NCC National Interest Land Mass (NILM)

The National Interest Land Mass (NILM) comprises a set of lands (mainly-NCC owned) considered essential to the functioning and experience of Canada's Capital. The NILM is the dominant tool guiding federal land management and ownership in support of Capital functions. The NILM was approved by Treasury Board in 1998 and the first update was approved in 2001. The 2020 NILM Update is the second update.

NCC Ecological Land Mass (ELM)

The Ecological Land Mass (ELM) classification was established through the 2020 National Interest Land Mass (NILM) Update. ELM lands describe ecological corridors that have inherent natural values and that protect Species at Risk (SAR) and their habitats. The classification identifies lands to protect in perpetuity through planning and partnership efforts.   
  
  ELM was derived from two separate analyses - the Ontario side from the AECOM natural linkages analysis (2012) and the Quebec side from Del Degan, Masse (DDM) ecological corridors analysis (2012). Adjustments were made as appropriate.

Adjusted daily rainfall and snowfall dataset for Canada

The AdjDlyRS dataset contains adjusted daily rainfall (R) and snowfall (S) data from all Canadian stations reporting rainfall and snowfall for which we have metadata to do the adjustments (Wang et al. 2017). The processing includes inspection and adjustments using quality control procedures customized for producing gridded datasets (Wang et al. 2017), including: (1) conversion of snowfall ruler measurements to their water equivalents; (2) corrections for gauge undercatch and evaporation due to wind effect, for gauge specific wetting loss, and for trace precipitation amount; and (3) treatment of flags (e.g. accumulation flags). Version 2020 or later versions of this dataset also includes identification and correction of random erroneous values, including false zeros, which usually arose from missing values being misrecorded as 0 precipitation in the climate Archive (Cheng et al. 2022). All the identified erroneous daily values are set to missing. A total of 3346 stations were processed, but the data series are not homogenized. Most of the stations are located in southern Canada and have short and/or seasonal data records. The number of stations changes over time: there are 512-958 stations in the period 1948-1964, 1012-2038 stations in the period 1965-2008, and only around 300 stations in the recent years. Note that the unadjusted/raw total precipitation data in Environment and Climate Change Canada's digital Archive underestimate more than 25% of the total precipitation in northern Canada, and about 10-15% in most of southern Canada (Wang et al. 2017).

Canadian Water Resources Vulnerability Index - Permafrost Loss

Permafrost loss is pervasive across northern circumpolar regions.  The loss of frozen ground has profound impacts on water resources at varying spatial and temporal scales via changes to predominant hydrological processes, runoff pathways and entrainment rates of solutes and sediments.  Consensus exists that permafrost loss will continue, and rates will vary spatially, but how hydrology and biogeochemistry will respond across large swaths of land remains largely unknown.  Previous research elucidated small-scale processes or described circumpolar trends, with minimal cross-scale research.  In particular, a pan-Canadian assessment of water resource vulnerability to permafrost loss is lacking.  This study develops and applies a framework for assessing vulnerability of pan-Canadian water resources to permafrost loss.  For the purposes of this study, “water resources” is defined as the surface hydrological and aquatic chemistry regime characterized by water budgets, aquatic chemistry concentrations and loads.   The framework was applied in developing the Canadian Water Resources Vulnerability Index to Permafrost Loss (CWRVIPL), including mapping of the index across the Canadian North.  The CWRVIPL is a linearly additive index of permafrost, physiographic, disturbance and climatic conditions and stressors that influence water budgets and aquatic chemistry.  Initial results imply aspects of water resources in northern Alberta, the Northwest Territories and the Hudson Bay Lowlands are most vulnerable to permafrost loss, and these regions are embedded in a large band of relatively more vulnerable territory extending from the northern Yukon south to James Bay and northeastward to Labrador.  In the Arctic Archipelago, water resources in portions of Banks, Victoria and Baffin Islands are also relatively vulnerable to permafrost loss.  The index identifies areas of water resource vulnerability on which to focus and encourage ongoing observation and research in the Canadian North.

The Canadian Ag-Land Monitoring System (CALMS)

AAFC’s Canadian Ag-Land Monitoring System (CALMS), operational since 2009, was developed by AAFC’s Earth Observation Service (EOS) to deliver weekly NDVI-based maps of crop condition in near-real-time. The CALMS uses data collected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS), a sensor mounted onboard NASA’s Terra satellite that has been acquiring data since February 2000. The state-of-the-art radiometric, spectral and spatial resolutions of MODIS Terra make it particularly well-suited for large-scale vegetation mapping and assessment. Crop condition (NDVI) maps are generated weekly by AAFC throughout Canada’s growing season, the period defined as the six-month period stretching from the start of Julian week 12 (end of March) to the end of Julian week 44 (late October). Weeks of the year are defined according to the ISO 8601 week-numbering standard, where weeks start on a Monday and end the following Sunday. CALMS products are generated in the MODIS native Integrated Sinusoidal (ISIN) projection for the region covering the twelve MODIS tiles h09v03 to h14v03 and h09v04 to h14v04.

Canada Energy Regulator (CER) - Compliance and Enforcement

CER Reports on Compliance and Enforcement

When companies do not meet requirements, the CER has the authority to take action to bring the company back into compliance, so they are operating safely. The CER’s response depends on the issue and the situation, and it enforces requirements in a manner that is fair predictable, consistent, timely, and transparent. The CER has several enforcement tools available. 

Explore the reports on the work we do to check that companies are meeting requirements and the work we are doing to enforce those requirements. The CER’s Reports on Compliance and Enforcement include:
•	Compliance Verification Activity Reports – these reports are produced from the CER’s field inspections and emergency response exercises that we do with companies. 
•	Warning Letters – these letters are issued to companies if a non-compliance has not been addressed or as a reminder of what may happen if a non-compliance reoccurs.
•	Inspection Officer Orders – an Order is a tool we may use to ensure a company takes prompt action. 
•	Commission Order or Direction – if we’re having trouble bringing a company into compliance with other tools, we may issue an order or direction from the Commission.
•	Audit Reports – once we complete an audit of a company, we publish a report and letter closing the audit.
•	Administrative Monetary Penalties – both companies and individuals can be fined for actions that are unsafe.
