classification accuracy (certainty) into a spatial scale prospective, illustrating the level of accuracy of the PLI Classification raster for each location. This map is scaled between 100 to 0, 100 is representing the highest accuracy, and 0 is absolutely the highest uncertainty.  The Prairie Landscape Inventory (PLI) - Mixed Grassland Classification raster has a resolution of 10m and was based on machine learning analysis and remote sensing data of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imagery.
