The following dataset contains a list of all publicly funded universities and the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) campuses across the Province including mailing addresses and geographic coordinates.

The Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) is an aquatic biomonitoring program for assessing the health of fresh water ecosystems in Canada. Benthic macroinvertebrates are collected at a site location and their counts are used as an indicator of the health of that water body. CABIN is based on the network of networks approach that promotes inter-agency collaboration and data-sharing to achieve consistent and comparable reporting on fresh water quality and aquatic ecosystem conditions in Canada. The program is maintained by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to support the collection, assessment, reporting and distribution of biological monitoring information. A set of nationally standardized CABIN protocols are used for field collection, laboratory work, and analysis of biological monitoring data. A training program is available to certify participants in the standard protocols. There are two types of sites in the CABIN database (reference and test). Reference sites represent habitats that are closest to “natural” before any human impact. The data from reference sites are used to create reference models that CABIN partners use to evaluate their test sites in an approach known as the Reference Condition Approach (RCA). Using the RCA models, CABIN partners match their test sites to groups of reference sites on similar habitats and compare the observed macroinvertebrate communities. The extent of the differences between the test site communities and the reference site communities allows CABIN partners to estimate the severity of the impacts at those locations. CABIN samples have been collected since 1987 and are organized in the database by study (partner project). The data is delineated by the 11 major drainage areas (MDA) found in Canada and each one has a corresponding study, habitat and benthic invertebrate data file. Links to auxiliary water quality data are provided when available. Visits may be conducted at the same location over time with repeat site visits being identified by identical study name / site code with different dates. All data collected by the federal government is available on Open Data and more partners are adding their data continually. The csv files are updated monthly. Contact the CABIN study authority to request permission to access non open data.

A tribal council is a grouping of First Nations with common interests who voluntarily joined together to provide services to member First Nations.The tribal council geographic location dataset contains the geographic location of all tribal councils in Canada as points as well as basic attributes data. Each tribal council point represents its address as it is registered in Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) Indian Government Support System (IGSS). A connection with the IGSS is in place to ensure that any update to the system is reflected in the attributes data associated with the geography of each tribal council. This dataset is Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) and Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC) official source for Tribal Councils geographic location on maps.

Dataset provides location information on approved CAEC testing locations in Nova Scotia by providing the campus, street address, city/town and geographic co-ordinates of testing sites.

The NADC Area dataset is a polygon that represents the designated area of the Northern Alberta Development Council. a council established on March 29, 1963 by an Act of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. The Council is mandated 'to investigate, monitor, evaluate, plan and promote practical measures to foster and advance general development in northern Alberta and to advise to Government accordingly' (Northern Alberta Development Council Act, 2000)

Geographical information for the head offices of Community Care Access Centres (CCACs). The CCACs are the local organizations established by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to give people access to government-funded home and community services and long-term care homes. They also provide information about and connect people to local community support service agencies to arrange services. The geographical information includes: * organization name * city * address * postal code *[CCACs]: Community Care Access Centres This dataset is no longer collected and as such will no longer be updated. The information provided here references the last collection.

The NSCAF Community Boundaries dataset includes the boundary for each Nova Scotia civic community. These boundaries were defined in consultation with Nova Scotia municipalities with input from municipal councilors, Emergency Health Services (Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness), local fire and police departments, among others.

The AVHRR monthly composite time series of Canada at 1 km resolution is a long-term satellite record produced by the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) from imagery acquired by the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensors aboard the NOAA-9, NOAA-11, NOAA-14, NOAA-16, NOAA-17, NOAA-18, and NOAA-19 satellites. The dataset provides monthly composite imagery covering the period from January 1985 to December 2013 (1985-01-21 to 2013-12-21), offering a consistent multi-decadal record for monitoring Canada's terrestrial environment. The monthly products are derived from the original 10-day AVHRR composite time series to provide a uniform temporal record suitable for long-term environmental monitoring. Each monthly image is provided as a three-band, 8-bit RGB Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) with a spatial resolution of 1 km (R: NDVI; G: NIR (0.725–1.10 µm); B: Visible red (0.58–0.68 µm)). This false-colour composite enhances the visualization of vegetation condition, water bodies, snow and ice, and other land surface features. The imagery has undergone geolocation, radiometric calibration, cloud screening, atmospheric correction, and bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) normalization to produce a spatially and temporally consistent dataset suitable for land cover mapping, vegetation monitoring, environmental assessment, and climate change studies. **This third party metadata element follows the Spatio Temporal Asset Catalog (STAC) specification.**
