The spatial representation for a Public Sustained Yield Unit, which is an area of Crown land, usually a natural topographic unit determined by drainage areas, managed for sustained yield by the Crown through the Ministry of Forests. It includes all Crown lands within the currently established boundaries of the unit and excludes federal lands, provincial parks, experimental forest reserves, gazetted watersheds and tree farm licences. Crown land designated as a public sustained yield unit under Section 6 of the Forest Act. A portion of a TSA

The Ministries and resource developers will want the active sample locations to determine where there are recognized feature conflicts with any resource development

The Remote Communities Energy Database is a public resource that provides pertinent factual information about the generation and use of electricity and other energy sources for all remote communities in Canada. Communities are identified as remote communities if they are not currently connected to the North-American electrical grid nor to the piped natural gas network; and is a permanent or long-term (5 years or more) settlement with at least 10 dwellings.The Remote Communities Energy Database is the only national data source on energy in remote communities that is publically available on one centralized site. The Remote Communities Energy Database allows users to search and conduct analyses of remote communities and their energy context. Users are also able download the data from the Remote Communities Energy Database dataset in CSV (i.e., excel compatible) format. This data is collected from a number of sources including the remote communities themselves, local utilities, provincial and territorial government’s, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), Statistics Canada, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and various other stakeholders.

The dataset was developed to provide geographic guide to better understand the boundaries of the Industrial Heartland - Designated Industrial Zone (IH-DIZ). The IH-DIZ industrial zoned land extends into 5 different municipalities, including: Approx. 533 km2 within the City of Fort Saskatchewan and the Counties of Lamont, Strathcona and Sturgeon. Approx. 49 km2 in the City of Edmonton, which is the industrial area known as the Edmonton Energy and Technology Park.

Locations of Forest Management Branch Permanent Sample Plots.

The Remote Communities Energy Database (RCED) is a tool that aims to collect and show pertinent information about the generation and use of electricity and other energy sources for all remote communities of Canada. This data is collected from a variety sources, including Statistics Canada, Provincial and Territorial Governments, utilities, public reports and communities.The term “remote community” refers to any community not currently connected to the North American electrical grid nor to the piped natural gas network; and which is a permanent or long-term (five years or more) settlement with at least 10 dwellings.Disclaimer: Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) accepts no responsibility or liability for any errors, inaccuracies and/or omissions in the Remote Communities Energy Database (RCED). The content of the RCED is a compilation of data obtained from many sources and the data is subject to change without notice.

644 datasets of Typical Meteorological Years (TMY) created by joining twelve Typical Meteorological Months selected from a database of up to 20 years of CWEEDS hourly data. The months are chosen by statistically comparing individual monthly means with long-term monthly means for daily total global solar irradiance, mean, minimum and maximum dry bulb temperature, mean, minimum and maximum dew point temperature, and mean and maximum wind speed. These hourly datasets are used by the engineering and scientific community mainly as inputs for solar system design and analysis and building energy systems analysis tools. This dataset has been updated with the most recent changes made in March 2023. The solar values in these files are based on 0.1° x 0.1° (11 km x 11 km grid) for all of Canada. Refer to Data Resources below for additional information on the TMY file format.

This layer is the authoritative source for locating Active Status Growth and Yield plots also known as Permanent Sample Plots (PSPs). These plots are protected and require an additional minimum windfirm buffer of 50m radius in the interior and 100m radius on the coast. These plots are generally 16m radius fixed area plots. Therefore, protected areas need to be a minimum of 66m radius around the plot centre in the interior and 116m radius on the coast. Best practices are to locate the plot centre on the ground as coordinate accuracy varies. The program now maintains partially damaged plots in order to provide critical data on how partially damaged plots grow over time. Therefore, salvage logging is NOT permitted within protected plots. Please contact Anya Reid (Anya.Reid@gov.bc.ca) with questions or updated coordinates for plots. NOTE: Accuracy of the coordinates are variable. Coordinates for plots with a more recent (since 2000) last measurement are generally quite accurate (3m). However, plots measured in the 1990's have a wide range of coordinate accuracy. In all cases, it is necessary to ground truth plot location before block layout. In this spatial layer, low accuracy coordinates are buffered 300m to ensure they do not get missed from development planning. This layer replaces the [Growth and Yield Samples – Active Status](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/0ca49478-5d0f-44e8-b6af-3fd6e387803c) layer with more accurate and current information from the Inventory Sample Management Consolidation (ISMC) database.

**NOTE** This dataset is going to be replaced by the Data Catalogue layer: [Forest Inventory Ground Plots - Public Access](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/6d6d115f-4cc2-4141-909e-3344b3a72bcf) This new layer links to the updated database for all Forest Analysis and Inventory Branch ground sample plots. Growth and Yield dataset is a provincial data set that comprised of Permanent Sample Plots (PSP). Researchers such as GY modellers and those wanting to know the position of all samples will use the all status view to better understand the spatial distribution of historic measurement data including samples that are currently destroyed or inactive
