Wildlife Refuges

The Wildlife Refuge feature class provides the geographical boundaries (polygons) of New Brunswick's Wildlife Refuges and Wildlife Management Areas. Most of these entities were established in the mid 1900s for the management of wildlife species that were hunted, trapped or snared by providing areas where hunting, trapping or snaring could be prohibited or restricted. Some areas were included because they were recognized tourist destinations (Acadian Village and Kings Landing Wildlife Management Areas) or other areas designated for "protection". As of early 2008, hunting, trapping and snaring is not allowed in any Wildlife Refuge and some Wildlife Management Areas; while in some Wildlife Management Areas trapping and snaring are allowed but no hunting; and in other Wildlife Management Areas hunting, trapping and snaring are allowed; ie, no restrictions.

Ombuds Annual Report: Moving Forward Together—September 2023 to August 2024

Every organization faces challenges, some universal, and others unique to mandate, operating context, and other factors. In the case of the OAG, I see an organization that has been in a state of ongoing transition since I arrived, redefining its vision, reshaping its culture, and pursuing transformation, including a range of initiatives intended to modernize our workplace. I see a workforce of managers and employees at all levels who care about the mandate of the OAG and who invest themselves in working to achieve our collective potential. And yet our organizational challenges persist.

Employment Equity Representation for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service

Under the Employment Act, separate employers covered under Schedule 4 of the Financial Administration Act that have more than 100 employees are required to provide their reports to the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer (OCHRO) of the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat only for the purposes of tabling in Parliament at the same time as the Public Service of Canada report. No information is reported on students, casual workers or employees on leave without pay, such as those on care and nurturing leave and educational leave. As required by the Employment Equity Act, annual reports to Parliament present information for the fiscal year beginning April 1 and ending March 31.

All tabulations, other than those for women, contain data obtained through self-identification. This data is provided voluntarily by employees and protected under the Privacy Act. It is maintained separately in the Service's Employment Equity Data Bank. The accuracy of the employment equity data depends on the willingness of the employees to self-identify.

Canadian Hydrospatial Network - CHN

The Canadian Hydrospatial Network (CHN) is an analysis-ready geospatial network of features that help enable the modelling of surface water flow in Canada. The six main layers and feature types are: flowlines, waterbodies, catchments, catchment aggregates, work units, and hydro nodes.    
  
  Where possible the CHN is derived from high resolution source data such as Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) derived Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and aerial imagery, to name a few. If existing provincial or territorial hydrographic networks meet the standards, they are incorporated into the CHN, otherwise automatic extraction methods are used on the high-resolution source data. To provide full network connectivity, if neither of these methods is possible in a region, the NHN is converted into the CHN until higher-resolution source data is available.  
  
  Additional value-added attributes are included in the CHN to aid modelling, such as stream order and reach slope. The CHN physical model and features are also closely aligned and harmonized with the USGS 3DHP hydrographic network, which aids trans-border modelling. Where possible geonames (i.e. toponyms) are also added.  
  
  The CHN is produced and disseminated by hydrologically connected geographic areas called work units. Work units can contain just one watershed, several small adjacent watersheds outletting into a large body of water, or be one of many parts of a larger watershed. In all cases, the features of a work unit are hydrologically connected. This is a more natural approach to data delivery, in comparison to data that is split into tiles. A generalized work unit index file is provided in the downloads to help users decide which files to download.

Forest Area Burned - Prince Albert

This dataset identifies the location and area burned for fires within the current Prince Albert National Park boundary. All fires over 2 ha from 1930--2017 are included and fires under 2 ha are included opportunistically. Multiple sources are used to gather information about each fire. If area burned estimates differ across sources, the most accurate available source is generally used as the final estimate (in order of preference: LANDSAT, Aerial/Orthophotography, Time-Since-Fire Map, Operational Fire Map, Fire Report). Historically, fire was supressed in this area leading to reduction of grasslands and dominance of continuous, mature forest on the landscape. Management actions seek to restore fire in the Aspen Parkland (40 year cycle) and the Mixedwood Boreal (100 year cycle), and both natural and prescribed burns are used to bring back and maintain ecosystem diversity.

Supporting Black Canadian Communities Initiative (SBCCI) - Close Projects Capital Assistance

From 2019 to 2022, the Supporting Black Canadian Communities Initiative (SBCCI) played a crucial role in bolstering Black-led, Black-focused, and Black-serving (B3) nonprofit organizations across Canada through its Capital Assistance funding program. This initiative provided financial support to address critical infrastructure and equipment needs, thereby enhancing the capacity of these organizations to serve their communities effectively. The grants enabled B3 organizations to undertake minor renovations or retrofits of their facilities and to purchase essential equipment.

The program’s primary objectives were to:

1) Enhance Organizational Capacity: By improving infrastructure and acquiring necessary equipment, B3 
 organizations were better equipped to fulfill their missions and manage their operations more efficiently.

2) Improve Service Delivery: With enhanced facilities and resources, these organizations could offer better services to Black communities across Canada.

Organizations eligible for the program could apply for grants of up to $100,000. These funds were allocated for two main types of improvements:

- Equipment Purchases (e.g., upgrading computers or software): To equip workspaces and community spaces are identified by red points on the attached map.

- Renovations/Retrofits: To undertake improvements or modifications to existing facilities are indicated by green points on the map.

- Both Equipment and Renovations/Retrofits (e.g., renovating community kitchens to increase capacity): Projects that include both types of funding are represented by blue points on the map.

The dataset provided focuses exclusively on projects that have been completed and closed. It does not include projects that are still ongoing, those that were found ineligible for funding, or projects that could not be finished.

Canadian historical snow survey data

In situ observations of snow water equivalent (SWE) from manual snow surveys and automated sensors are made at ~1000 sites across Canada in support of water resource planning for flood control and hydroelectricity production. These data represent an important source of information for research (e.g. validation of hydrological and climate model models), for applied studies (e.g. snow loads) and for climate monitoring. A data rescue effort in 1998 generated the first version of the Canadian historical snow survey dataset (MSC, 2000) which was subsequently updated in 2004. This update includes data to March 2017 and is provided as bi-weekly 0.1 x 0.1 degree grid box averages to facilitate research applications. Data for individual snow survey sites are also provided but exclude most data from Quebec after 1985 that have access restrictions. Information on data format and contact information for the Quebec data are provided in the "ReadMe" file.

Wild Fish Health, Oil Sands Region

Wild fish health data (length, weight, gonad size etc.) are now available for trout perch collected from the Athabasca, Peace River and Clearwater Rivers; white sucker collected from the Athabasca and Clearwater Rivers; longnose sucker collected from the Peace River; slimy sculpin collected from tributaries east of the mainstem Athabasca River, as well as Tar River; lake chub collected from tributaries west of the mainstem Athabasca, as well as Alice Creek; longnose dace from the Mackay River; and northern pike collected from the Clearwater River. Contaminants data available for walleye collected from the Athabasca and Peace Rivers. For each of these data sets, upstream reference areas are provided for comparison to downstream developed sites. Reference data are currently being evaluated for variability between years to develop triggers, and these triggers are essential to eventually quantify potential effects at exposed sites. Using existing critical effect sizes developed in the Environmental Effects Monitoring programs for pulp and paper and metal mining effluents, condition endpoints in white sucker were increased within the deposit. Slimy sculpin condition and reproductive endpoints are also exceeding effect sizes downstream of development sites. This data is now being used to predict future fish health endpoints within sites, between sites and relative to reference variability to help assess change in fish health.
