Hydro Features is composed of the network of Canadian surface waters. Hydro Features entities are: Watercourse, Water Linear Flow, Hydro Obstacle (falls, rapids\...), Waterbody (lake, watercourse\...), Permanent Snow and Ice, Water Well, and Spring. CanVec is a digital cartographic reference product of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). It originates from the best available data sources covering Canadian territory, offers quality topographical information in vector format, and complies with international geomatics standards. CanVec is a multi-source product coming mainly from the National Topographic Data Base (NTDB), the Mapping the North process conducted by the Canada Center for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO), the Atlas of Canada data, the GeoBase initiative, and the data update using satellite imagery coverage (e.g. Landsat 7, Spot, Radarsat, etc.).Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps) .

Manual snow survey (active & inactive) locations as part of the BC Snow Survey program.

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

This catalog contains annual 30 m spatial resolution snow dynamics metrics for each snow-year from 2018-2019 to 2023-2024 for all of Canada. We gather all Landsat and Sentinel-2 images collected over Canada and identify the status of each pixel observation on the image collection date: snow (and ice), non-snow (i.e., land, water), unclear (i.e., clouds, shadows). We built an algorithm to calculate snow cover metrics for each pixel during each winter: start date of the first (and biggest) snow period [startF, startB], end date of the last (and biggest) snow period [endL, endB], number of days with snow cover in total (or in the biggest snow period) [lengthT, lengthB], number of snow periods (i.e., separated times with multiple confirmed snow observations) [periods], and a status classification (e.g., continuous snow, snow free) [status]. We do not obtain a clear observation every day because of satellite orbit frequencies and clouds. This means that timing-based metrics are identified by the middle date between two clear observations, with uncertainty quantified as half the length of the gap (i.e., ± days) [startF_u, startB_u, endL_u, endB_u, lengthT_u, lengthB_u].

Determines the location of Coal Titles within the Province of British Columbia. It is established under the authority of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Grid Regulation. It is defined by a set of UTM coordinates which approximate NAD 27 latitude and longitude positions. Units are the finest level of the Coal Grid. They are defined by UTM coordinates for their corners and the mid points of the four sides. A unit is the base building block for creating the Coal Grid. In a block there are 100 units, 10 rows by 10 columns, and numbered consecutively, starting in the southeast corner. The units are numbered 1 to 10, 11 - 20 etc. always reading from right to left.

The GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), or satellite positioning system, includes all satellite navigation systems. It allows you to know your location, anywhere in the country.Theoretical GNSS specifications estimate the accuracy of the position obtained from a receiver to be approximately 15 meters in planimetry and 25 meters in altimetry. By combining the data with that of another receiver placed on a known geodesic point, the accuracy of the obtained position can vary from a few centimeters to a few meters, depending on the type of receiver used.In order to increase accuracy, the Government of Quebec records data continuously through a network of 18 GNSS stations. These stations are located on geodetic points that are free of any obstacles and capture data from the GPS and GLONASS constellations. Some of these stations receive signals from the Galileo constellation.This data is available in the standard exchange format*Receiver Independent Exchange Format* (RINEX), version 2.11. This format is recognized by the majority of GNSS data processing software.The data is accessible on the __ [ftp server] (ftp://ftp.mrn.gouv.qc.ca/Public/GPS)__) of the MRNF or using the __ [Interactive Map] (https://geodesie.portailcartographique.gouv.qc.ca/)__) of the geodetic network. It should be noted that only data from the last 366 days is kept.The structure of the directories and files on the __ [ftp server] (ftp://ftp.mrn.gouv.qc.ca/Public/GPS)__) as well as the coordinates of the stations are presented in the document __ [GNSS sensor stations] (https://diffusion.mern.gouv.qc.ca/diffusion/RGQ/Documentation/Geodesie/Stations_GNSS.pdf)__.# #État GNSS stations##You can consult the status of the stations in the document __ [Status of GNSS stations] (https://diffusion.mern.gouv.qc.ca/diffusion/RGQ/Documentation/Geodesie/État_Stations_GNSS.pdf)__. You will be notified if a station is in service, out of service, or if equipment maintenance is planned.# #GNSS in real time by cell phoneThe government also offers GNSS data by cellular telephone, which allows centimetric positioning work to be carried out in real time. Users of georeferenced data can thus, with a single multi-frequency GNSS receiver equipped with a modem by cellular telephone, identify or implement any physical detail with an accuracy of a few centimeters in the NAD 83 reference system (SCRS) (period 1997.0).The signal that contains this data is available to everyone. The range depends on telephone coverage, ionospheric conditions and especially on the instruments used. For more information on using GNSS in real time, see document __ [Guidelines for GNSS RTK/RTN Surveys in Canada] (http://publications.gc.ca/site/fra/9.822883/publication.html)__.# #Détails techniquesThe transmission of GNSS data as well as the station's NAD 83 (SCRS) coordinates (period 1997.0) is transmitted by cellular telephony from an IP address on the Internet. Each station transmits its data in one of the following two formats: CMR+ or RTCM V3.2. The document __ [GNSS capture stations] (https://diffusion.mern.gouv.qc.ca/diffusion/RGQ/Documentation/Geodesie/Stations_GNSS.pdf)__) gives for each city the IP address of the CMR+ or RTCM V3.2 formats as well as the antenna model. It should be noted that the data is not broadcast according to the*Networked Transport of RTCM protocol via Internet Protocol* (NTRIP).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The National Hydro Network (NHN) focuses on providing a quality geometric description and a set of basic attributes describing Canada's inland surface waters. It provides geospatial digital data compliant with the NHN Standard such as lakes, reservoirs, watercourses (rivers and streams), canals, islands, drainage linear network, toponyms or geographical names, constructions and obstacles related to surface waters, etc. The best available federal and provincial data are used for its production, which is done jointly by the federal and interested provincial and territorial partners. The NHN is created from existing data at the 1:50 000 scale or better. The NHN data have a great potential for analysis, cartographic representation and display and will serve as base data in many applications. The NHN Work Unit Limits were created based on Water Survey of Canada Sub-Sub-Drainage Area.

The grid system used in Mineral Titles Online (MTO). This grid is used to determine the location of mineral and placer cell titles in B.C. The grid is designed based on the Mineral Title Online Grid Regulation. The mineral-placer grid does not show current cell availability status. The dataset is very large and cannot be downloaded for the entire province. Try selecting specific mapsheet grids or selecting by an area of interest to download in sections.
