Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Monitoring Program

The Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Monitoring Program (GLCWMP) involves the monitoring of Great Lakes coastal wetland biota and habitat to provide information on coastal wetland condition for use in conservation and management decision-making using fish, birds, anurans, vegetation, aquatic macroinvertebrates and water quality. The main outputs from this program are a thorough assessment of the condition of over 1000 Great Lakes coastal wetlands (that are larger than four hectares in size and have a surface water connection to the lake) and the implementation of a standardized long-term monitoring program for coastal wetlands across the Great Lakes basin. This program is funded under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO). The Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) of Environment and Climate Change Canada has been involved in the program since it began in 2011, and over that time has conducted fish, vegetation, aquatic macroinvertebrates and water quality surveys at 80 coastal wetland sites (as of 2025) primarily on the Canadian shore of Lake Ontario. Program data are available by request at: www.greatlakeswetlands.org. The data included here are a list of the 80 sites surveyed by CWS, spatial coordinates for each site, and the years that sites were surveyed.

Time zones in Canada

There are six official time zones in Canada: Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Newfoundland, and Atlantic. All time zone boundaries in Canada are regulated by the provinces and territories. 

This record contains maps and data for both legislated Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time boundaries. Daylight Saving Time occurs every year; it starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. However, the Yukon, Saskatchewan and parts of British Columbia, Quebec and Nunavut do not observe Daylight Saving Time.

The changes to Pacific time announced on March 2, 2026, by the Government of British Columbia are not reflected in this dataset. Please consult the [Government of British Columbia's announcement](https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2026AG0013-000209#:~:text=B.C.%27s%20new%20time%20zone,%20Pacific%20time,%20will,and%20other%20regions%20observing%20mountain%20standard%20time) for more information.

The maps and data were produced by the Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO) at Natural Resources Canada. The time zone boundary lines were created from information provided by the National Research Council who are responsible for official time in Canada.

Heritage sites declared by the Government of Quebec

The government can declare as a heritage site a territory that is of interest for its archaeological, architectural, artistic, artistic, emblematic, ethnological, historical, identity, landscape, scientific, scientific, social, social, urban or technological value.¹

The Ministry of Culture and Communications makes available some of its data on heritage sites declared by the Government of Quebec (formerly historic and natural districts). These elements of real estate heritage are part of the heritage protected under the Cultural Heritage Act (L.R.Q., c. 21) and are registered in the Quebec Cultural Heritage Register.

These elements and all related information can be found in the Répertoire du Patrimoine Culturel du Québec. www.patrimoine-cultur.gouv.qc.ca

Note that each of the declared heritage sites is represented by a polygon delineating its perimeter. A version represented in the form of points locating the site on the territory is also available.

These locations are provided for information purposes only and, therefore, have no legal effect. Refer to the Cultural Heritage Register, maintained at the Ministry by the Registrar of Cultural Heritage, for legal information.

Orthorectified imagery from Quebec

Orthorectified imagery (orthophotographs and orthomosaics) offers an aerial view of Quebec territory at different times. Orthophotographs are the result of a process that corrects the deformations caused by the inclination of the camera and the relief. Orthomosaics are the fusion of several orthophotographs that facilitate analysis on a larger scale. 

Acquired since 1992, orthorectified imagery offers a faithful representation of the territory at various dates. In particular, it can be used for mapping, territorial planning, monitoring landscape changes, environmental risk analysis or integration into geographic information systems (GIS) by a variety of stakeholders, including professional staff from municipal, governmental, governmental, forestry, agricultural and environmental communities, including professional staff from municipal, governmental, governmental, forestry, agricultural and environmental communities.

The geographic coverage and technical characteristics (resolution, product type) are accessible via the [download map] (https://imagerie-telechargement.portailcartographique.gouv.qc.ca/), which also allows files to be retrieved. This coverage will be improved regularly depending on the availability of new data.

These collections come from several government initiatives, including the Ecoforest Inventory of Southern Quebec (IEQM), and numerous partnerships with ministries, agencies and municipalities.

In addition, orthophotographs produced as part of the planning, monitoring and control of forest activities are also available, only in visualization mode, on [Forêt Ouverte] (https://www.foretouverte.gouv.qc.ca/?pos=@-74.03258,49.08077&ctx=_default&urls=https://servicesmatriciels.mern.gouv.qc.ca/erdas-iws/ogc/wmts/Imagerie_Aeroportee_Forestiere_Historique&layers=0,[Planification_Suivi_Controle_2023_2023_Planif_Suiv_Cont_20cm_)**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

2016 Quebec Deprivation Index

The deprivation index was designed in the late 1990s in order to measure the deprivation of Quebecers on a small geographic scale. It is used for the purposes of researching and monitoring trends on social inequalities in health, developing policies and programs, allocating resources, and evaluating services. It is composed of a material dimension and a social dimension that can be analyzed separately or in combination. The index includes six indicators, all from the 2016 census and calculated on the basis of dissemination areas (DAs).

The file includes the national (province of Quebec), regional (health regions (RSS)), and local (territorial service networks (RTS), local service networks (RLS), and local community service centers (CLSCs)) versions of the deprivation index. In cases where a broadcast area (AD) straddles two territories (in the RTS, RLS and CLSC versions of the file), it is the AD with the largest proportion of the population that determines which RTS, RLS or CLSC is selected in order to have a single deprivation index value per AD for mapping. All the results by AD are available in the equivalence table on the [*Web site of the National Institute of Public Health of Quebec (INSPQ) *] (https://www.inspq.qc.ca/defavorisation/indice-de-defavorisation-materielle-et-sociale).
