The Town dataset is comprised of all the polygons that represent Towns in Alberta. Town is a municipality type defined under the authority of the Municipal Government Act. The formation of a Town can occur if a majority of buildings are on parcels of land smaller than 1850 square metres and there is a population of 1000 or more.

The City dataset is comprised of all the polygons that represent Cities in Alberta. City is a municipality type defined under the authority of the Municipal Government Act. The formation of a City can occur when a majority of the buildings are on parcels of land smaller than 1850 square meters and there is a population of 10 000 or more.

General information on the location of towns and villages (settlement areas) in the countryside areas protected by Greenbelt plan. For precise boundaries and locations of settlement areas, the appropriate municipality should be consulted.

Current conditions and forecasts for selected Canadian cities. Raw XML data are used to generate each city page on the Environment Canada web site https://www.weather.gc.ca/.

Built-Up Areas are man-made land cover features, ranging from small hamlets at rural cross roads to large cities. This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

Yukon Community points were derived from the CSW_BASE.PLACE_PT_1M data that originally came from the 1:1,000,000 scale Digital Chart of the World dataset. It is derived based on Major Cities and Communities in the Yukon.Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps) .

Anomalous weather resulting in Temperature and Precipitation extremes occurs almost every day somewhere in Canada. For the purpose of identifying and tabulating daily extremes of record for temperature, precipitation and snowfall, the Meteorological Service of Canada has threaded or put together data from closely related stations to compile a long time series of data for about 750 locations in Canada to monitor for record-breaking weather. Virtual Climate stations correspond with the city pages of weather.gc.ca. This data provides the daily extremes of record for Temperature for each day of the year. Daily elements include: High Maximum, Low Maximum, High Minimum, Low Minimum.

The Canada Basemap Transportation (CBMT) is a raster tile service that provides spatial reference context with an emphasis on transportation networks across Canada. It is designed especially for use as a background layer in a web mapping application or geographic information system (GIS). Access: Access is free of charge under the terms of the Open Government Licence - Canada.Data Sources: Data for the CBMT is sourced from the following datasets:- Topographic data of Canada – CanVec Series- Official names from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGNDB).Projections:- Data is provided in the EPSG:3978 (NAD83 Canada Atlas Lambert) projected coordinate system.- Data is provided in the EPSG:3857 (WGS84 Pseudo-Mercator) projected coordinate system.Geographic Coverage: - The CBMT in the EPSG:3857 has complete coverage of the world, with full datasets in Canada and only partial data in other parts of the world including boundaries, Country Names, and major cities.- The CBMT in the EPSG:3978 covers the entire geographic area of Canada and some major transportation routes and cities in the northern States of the USA.Additional Versions: - The CBMT is available as a dynamic service (WMS) or a tiled service (ESRI REST and WMTS). - A geometry-only version (CBMT GEOM) and a text-only version (CBMT TXT) are available. - French versions of the basemap are accessible via the Carte de base du Canada - Transport (CBCT).
