Health of People in Canada Dashboard​

In March 2023, the Public Health Agency of Canada launched a new, interactive dashboard that reports on the health of people in Canada. This collection of public health indicators helps us understand areas where we are doing well and where we need to improve. Ultimately, this dashboard provides a snapshot of the health of our population, while illustrating the wide range of health, socio-economic, and environmental factors that interact to keep us healthy and well. People in Canada generally live long and healthy lives, but not everyone has the same opportunity for good health. This dashboard explores the question: how healthy are people in Canada?

Canada Geological Map Compilation

The Canada Geological Map Compilation (CGMC) is a database of previously published bedrock geological maps sourced from provincial, territorial, and other geological survey organizations. The geoscientific information included within these source geological maps wasstandardized, translated to English, and combined to provide complete coverage of Canada and support a range of down-stream machine learning applications. Detailed lithological, mineralogical, metamorphic, lithostratigraphic, and lithodemic information was not previously available as onenational-scale product. The source map data was also enhanced by correcting geometry errors and through the application of a new hierarchical generalized lithology classification scheme to subdivide the original rocks types into 35 classes. Each generalized lithology is associated with asemi-quantitative measure of classification uncertainty. Lithostratigraphic and lithodemic names included within the source maps were matched with the Lexicon of Canadian Geological Names (Weblex) wherever possible and natural language processing was used to transform all of the available text-basedinformation into word tokens. Overlapping map polygons and boundary artifacts across political boundaries were not addressed as part of this study. As a result, the CGMC is a patchwork of overlapping bedrock geological maps with varying scale (1:30,000-1:5,000,000), publication year (1996-2023), andreliability. Preferred geological and geochronological maps of Canada are presented as geospatial rasters based on the best available geoscientific information extracted from these overlapping polygons for each map pixel. New higher resolution geological maps will be added over time to fill datagaps and to update geoscientific information for future applications of the CGMC.

Fish Contaminants Monitoring and Surveillance Data

The Fish Contaminants Monitoring Program (FCMP) was initiated in 1976. The objective is to collect a variety of biological samples in freshwater environments for the purpose of determining ecosystem contaminant levels. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) collects biological samples from a number of lakes and rivers across Canada in support of federally mandated programs. ECCC has collected fish and invertebrates from the Great Lakes since 1976 in support of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA). More recently, samples have been collected nationally to support Canada's Chemicals Management Plan and the Clean Air Regulatory Agenda. ECCC also maintains a specimen bank of frozen tissues which is a requirement of the GLWQA and is an integral part of departmental monitoring and research programs. The National Aquatic Biological Specimen Bank (NABSB) is located in a dedicated facility at the Canada Centre for Inland Waters in Burlington, Ontario. 
The primary indicator species for the FCMP are top predator fish such as Lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), and walleye (Sander vitreus) which integrate contaminants in the pelagic ecosystem over space and time. In the Great Lakes, forage fish and other components of the aquatic profundal foodweb such as Mysis are also collected to help characterize contaminant flow in the foodweb. Whole specimens are homogenized, including gut contents, and stored at -80 °C under controlled conditions. Specimens are analyzed for chemicals of concern under the GLWQA and the CMP (trace metals, PCBs, PBDEs, PFAS ect). In addition, we collect biological data on the fish including sex, age, size and stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon where possible. 
All specimens received and/or collected are registered and assigned with successive and unique identification numbers (CSP number). A secure relational database maintains all biological data (length, age, etc.) associated with each specimen number as well as data with regard to location, collection methods, storage and the results of all chemical analyses that have been performed on the specimen. 

Tissue samples from the NABSB are available for collaborative research projects. The release of specimens for research purposes will adhere to ECCC’s policy which follows these general principles:
•	The research proposed has been reviewed for scientific merit
•	There is sufficient tissue to issue without unduly depleting the total specimen. If a request would exhaust the remaining tissue then the rationale for issuing it will be stringent
•	Other means of obtaining the information have been explored and are not possible
•	Co-authorship will be given on resulting publications along with acknowledgement of the NABSB
For more information on the process to initiate a request for samples and/or data from the NABSB please contact Tana.McDaniel@ec.gc.ca

Guidance for the Use of the Criteria for Ecological Corridors in Canada

Parks Canada’s National Program for Ecological Corridors was initiated to strengthen the network of protected areas across Canada through the creation of ecological corridors. To achieve this goal, Parks Canada sought out to develop tools for a common approach on corridor creation and management. 

The Criteria for Ecological Corridors in Canada provide a common approach to ensure ecological corridors are managed and stewarded to maintain or restore effective ecological connectivity, while upholding Indigenous stewardship values. They are derived from the internationally recognized International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Guidelines on Connectivity and adapted to the Canadian context. More details and context about the Criteria and the National Program for Ecological Corridors are available on the Program’s webpage (https://parks.canada.ca/nature/science/conservation/corridors-ecologiques-ecological-corridors).

This guide provides supplemental information to support individuals and organizations leading or involved in ecological corridor initiatives in Canada in using the Criteria for Ecological Corridors in Canada.

Current Knowledge on Economic Impacts of Correctional Programs

Correctional programming within the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is intended to reduce criminogenic risk factors via evidence-based interventions, with the underlying goal of reducing recidivism and promoting public safety. CSC’s suite of interventions is based on the “Risk-Needs-Responsivity” model, whereby the level of intervention corresponds with level of risk, programs address criminogenic risk factors, and delivery of programming is tailored to the characteristics and needs of the offender (Andrews et al., 2011; CSC, 2021).
