Boundary File of Nova Scotia’s Self-contained Labour Areas (2016)

A geographic shape file of Nova Scotia’s Functional Economic Regions. The most widely accepted approach to identifying functional economic regions is based on self-contained labour areas (SLAs) - a group of two or more Census Subdivisions (CSDs) where at least 75% of the workers both live and work in the area. Using Census data, Statistics Canada has identified Census Subdivisions (CSDs) that can be grouped together into SLAs based on daily commuting flows. Department of Business has mapped these areas and created a GIS shape file that is intended to represent Nova Scotia’s functional economic regions.

Data is provided by Manitoba Wildlife and Fisheries Branch, Swan Valley Sport Fishing and Manitoba Watershed Districts. For additional information visit Manitoba Fisheries. The dataset includes the following fields (Alias (Name): Description) Waterbody ID (WATERBODY_ID): Unique identifier for an individual waterbody. Waterbody Name (WATERBODY_NAME): Name of the waterbody that was stocked. Fishing Division (FISHING_DIVISION): Indicates which fishing division the waterbody is located in and where stocking event took place. Year (YEAR): Year of the stocking event. Date (DATE): Date of the stocking event. Species (SPECIES): Species that was stocked. Size (SIZE): Size of the fish that were stocked. Quantity (QUANTITY): Approximate number of fish stocked.

National Public Alerting System – Implementation Summary

The CRTC requires that applicable wireless service providers, cable/satellite/internet protocol television providers, and radio and television broadcasters, collectively known as last-mile distributors (LMD) participate in the National Public Alerting System (NPAS). The CRTC is responsible for enforcing the regulations and regulatory policies that require LMDs to distribute emergency alerts. Consequently, the Commission has identified the implementation of NPAS as one of the key criteria used to assess and report on the industry's annual compliance to its NPAS requirements. This data set summarizes LMD participation in the public alerting system, as well as the number of staff investigations initiated with respect to resolving matters of NPAS compliance of LMDs.

Assessing fuel structure in hurricane-impacted stands on the north shore of Prince Edward Island, Canada

We present a dataset of measurements and observations of combustible live and dead vegetation (also known as fuel structure) in eight stands impacted by hurricanes along the north shore of Prince Edward Island, Canada. We collected fuel structure data by applying the Next-Generation Fuels sampling protocol associated with the Next-Generation Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System. The main application for this database is to permit the comparison of fuel structure across the different stands. Additional applications include estimating potential fire behaviour under specific fire-weather conditions and informing local to national fuel type mapping when combined with remote sensing products.
