Probability of the annual minimum snow and ice (MSI) presence over Canada

Snow and ice are important hydrological resources.  Their minimum spatial extent here referred to as annual minimum snow/ice (MSI) cover, plays a very important role as an indicator of long-term changes and baseline capacity for surface water storage.  The MSI probability is derived from sequence of seventeen 10-day clear-sky composites corresponding to April, 1 to September, 20 warm period for each year since 2000. Data from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Terra satellite for the period since 2000 have been processed with the special technology developed at the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) as described in Trishchenko, 2016; Trishchenko et al., 2016; 2009, 2006, Trishchenko and Ungureanu, 2021, Khlopenkov and Trishchenko, 2008, Luo et al., 2008.  The presence of snow or ice is determined for each pixel of the image based on snow/ice scene identification procedure and the probability if computed for the entire warm season as a ratio of number of snow/ice flags to the total number of pixels available (less or equal to 17). The minimum snow and ice extent can be derived from the probability map by applying a certain threshold.   
  
  New data version V5.0 replaces previous version V4.0 for all data available since 2000.  All MSI files were reprocessed for all MODIS input data based on collection 6.1.  The output format has not changed since previous version. It is described in Trishchenko (2024). The impact of input data change is small and can be detected only for time interval 2000-2015. Data starting 2016 has been already derived using MODIS collection 6.1 input.  
  
  The differences between the MSI data based on MODIS Collection 5 (i.e. MSI V4) versus MODIS Collection 6.1 (i.e. MSI V5), on average, are quite small. The region-wide relative difference in the MSI extent varies from -3.97% to +1.75%.  The mean value is -0.14%, the median value is 0.18% and standard deviation is 1.83%.   As such, we do not expect any sizeable impact of the version change on our previous conclusions regarding trends and climate variations, except for refining the relative values of statistical parameters within the range of a few percents.

Income and Economic Well-being of Canadian Lone-Parent Families, 2001 to 2021

Between 2001 and 2021, Canadian lone-parent families – defined as a family with one parent and at least one child who live in the same dwelling – experienced substantial shifts in their financial wellbeing. This report includes an analysis of the economic status of lone-parent families over a 21-year period, focusing on income trends, low-income statistics, and sources of income, including market income, government transfers, and support payments. There is also an analysis of the financial wellbeing of Indigenous, disabled, and immigrant lone parents.

Internal Audits 2025

The mandate of Justice Canada’s internal audit function is to help Justice Canada achieve its strategic outcomes by using a systematic and disciplined approach to assess and contribute to the continuous improvement of its risk management, internal control, and governance processes. The results of Justice Canada's audits are posted on our Web site to promote public accountability and transparency.

The objective of publishing departmental internal audit performance results, in the form of key compliance attributes, is to provide pertinent information to stakeholders (Canadians, parliamentarians) regarding the professionalism, performance and impact of the internal audit function in departments.

The 2025 internal audits concern: Litigation Forecasting

Canadian Geographical Names - CGN

The Canadian Geographical Names Data Base (CGNDB) is the authoritative national database of Canada's geographical names. The purpose of the CGNDB is to store place names and their attributes that have been approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada (GNBC), the national coordinating body responsible for standards and policies on place names. The CGNDB is maintained by Natural Resources Canada, through the Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation. The geographic extent of the CGNDB is the Canadian landmass and water bodies; the temporal extent is from 1897 to present. This dataset is extracted from the CGNDB on a weekly basis, and consists of current officially approved names, feature type, coordinates of the feature, decision date, source, and other attributes. The output file formats for this product are:  text (CSV), Shape (SHP), and Keyhole Markup Language (KML).  
  
  Content advisory: The Canadian Geographical Names Database contains historical terminology that is considered racist, offensive and derogatory. Geographical naming authorities are in the process of addressing many offensive place names, but the work is still ongoing. For more information, please contact the GNBC Secretariat.

Department of Justice Program Evaluation

Program Evaluation in the Department of Justice has two primary roles: carrying out objective, credible and useful evaluation (both formative and summative) of the Department's policies, programs, operations and services; and providing advice and assistance to managers on results-based management and reporting on results achieved. 

Preparation and publishing of Program Evaluation reports are consistent with the Treasury Board Policy on Results which encourages government organisations to make reports accessible to the public with minimal formality. 

Available to the public are the Triennial Plan, Policies, and Program Evaluation summaries from 2004 onward. However, users should note that Program Evaluations from 2004-2005 are not maintained by Justice Canada and are handled by the Government of Canada Web Archive administered by Library and Archives Canada (LAC).

The PA extends to individuals the right of access to information about themselves held by the Government, subject to specific and limited exceptions. The PA also protects individuals privacy by presenting others from having access to their personal information and gives individuals substantial control over the collection, use and disclosure by the federal government of such information. 

Section 72 of the PA requires that the head of every government institution prepare for submission to Parliament an annual report on the administration of the PA within the institution during each financial year.

The data extract is a series of compressed ASCII text files of the full data set contained in the Canada Vigilance Adverse Reaction Online Database. It is intended for users who are familiar with database structures and setting up their own queries. Find details on the data structure required for the data file in the Canada Vigilance Adverse Reaction Online Database - Data Structure. In order to use the data, the file must be loaded into an existing database or information system provided by the user. The Canada Vigilance Adverse Reaction Online Database contains information about suspected adverse reactions (also known as side effects) to health products, captured from adverse reaction reports submitted to Health Canada by consumers and health professionals, who submit reports voluntarily, as well as by market authorization holders (manufacturers and distributors), who are required to submit reports according to the Food and Drugs Regulations. Information concerning vaccines used for immunization have only been included in the database since January 1, 2011. Indication data has recently been added to the data extract files and the Detailed Adverse Reaction Report. Indication refers to the particular condition for which a health product was taken. For example, diabetes is an indication for insulin. Health products are often authorised for use in treating more than one indication. Note: The database cannot be used on its own to evaluate a health product's safety profile. It does not provide conclusive information on the safety of health products, and is not a substitute for medical advice. Should you have an issue of medical concern, consult a qualified health professional.
