SK1 Woodland Caribou Habitat Potential

Woodland caribou habitat potential within the provincial forest of central and northern Saskatchewan has been identified by Saskatchewan, using a forest ecosite geographic information system layer which has been mapped for the SK1 area.  
  
  Download: hereCaribou habitat potential has been categorized into low, moderate and high classes based on the biophysical attributes of the Saskatchewan ecosite classification (McLaughlan et al., 2010) and their utility and function for caribou. Forest ecosites represent information about a site's tree species, plant-abundance and soil and site characteristics. Forest ecosite habitat potential ranks were assigned by individually evaluating the ecosite's potential to provide forage, refuge and calving habitat. Habitat potential refers to the ability or capability of a habitat type to support a wildlife species for its various life requirements. Potential does not consider the current state of the habitat (e.g., recently burned or harvested), but its optimal state.Habitat Potential Classes: Low habitat potential = 0 Moderate habitat potential = 1 High habitat potential = 2

Disease Investigations data

Table containing information relevant to animal disease investigations in Manitoba from 2012 to present.  
  
  This table contains information relevant to animal disease investigations in Manitoba from 2012 to present, conducted by the Chief Veterinary Office (CVO). Information includes year, number of sites, number of linked sites, animal species, disease types and results. Updated on a weekly basis.  It is important that users are aware of the following caveats when reviewing data presented in the Animal Disease Investigations Dashboard: 1. Each investigation can have one or more cases involved depending on the number of herds or animals exposed.  Not all disease investigations are handled the same due to a partnership approach.  Diseases can be detected via surveillance, ad hoc reporting, or through other programs. 2. Rabies is a separate program. Please see Manitoba's Provincial Rabies Management Program for data related to Rabies Surveillance.3. Certain zoonotic diseases, such as salmonella or influenza, are also captured in more detail through other means.  The total occurrence of a zoonotic disease represented in this dashboard reflects occurrences where risks or exposures were deemed significant enough to warrant further investigation.  4. Historically, One Health Investigations that were predominantly focused on Public Health issues rather than Animal Health concerns were not captured in this system and will be underrepresented here. Fields included ( Alias (Field Name): Field description.) Year (Year): Year of the disease investigation Number of Sites (Number_of_Sites): Number of investigation sites Number of Linked Sites (Number_of_Linked_Sites): Number of sites linked to investigation sites Species/Class (Species__Class): Group of animal species Disease Type (Disease_Type): The type of disease that is being investigated Result (Result): The outcome (positive/negative) for the corresponding animal disease investigation

FINAL SK2 West Caribou Habitat Management Areas

Caribou habitat management areas identify zones ("tiers") with similar importance to caribou, potential risks and primary strategies for caribou conservation.  
  
  These Final Caribou Habitat Management Areas (CHMAs) are based on known woodland caribou use and habitat potential mapping; in addition, levels of both human-caused and wildfire disturbances were also taken into consideration. Tier 1 areas were selected because they include high-moderate caribou habitat potential with high levels of observed caribou use and low levels of human-caused disturbance. Tier 2 areas were selected because they include areas of high-moderate woodland caribou habitat potential with observed use and higher levels of wildfire and human-caused disturbance. Tier 3 areas provide general habitat and maintain habitat connectivity between Tier 1 and Tier 2 areas. These areas are not permanent: they will be updated as habitat conditions, land use and caribou populations change over time. Different strategies have been developed for each Tier based on their stated management objectives and relative importance to and known use by caribou, current habitat condition and potential risks. A two page overview of the SK2 West Woodland Caribou Range Plan and the CHMAs can be viewed here: https://publications.saskatchewan.ca/#/products/122354 Find out more about woodland caribou and what the province is doing to manage their habitat and protect their populations: https://www.saskatchewan.ca/business/environmental-protection-and-sustainability/wildlife-and-conservation/wildlife-species-at-risk/woodland-caribou-program

GC HR and Pay - Algorithmic Impact Assessment (AIA), Leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) for backlog reduction: AI assistant prototype

PSPC Human Capital Management aims to address and eliminate the existing backlog of pay cases by implementing an AI assistant designed to support compensation agents (CA). The primary objective of the AI assistant is to offer advice and necessary information to CAs and support them in expediating case closure. Currently, the tool is applied to synthetic data on select case types (actings) that are over 365 days old. 

Adopting a hybrid-by-design approach, this initiative aims to harness the strengths of both human insight and machine efficiency. This approach enables rapid data consumption and recommendations by machines, while CAs retain decision-making authority over how the data is used, ensuring a balanced and effective resolution process.

The project will focus on aggregating relevant case data and information, assessing it for accuracy and completeness, and validating it against authoritative sources such as approved standard operating procedures (SoPs), job aids, directives, and policy documents. This comprehensive strategy aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of CAs work, facilitate faster case resolutions, and elevate the quality of service.

Treasury Board’s [Directive on Automated Decision-Making](https://www.tbs-sct.canada.ca/pol/doc-eng.aspx?id=32592) mandates the use of the Algorithmic Impact Assessment (AIA) tool to evaluate the risks and impacts of automating any decision-making process.  Additional details on the structure and use of the AIA, including how to interpret the scoring and impact levels assigned by the tool, can be found at the [Algorithmic Impact Assessment tool - Canada.ca](https://www.canada.ca/en/government/system/digital-government/digital-government-innovations/responsible-use-ai/algorithmic-impact-assessment.html) website.

Quantitative Crop Rotation Characteristics of Canada

The Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Annual Crop Inventory (ACI) is produced at a national scale, covering Canada’s entire agricultural extent. It has been generated operationally since 2011 for the entire country (2009 for the Prairie Provinces). This product is spatially continuous and maps the most probable crop type for every field in Canada, along with the land cover of non-agricultural lands (e.g. wetlands, forest, urban, etc.). It allows AAFC to study and model crop rotation patterns at the field level.   
  
  To develop the Quantitative Crop Rotation Characteristics of Canada, historical ACI data representing the time series of crops at agricultural field level with annual intervals were applied. They provided the time series of categories of crops for statistical analyses. The results of this work included spatial data sets with several calculated attributes representing crop rotation statistical characteristics.   
  
  Specifically, a crop sequence turbulence index was shown to be an efficient quantitative measure of mapping the spatial distribution of the sustainability of crop rotation in regions where dominantly annual crops were the active crop rotation.   
  
  In addition, based on characteristics of observed crops in their time series sequence and the quantitative sequence dynamics represented by the turbulence index, major spatial clusters of crop rotation styles were calculated. To analyze the turbulence index, crop rotation cluster class representing the general style of crop rotation must also be considered.  
  
  The crop rotation quantitative attributes calculated in this project which are at the field level, can be converted into useful information directing us towards the health and sustainability of crop rotations.

Engaging with Black communities on Canada’s Black Justice Strategy - Online survey complementing the community-led consultations

Justice Canada is developing Canada’s Black Justice Strategy (the Strategy or CBJS) to address anti-Black racism and systemic discrimination, which has led to the overrepresentation of Black people in the criminal justice system (CJS), including as victims of crime. The goal of the Strategy is to help ensure that all people in Canada have access to equal treatment before and under the law, as guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. As part of the development of the Strategy, Justice Canada undertook consultations with Black communities across Canada. A component of these consultations was an online survey developed to complement the community consultations, for those who were unable to attend the engagement sessions. This report summarizes the results of the online survey.

Petroleum and Environmental Management Tool (PEMT) – Eastern Arctic

The Eastern Arctic dataset comes from the Petroleum and Environmental Management Tool (PEMT). The online tool was decommissioned in 2019 and the data was transferred to Open Data in order to preserve it.  
  
  The PEMT was originally developed in 2009 to help guide development in the Canadian Arctic by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC). The online tool mapped the sensitivities of a variety of Arctic features, ranging from whales to traditional harvesting, across the Arctic. The tool was intended to aid government, oil and gas companies, Aboriginal groups, resource managers and public stakeholders in better understanding the geographic distribution of areas which are sensitive for environmental and socio-economic reasons.   
  
  The study area is located east of Baffin Island, Nunavut and encompasses marine habitat in Baffin Bay and Davis Strait. The boundaries of the study area are based on NOGB leasing grids applied in the Eastern Arctic, under which exploration and production licenses may be issued. Although portions of the study area hold high oil and gas potential and several small oil fields and substantial reserves of gas have been found since the 1960s in the north Baffin region, exploration for oil and gas has been limited to seismic operations and geological field work.  
  
  DISCLAIMER: Please refer to the PEMT Disclaimer document or the Resource Constraints - Use Limitation in the Additional Information section below.  
  
  Note: This is one of the 3 (three) datasets included in the PEMT application which includes the Beaufort Sea and Mackenzie Delta and High Arctic datasets.

North American Radar Composite (1 km)

This mosaic is calculated over the North American domain with a horizontal spatial resolution of 1 km. This mosaic therefore includes all the Canadian and American radars available in the network and which can reach a maximum of 180 contributing radars. To better represent precipitation over the different seasons, this mosaic renders in mm/h to represent rain and in cm/h to represent snow. For the two precipitation types (rain and snow), we use two different mathematical relationships to convert the reflectivity by rainfall rates (mm/h rain cm/h for snow). This is a hybrid mosaic from DPQPE (Dual-Pol Quantitative Precipitation Estimation) for S-Band radars. For the US Nexrad radars, ECCC uses the most similar product from the US Meteorological Service (NOAA). This product displays radar reflectivity converted into precipitation rates, using the same formulas as the Canadian radars.
