This dataset contains spatial indices of environmental and social sensitivities for natural resources development for all of Canada. Both model result rasters (index maps) and input factors (weighted indices) are included along with point file locations of mineral, forestry, renewable energy, and future major projects.

The RFI identifies areas of land and water encircling a recreation feature or combination of features that support, or have the potential to support, one or more recreation activities. These areas are rated for their significance or importance to recreation and for their sensitivity to alteration

**PLEASE NOTE:** The Environmental Monitoring System will be replaced by the EnMoDS system on March 5th, 2026. The EMS results objects will not contain new data after Feb 26th, 2026. For recent data please refer to [EnMoDS spatial locations and location groups](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/f60fa4b5-e3d0-44ad-b5d8-778d29764e34). Environmental Monitoring Stations (EMS) spatial points coverage for the Province by LOCATION TYPES. The following spatial layers reference this as a data source: 1. Environmental Monitoring - All Stations 2. Environmental Monitoring Stations - Air Monitoring (Ambient Air Site) 3. Environmental Monitoring Stations - Air Monitoring (Air Permit) 4. Environmental Monitoring Stations - Water Sites (Water Monitoring) 5. Environmental Monitoring Stations - Water Sites (Water Permits) 6. Environmental Monitoring Stations - Water Sites (Well) 7. Environmental Monitoring Stations - Water Sites (Observation Well) 8. Environmental Monitoring Stations - Water Sites (Spring)

The VLI identifies and delineates areas of visual sensitivity near communities and along travel corridors throughout the province. It includes information about the visual condition, characteristics and sensitivity to alteration. It also houses scenic area and established Visual Quality Objective ( VQO ) attributes.

Environmental Monitoring Program data for aquaculture.

Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act (YESAA) Assessment District boundaries. This data set was created at a scale of 1:250,000 from metes and bounds provided in the "MINISTERIAL ORDER ESTABLISHING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT BOUNDARIES PURSUANT TO SECTION 20(1) OF THE YUKON ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT ACT".Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps) .

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) is publishing a database with environmental monitoring results collected as part of the Eastern Athabasca Regional Monitoring Program. The samples are collected near communities located in northern Saskatchewan.

The spatial representation for Environment Regions. An Environment Region is an administrative area established by the Ministry and is an administrative area which is used to manage regional activites.

The dataset contains projects that are currently, or have been, subject to environmental assessment review. Attributes include the project description, project phase, decision, and proponent name. This layer consists of points themed two ways: a. Project Phase- This theme consists of layers showing what phase each project is in - pre-EA, application review, post-decision, and withdrawn or terminated; and b. Project Type - This theme consists of nine layers that reflect the potential types of projects under review. This dataset is coming from the EAO Project Information Centre (EPIC) and is updated daily. For more information on any of the project points go to https://projects.eao.gov.bc.ca/.
