Canada’s landmass is very diversified and comprises 7 distinctive areas called physiographic regions, each of which has its own unique topography and geology. Physiographic regions are large areas that share similar relief and landforms shaped by common geomorphic processes and geological history. Physiographic regions are often used to describe Canada’s geography to show regional differences in climate, vegetation, population and the economy.This dataset collection contains three interrelated datasets mapping the location of Canada’s 7 different physiographic regions, their 21 subregions and many divisions (landforms).

Geographic database containing the result of Statistics Canada's __2016 Census geography harmonization process.__ Harmonization is a process of editing geographic boundaries in order to adjust them spatially to the official geographic base. This work was carried out in 2016 by the Institut de la Statistique du Québec (ISQ) according to the official provincial geographic base. A detailed project report presents in two parts the coherence between the geography of the 2016 census and the geographical code of Quebec, then presents the process of harmonizing this geography. __The content of the resulting database is detailed there (page 22) __, as well as the description of the attributes (pages 27 to 29).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Geographic database containing the result of Statistics Canada's __2021 Census geography harmonization process__. Harmonization is a process of editing geographic boundaries in order to adjust them spatially to the official geographic base. This work was carried out in 2022 by the Institut de la Statistique du Québec (ISQ) according to the official provincial geographic base. A metadata sheet shows the process of harmonizing this geography. __The content of the resulting database is detailed there (page 2), as well as the description of the attributes in the appendix (pages 7 to 11) __.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

A geographic representation of Public Work’s Operational Zones. Operational Zones are a subdivision of Management Area geography (which are a subdivision of District geography). Zones are designed such that each road is assigned to a nearby facility ('base') for service. Facilities usually central within their zone to maximize efficiency.

Points, polylines and polygons where species and features have been found, harvested or detailed.Community Based Coastal Resource Inventory (CCRI) – Fisheries and Oceans Canada in conjunction with several Federal and Provincial agencies created, implemented, and managed a program which set out to develop a coastal resource inventory based on the traditional knowledge of local residents. Through partnerships with the province of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Regional Economic Development (RED) Boards and other community based groups the project assembled a database containing several decade’s worth of local knowledge. The value of the information collected came through individual interviews with people who had extensive knowledge of the immediate geography and resource, having lived, worked and harvested the regions over a lifetime. This project ran from 1996 to 2007.

This is the spatial view used by Mineral Titles Online (MTO) on the mineral, placer and coal viewers. The spatial view combines the polygon information with attribute information for each title. Contains sub-surface title data in British Columbia for: - mineral claims, mining leases, mineral claim applications - placer claims, placer leases, placer claim applications - coal license applications, coal licenses, coal leases

The dataset represents applications for a mining permit. This point dataset is for "regional mines”. Notice of Work (NoW) is the name of the application. Mining activities with disturbance to the ground need approval. Section 10 of the Mines Act issues the authorization or permit. **NOTE**: Administrative amendments to a NoW are not captured in this dataset. We are currently working to include this addition for a more complete view of the data. For proponents, please log into https://minespace.gov.bc.ca/ to confirm any authorizations on your permits. Polygon representation of this dataset can be found here: https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/c728435d-410e-42f9-81d5-95978c90e44a Point locations within this dataset may be: - Approved and permitted NoW applications The application status field identifies the status of the application. Examples include approved, withdrawn, or rejected, to name a few. Clients submit location information with their application. During review and consultation phases of the application, the permitting inspector may adjust the proposed location. Otherwise, this dataset displays the information submitted by the client. Regional mines include: - Exploration — mineral, coal, rock quarry, industrial mineral or dimension stone - Sand and gravel — aggregate, rock or natural substances used for construction purposes - Placer Part 9.1.1 and 10.1.1 of the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia describe the requirements. Clients submit location information with their application. This dataset displays the information submitted by the client. Notice of work categories include type and application status: Type - Coal - Mineral - Placer Operations - Quarry – Construction Aggregate - Quarry – Industrial Mineral - Sand and Gravel Application Status - Approved - Client Delayed - Permit Closed - Pending Approval - Government Action Required - Referred - Rejected - Received - Rejected-Initial - No Permit Required - Referral Complete - Withdrawn For the public view, please be aware that the ministry has removed: - All points with now application status of pending verification. - The attributes of all non-open permits - All non-gold and non-jade/nephrite mine commodities

Ski Resorts is a point dataset identifying the location of ski resorts in British Columbia.

The raster maps depict a suite of forest attributes in 2001* and 2011 at 250 m by 250 m spatial resolution. The maps were produced using the k nearest neighbours method applied to MODIS imagery and trained from National Forest Inventory photo plot data. For detailed information about map production methods please refer to Beaudoin et al. (2018) "Tracking forest attributes across Canada between 2001 and 2011 using the k nearest neighbours mapping approach applied to MODIS imagery." Canadian Journal of Forest Research 48, 85-93. https://cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/publications?id=38979 The map datasets may be downloaded from https://nfi.nfis.org/downloads/nfi_knn2011.zip or https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/ec9e2659-1c29-4ddb-87a2-6aced147a990 * Note: the forest composition (leading tree genus) map depicts forest attributes in 2001.How can this data be used?The resolution and accuracy of these map products are best suited for strategic-level forest reporting and informing policy and decision making at regional to national scales. As these maps also offer a coherent set of quantitative values for a large suite of forest attributes, they can be used as baseline information for modelling and in calculations such as merchantable forest volume or percentage of tree species. It is also possible to overlay these maps with other maps produced on the same pixel grid to make assessments of disturbance impacts, such as fire and harvests.
