Boundaries developed for use when aggregating cases and reporting during the COVID-19 pandemic in Saskatchewan.The province of Saskatchewan has been divided into six distinct areas for use in reporting the infection rates of COVID-19 during the 2020 outbreak of the virus.

This theme presents observations of invasive exotic species (IAS)transmitted and validated using the Sentinelle tool, an EEE detection system.An invasive exotic species is a plant, animal or microorganism (virus,bacteria or fungi) that are introduced outside of their natural range. Sonestablishment or its spread may pose a threat to the environment,the economy or society. The species listed are species of fauna and floraconcerning (or potentially worrying) for Quebec's biodiversity. Ellesinclude EEE present in Quebec and EEE not listed in Quebec atmonitor.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Data show where pathogens - fungal, bacillial or viral - have caused damage by reducing growth rates, tree vigor or have killed trees. Examples of forest diseases include White Pine Blister Rust, Armillaria Root Rot etc. The Government of Ontario tracks forest damage events to help proactively manage the detrimental effects to our forests. We monitor the threat and spread of invasive forest pest insect species in Ontario. The data is also important to the Forest Management Planning process in calculating timber volume loss within affected areas. This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads, researchers and health professionals have noted large differences in the impact that the infection has on individuals. Whereas some remain asymptomatic and unaware of their infection or experience only mild symptoms, others require hospitalization, ventilation, and may even die. As research evidence accumulates, both nationally and internationally, it appears that certain health characteristics, such as obesity or the presence of chronic conditions, increase the risk of severe outcomes among those who are infected with the novel coronavirus.To better understand which segments of the Canadian population may be vulnerable to severe health outcomes related to COVID-19, Statistics Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada have worked collaboratively to build an index of underlying health conditions in the adult household population. Using information from the 2017/2018 Canadian Community Health Survey, new data tables released today estimate the proportion of the adult household population who may be at greater risk of severe health outcomes related to COVID-19 due to the presence of underlying health conditions.

In 2018, Fisheries and Oceans Canada initiated the Multidisciplinary Arctic Program (MAP) – Last Ice, the first ecosystem study of the poorly characterized region of the Lincoln Sea in the Marine Protected Area of Tuvaijuittuq, where multiyear ice still resides in the Arctic Ocean. MAP-Last Ice takes a coordinated approach to integrate the physical, biochemical, and ecological components of the sea ice-ocean connected ecosystem and its response to climate and ocean forcings. The cross-disciplinary program establishes baseline ecological knowledge for Tuvaijuittuq and, in particular, for its unique multiyear ice ecosystem. The database provides baseline data on the abundance of bacteria and viruses in multi- and first-year ice and in surface waters of the Lincoln Sea in Tuvaijuittuq, and their relation to bio-physical conditions. The data were collected during the 2018 spring field campaign of the MAP-Last Ice Program, at an ice camp offshore of Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Alert.

The West Nile virus (WNV) activity zone corresponds to the territory where WNV cases have been documented by human, animal, and entomological (mosquito) surveillance. This zone indicates where there is a higher probability of the virus being present in Quebec based on historical data. All surveillance data was aggregated to form the WNV's area of activity over the study period, by merging the 2 km resolution buffer zones and the municipalities of each mosquito case or batch. Outside of this area, the presence of WNV remains possible, but the virus has not been detected by surveillance. This can be explained, among other things, by the movements of infected birds and mosquitoes over varying distances.The climatic zone favorable to the transmission of WNV by Culex pipiens (one of the main vectors of the virus) highlights the territory where the estimated seasonal average temperature could be conducive to the transmission of WNV in Quebec. This zone is defined by a seasonal average temperature (calculated from April to September) greater than or equal to 14°C. The indicator was calculated for historical records 1989-2018 (current distribution) and for the horizons of 2030, 2050 and 2080 according to the greenhouse gas emissions scenarios SSP2-4.5 and SSP3-7.0 (future distribution). Seasonal mean temperatures were calculated during the WNV's active period (i.e. April to September) by adding up the daily maximum and minimum temperatures and then dividing them by two. These temperatures were generated with a resolution of 10 km x 10 km covering the whole of Quebec for time horizons and greenhouse gas emission scenarios. The final value for seasonal mean temperatures used is the 50th percentile.For more information on the area of activity of the WNV or the climatic zones favorable to the transmission of WNV by Culex pipiens, you can consult the [Mapping of the current and future distribution of the West Nile virus in Quebec in the context of climate change] (https://www.inspq.qc.ca/publications/3693) OR the INSPQ website [Current and future distribution maps of zoonoses in Quebec] (https://www.inspq.qc.ca/zoonoses/cartes).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) and Quagga Mussel (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) have a long history of invasion in European and North American freshwater ecosystems, with significant ecological and economic impacts. An ecological risk assessment for these two invasive species for freshwater ecosystems in Canada was completed in April 2022 with the aim to provide science-based guidance to inform management decisions and actions. These include early detection, response planning, and/or regulatory and policy measures aimed at mitigating the potential spread and risk posed by Zebra and Quagga Mussels to Canadian freshwater ecosystems (DFO 2023). The Potential for Introduction (propagule pressure and connectivity), the Potential for Establishment (habitat suitability, including a Calcium-based and Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt)-based model), the Potential for Invasion, and the Ecological Impacts were used to derive Ecological Risk for Zebra and Quagga Mussels in Canada. This assessment did not evaluate the risk to individual waterbodies but rather was conducted at a 9,260 m x 9,260 m grid cell resolution. These high resolution maps are provided here. Maps of Ecological Risk at the sub-drainage level are also provided.

The GTC System makes it possible to compile information on land files.contaminated by industrial and commercial activities or by spillsaccidental. This is not an exhaustive inventory, but a compilation of cases brought tothe attention of the Ministry. It also includes information on land that isnow rehabilitated. The thematic layers of contaminated land allowlocate each georeferenced intervention site in the Operations Management Assistance System(SAGO) to which at least one contaminated land sheet is associated.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
