Number of large fires (>200 hectares) across Canada

The fire regime describes the patterns of fire seasonality, frequency, size, spatial continuity, intensity, type (e.g., crown or surface fire) and severity in a particular area or ecosystem.  
  
  The number of large fires refers to the annual number of fires greater than 200 hectares (ha) that occur per units of 100,000 ha. It was calculated per Homogeneous Fire Regime (HFR) zones. These HFR zones represent areas where the fire regime is similar over a broad spatial scale (Boulanger et al. 2014). Such zonation is useful in identifying areas with unusual fire regimes that would have been overlooked if fires had been aggregated according to administrative and/or ecological classifications.  
  
  Fire data comes from the Canadian National Fire Database covering 1959–1999 (for HFR zones building) and 1959-1995 (for model building). Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) modeling was used to relate monthly fire regime attributes with monthly climatic/fire-weather in each HFR zone. Future climatic data were simulated using the Canadian Earth System Model version 2 (CanESM2) and downscaled at a 10 Km resolution using ANUSPLIN for two different Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP). RCPs are different greenhouse gas concentration trajectories adopted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for its fifth Assessment Report. RCP 2.6 (referred to as rapid emissions reductions) assumes that greenhouse gas concentrations peak between 2010-2020, with emissions declining thereafter. In the RCP 8.5 scenario (referred to as continued emissions increases) greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise throughout the 21st century.  
  
  Multiple layers are provided. First, the number of large fires (>200 ha) is shown across Canada for a reference period (1981-2010). Projected number of large fires layers are available for the short- (2011-2040), medium- (2041-2070), and long-term (2071-2100) under the RCP 8.5 (continued emissions increases) and, for the long-term (2071-2100), under RCP 2.6 (rapid emissions reductions).

Literature Review: Systemic barriers to the full socio-economic participation of persons with disabilities and the benefits realized when such persons are included in the workplace December 2020

In collaboration with the Accessibility Office, the Policy Research Group (PRG), Canadian Heritage completed a literature review in December 2020. The purpose was to capture the research and data on the kinds of systematic barriers persons with disabilities face in the workplace and  the benefits of hiring persons with disabilities. The ultimate goal is to educate the workforce on how to eliminate barriers and to foster a more inclusive workforce for persons with disabilities.

Air Pollutant Emissions Indicators - Respirable particulate matter emissions by source, Canda, 1990 to 2012

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators  CESI  program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Air Pollutant Emissions indicators track the total emissions of key air pollutants from anthropogenic  human-related  sources. These air pollutants are sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, ammonia, carbon monoxide, total particulate matter, respirable particulate matter and fine particulate matter. For each air pollutant, the indicators are provided at the national level. They also identify the major sources of emissions and provide links to the detailed information on air pollutant emissions from facilities. Information is provided to Canadians in a number of formats including: static and interactive maps, charts and graphs, HTML and CSV data tables and downloadable reports. See supplementary documentation for data sources and details on how those data were collected and how the indicator was calculated.

National Water Quality Pesticides Surveillance Data

Pesticides surveillance data in freshwater from federal and federal-provincial sites at various locations throughout Canada are included in this dataset. Measurements mostly include pesticides but could include physical-chemical parameters such as temperature, pH, alkalinity, major ions, nutrients and metals. The number of sites varies from year-to-year, and sampling frequencies vary from one location to another, as surveillance activities are adjusted according to evolving environmental pressures and governmental programs. Data are collected in order to determine baseline water quality status, determine event-based pulse concentrations, evaluate the effectiveness of management actions, verify compliance with water quality objectives, and/or identify emerging issues. Additional information on the surveillance project allows suitable data interpretation and can be obtained by contacting the data authority. More pesticides data are available as part of the National Long-term Water Quality Monitoring Data.

Selection of Statistics Canada socio-economic variables by census division 2016 (CD)

Here is a selection of map services from Statistics Canada displaying socio-economic variables as thematic maps, viewed by census division.  
  
  This selection covers the following themes: families and households, housing, education, language, income, immigration, aboriginal people, age and transport.  
  
  Census division (CD) is the general term for provincially legislated areas (such as county, municipalité régionale de comté and regional district) or their equivalents. In other provinces and the territories where laws do not provide for such areas, Statistics Canada defines equivalent areas for statistical reporting purposes in cooperation with these provinces and territories. Census divisions are intermediate geographic areas between the province/territory level and the municipality (census subdivision).  
  
  NOTE: Services by theme may not all be listed in the Related Products section below as they are added individually only once available for publication.

Percentage of owner households spending 30% or more income on shelter costs by census subdivision, 2016

This service shows the proportion of average total income of households which is spent on shelter costs by census subdivision. The data is from the Census Profile, Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 98-316-X2016001.  
  
  Shelter-cost-to-income ratio is calculated for private households living in owned or rented dwellings who reported a total household income greater than zero.  
  
  Private households living in band housing, located on an agricultural operation that is operated by a member of the household, and households who reported a zero or negative total household income are excluded.  
  
  The relatively high shelter-costs-to-household income ratios for some households may have resulted from the difference in the reference period for shelter costs and household total income data. The reference period for shelter cost data is 2016, while household total income is reported for the year 2015. As well, for some households, the 2015 household total income may represent income for only part of a year.

Average value of dwelling (dollars) by census division, 2016

This service shows the average owner estimated value of dwelling for Canada by 2016 census division.  The data is from the Census Profile, Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 98-316-X2016001.  
  
  Value (owner estimated) of private dwelling refers to the dollar amount expected by the owner if the asset were to be sold.  
  
  In the context of dwelling, it refers to the value of the entire dwelling, including the value of the land it is on and of any other structure, such as a garage, which is on the property. If the dwelling is located in a building which contains several dwellings, or a combination of residential and business premises, all of which the household owns, the value is estimated as a portion of the market value that applies only to the dwelling in which the household resides.

A variety of basic data layers (e.g. roads, railroads, populated places, political boundaries, hydrography, bathymetry, sea ice and glaciers) have been integrated so that their relative positions are correct. This collection of data sets forms a base with which other North American thematic data may be integrated. The North American Atlas data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national and continental level. Any data outside of Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America included in the North American Atlas data sets is strictly to complete the context of the data.
