Trends of surface wind speed change based on adjusted and homogenized climate station data

Monthly, seasonal and annual trends of mean wind speed change (kilometres per hour) based on homogenized station data (AHCCD) are available. Trends are calculated using the Theil-Sen method using the station’s full period of available data. The availability of surface wind speed trends will vary by station; if more than 5 consecutive years are missing data or more than 10% of the data within the time series is missing, a trend was not calculated.

Data from circa 20-year revisits to historical boreal bird research sites in aspen dominated mixedwoods of Saskatchewan

Data represent relative abundance and species composition of boreal forest birds in 45 aspens dominated mixedwood forest stands in central Saskatchewan, Canada. Surveys were conducted during the dawn chorus (between 04:00 and 09:00 AM) in June of 2014 that were revisits to historic research sites surveyed in June of 1993–1997. Data from a total of 235 locations (mean = 5 per stand; range = 3–10) were surveyed in 2014 compared to 257 (mean = 5 per stand; range = 4–11) in the historic surveys. Data were collected using 10-minute-long unlimited distance point-counts where all birds seen or heard were counted; however, observers only counted birds that were estimated to be within the stand and were not previously recorded on adjacent point-count stations. Two visits were conducted to each survey location within a given year. The included data represents the maximum count for a species across the two-visit which were then summed across all survey locations within a forest stand. Data from the historic (1993-1996) surveys are included. Analyses of these data suggested significant changes in the abundance of eight out of ten species examined. Red-eyed Vireo (Vireo olivaceus), Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Regulus calendula), Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla), Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata), and Chipping Sparrow (Spizella passerina) were all less abundant than during historic surveys, whereas Mourning Warbler (Geothlypis philadelphia), Magnolia Warbler (Setophaga magnolia), and White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis) were more abundant. Further details on the survey methods, data manipulation, analyses and results are detailed in Van Wilgenburg et al. 2017. Avian Conservation and Ecology 13(1):3.

Second Red Bed Structure

These structure, isopach and zero edge files are part of a series of stratigraphic framework maps for the Saskatchewan Phanerozoic Fluids and Petroleum Systems (SPFPS) project.

The series of stratigraphic framework maps for the Saskatchewan Phanerozoic Fluids and Petroleum Systems (SPFPS) project have been produced using 2 km equi-spaced modified grids generated from Golden Software’s Surfer 9 kriging algorithm. The dataset used to produce each of the maps in this series was created using data from several projects completed by the Ministry (Christopher, 2003; Saskatchewan Industry and Resources et al., 2004; Kreis et al., 2004; Marsh and Heinemann, 2006; Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources et al., 2007; Heinemann and Marsh, 2009); these data were validated and edited as required to facilitate correlations between the various regional projects. In addition, to minimize edge effects during contouring, the senior author also generated stratigraphic data from wells in adjacent jurisdictions.

2024 Annual Progress Report – Accessibility Plan for the Department of Justice of Canada

The Department is committed to accountability in the implementation of its Accessibility Plan. Consultation results make it clear that seeing results matters a great deal to persons with disabilities.

Well ahead of drafting this second Annual Report, the Department conducted progress measurement and reporting internally and presented the results to the Advisory Committee on Persons with Disabilities. To measure progress, Justice Canada relies on both objective and subjective metrics tied to the actions and supporting actions in the Accessibility Plan. Conducting progress measurement and reporting internally allowed all parties in the accessibility network across Justice Canada – including persons with disabilities, employees, advisory committee members, planning specialists, employment equity specialists, Pillar Leads, and Chairs and Champions – to participate in the process of making the Department more accessible.

This report presents the progress made in each of the areas of focus under the Accessible Canada Act:

- Employment,
- The Built Environment,
- Information and Communication Technologies,
- Communication (other than Information and Communication Technologies),
- The Procurement of Goods, Services, and Facilities,
- The Design and Delivery of Programs and Services, and
- Transportation.

Air pollutant emissions

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 emissions from human activities of 6 key air pollutants: sulphur oxides (SOX), nitrogen oxides (NOX), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ammonia (NH3), carbon monoxide (CO) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Black carbon, which is a component of PM2.5, produced by combustion, is also reported. Sectoral indicators on air pollutant emissions from the oil and gas industry, transportation, off-road vehicles and mobile equipment and electric utilities provide additional analysis on the largest sources of Canada's air pollutant emissions.
For each air pollutant, the indicators are provided at the national and provincial/territorial levels. They also identify the major sources of emissions and provide links to detailed information on air pollutant emissions from facilities. The Air pollutant emissions indicators are intended to inform Canadians and decision makers about progress made towards reducing emissions from human-related sources of air pollutants and about the effectiveness of emission reduction measures in reducing emissions to improve ambient air quality in Canada. 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 the supplementary documentation for the data sources and details on how the data were collected and how the indicator was calculated.

Payments in Lieu of Taxes Program (PILT) tax year data: Number of applications received and finalized

The Payments in Lieu of Taxes Program is administered by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC). Every year more than $560 million is distributed to approximately 1,100 taxing authorities where property owned by federal departments is situated. Payments made under the Payments in Lieu of Taxes Act are based on the principle of fairness respecting both the taxing authorities and the federal government and are equitable in comparison to those made by other property owners. Payments are calculated on the basis of values and tax rates which would, in the opinion of the Minister of Public Works and Government Services, apply to federal property if it were taxable. The dataset lists PILT tax year data: Number of applications received, Number of payments issued to taxing authorities and Number of applications finalized by March 31st.
