Niagara Escarpment Plan land use designations

Depicts the internal boundaries of the Niagara Escarpment Plan area. The 7 land use designations are: * escarpment natural area * escarpment protection area * escarpment rural area * [minor urban centre](/dataset/minor-urban-centres-in-the-niagara-escarpment-plan) * urban area * escarpment recreation area * mineral resource extraction area The land use designations represent the internal boundaries between designations within the Niagara Escarpment Plan. These internal boundaries are not intended to be site-specific and should not be used for accurate measurements. The exact delineation of designation boundaries on specific sites will be done by the implementing body through the application of the designation criteria as outlined in Part 1 of the Niagara Escarpment Plan, utilizing the most detailed or up-to-date information available and site inspection.

Government of Canada’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory

The Greening Government Strategy establishes climate and environmental commitments for the Government of Canada’s internal operations. The Government of Canada’s operations will be net-zero emissions by 2050 including:

• Government owned and leased real property

• Mobility: fleets, business travel and commuting

• Procurement of goods and services

• National safety and security (NSS) operations

To implement net-zero in real property and fleet operations, the Government of Canada will reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 40% by 2025 and at least 90% below 2005 levels by 2050. On this emissions reduction pathway, the government will aspire to reduce emissions by an additional 10% each 5 years starting in 2025.

The Government of Canada tracks its energy use and its GHG emissions across 29 departments and agencies. As of fiscal year 2024-25, we have reduced GHG emissions from federal facilities and conventional fleet (excluding NSS) operations by 42.5% from 2005 levels.

The Government of Canada’s Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions result from the energy used for its facilities and fleets:

• facilities comprise office space, defence bases, laboratories, warehouses and other building types

• fleets comprise on-road vehicles and off-road fleets, including cars, vans, trucks, boats, ships and planes. It consists of vehicles and equipment primarily used to transport people and cargo in the conduct of government business.

Updated data for fiscal year 2024 to 2025 shows that GHG emissions continue a downward trend. Operational improvements (e.g. portfolio rationalization, increased energy efficiency) and clean electricity procurement contributed to a reduction of GHG emissions from the previous year (2023-2024).

In addition, some year-to-year changes in GHG emissions may be due to data collection gaps, methodology or error correction refinements, while others may be the result of one-time or specific events or actions (such as natural disasters or operational disruptions). Additionally, variations in seasonal weather conditions (for example, the effect of heating or cooling days on building energy use) also influence annual GHG emissions.

Data for some facilities have been excluded for operational reasons. Therefore, the results of calculations using this data may not align with other published results.

Air Quality Risk

The data, created in ArcGIS, represents an assessment of air quality risk for the agricultural area of Alberta in 2005. Agricultural activities that may have some influence on air quality manure production (odour) and cultivation intensity (particulate matter). The airsheds of the agricultural region of Alberta are considered to be uniform in their physical susceptibility to risk from agricultural activities. Air quality risk is a useful measure for those concerned about health, safety and nuisance issues related the quality of air in agricultural areas. Awareness of where agricultural activities related to livestock production and intensive cultivation are located, may be useful for people with health or nuisance related concerns. Blowing soil can cause respiratory problems and can reduce visibility on roads and highways. Dust from farm traffic can be a concern during peak agricultural activity, such as harvesting or manure hauling. Frequent strong odours can be unpleasant nuisance for neighbours. In areas of greater air quality risk, environmental farm planning can help to address the issues and provide solutions. Practices including pen/barn maintenance, method of manure application, manure storage, composting, adjusting, feed rations and reducing or eliminating tillage can be looked at in an environmental farm plan.

Bill C-26 (S.C. 2012 c. 9) Reforms to Self-Defence and Defence of Property 

Bill C-26 the Citizens Arrest and Self-defence Act, S.C. 2012 c.9, came into force on march 11, 2013. The legislation replaces the old Criminal Code provisions on self-defence and defence of property with new and reformed defences. 

The purpose of the Technical Guide is to promote, for legal practitioners, a common understanding of the purpose and effect of the reforms and a common set of arguments as to their application and interpretation, so as to produce meaningful and consistent jurisprudence as rapidly as possible, while avoiding both confusion and uncertainty. 

In passing Bill C-26, Parliament's primary intent was to simplify the legislative text that sets out the defences. Self-defence and defence of property spans nine sections of the Criminal Code (sections 34-42). There are multiple distinct versions of each defence, each of which appears to be aimed at slightly different circumstance in which a defence claim might arise. For decades, this legislative approach to the defences has been criticized as being overly complex and detailed, and producing internally inconsistent versions of the same defence. The public was not served by a legislative text which even judges had difficulty in understanding and explaining. 

Parliament’s intention in reforming the defences was to enact defences that express the fundamental principles that animate the laws of self-defence and defence of property so that the law itself corresponds to the approach taken by juries in deciding these cases.

The new self-defence law includes a non-exhaustive list of factors applicable to the determination of whether accused's actions were reasonable in the circumstances.

Food Microbiology - Targeted Surveys - Final Report - Bacterial Pathogens in Sprouts  - April 2012 to October 2014 

​A targeted survey on bacterial pathogens in bean sprouts and seed sprouts analysed 3,221 samples for Salmonella, E. coli O157, and generic E. coli. Some of these samples were also tested for non-O157 STEC. E. coli O157 was not found in any samples. Six samples were found to contain non-O157 STEC. Salmonella was found in three samples. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency conducted appropriate follow-up activities for the Salmonella contaminated samples resulting in product recalls and/or the implementation of corrective actions by the processing facilities. No reported illnesses were in association with any of the Salmonella positive samples.

Crop diversity in Canada

This dataset provides two landscape-level indices derived for two hierarchical ecological frameworks in Canada—Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) and EcoDistrict polygons—across the country’s agricultural regions. The first index, the Shannon Diversity Index, quantifies spatial variability and crop diversity present in the 2021 agricultural landscape. The second, the Rotation Turbulence Index, measures temporal variability by capturing the intensity of crop rotation changes within fields from 2011 to 2021. Both indices are subsequently aggregated to their respective reporting-boundary polygons.

National Chemical Residue Monitoring Program and Chemistry Food Safety Oversight Program Annual Report 2017-2018

This report ​​summarizes testing results from both the NCRMP and the fresh fruit and vegetable portion of the FSO Program in food samples collected between April 1, 2017 and March 31, 2018 (hereafter referred to as 2017/18). Nearly 120,000 tests for residues of veterinary drugs, pes​ticides, metals, and contaminants were performed on approximately 16,000 NCRMP and FSO monitoring samples and generated millions of results, which are summarized in Annex B of this report. Test results from samples taken as part of the NCRMP and FSO Program showed that the overwhelming majority of food on the market meets Canadian standards for chemical residues. The overall compliance rate was determined to be 96.6% which is consistent with past years.
