Polygons of the boundaries of commercial development corporations (SDC) present on the territory of the City of Montreal. [Business Development Companies (SDC)] (https://montreal.ca/sujets/societes-de-developpement-commercial) are non-profit organizations that contribute to economic development and the development of commercial arteries in a given area. An SDC brings together shops, service companies and professional offices in a specific territory. The City of Montreal has 26 SDCs spread across its territory. All businesses located in the district of an SDC are automatically members of the SDC. A contribution is mandatory according to the budget adopted by the SDC annually. This contribution ensures the maintenance of the SDC, which can in turn organize activities, events and carry out projects aimed, in particular, at social, cultural and economic development.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

ECO - Business and economic (economy) Economic activities or employment. For example, resources describing labor; revenue; commerce; industry; tourism and ecotourism; forestry; fisheries; commercial or subsistence hunting; and exploration and exploitation of resources, such as minerals, oil, and gas.

The consolidation and enhancement of the commercial centers indicated in __map 4 — Concentrations of commercial establishments __, as well as the commercial activity of streets, axes and shopping centers should be preferred.In addition, the economic clusters represented on __map 8 — Economic clusters of the agglomeration of Montreal__ is a particularity of the Montreal region. These clusters total important employment pools and have the potential for growth and wealth creation.The data available in this set come from sections 2.1 and 2.2 of the Land Use and Development Plan of the Agglomération de Montréal.This urban planning and development plan for the agglomeration of Montreal outlines the main parameters that will guide the Montreal agglomeration council in decisions relating to land use planning in the coming years. From a perspective of sustainable development, this document guides decisions that shape the territory in order to promote compact and greener neighborhoods, to increase public and active transport travel, to support the economic dynamism of the agglomeration and to highlight areas of interest.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Regional Economic Development Board Zone Boundaries of Newfoundland and Labrador. In 2012, the Regional Economic Development Boards were disbanded so this boundary file is intended for administrative and reference purposes.

The RVI/CVI database is derived from the CanEcumene 3.0 GDB (Eddy, et. al. 2023) using a selection of socio-economic variables identified in Eddy and Dort (2011) that aim to capture the overall state of socio-economic conditions of communities as ‘human habitats’. This dataset was developed primarily for application in mapping socio-economic conditions of communities and regions for environmental and natural resource management, climate change adaptation, Impact Assessments (IAs) and Regional Assessments (RAs), and Cumulative Effects Assessment (CEA).The RVI/CVI is comprised of five sub-indicators: 1) population change, 2) age structure, 3) education levels, 4) employment levels, and 5) real estate values. Index values are based on percentile ranks of each sub-indicator, and averaged for each community, and for three ranked groups: 1) all of Canada, 2) by province, and 3) by population size. The data covers the Census periods of 2001, 2006, 2011 (NHS), 2016, and 2021.The index is mapped in two ways: 1) as ‘points’ for individual communities (CVI), and 2) as ‘rasters’ for spatial interpolation of point data (RVI). These formats provide an alternative spatial framework to conventional StatsCan CSD framework. (For more information on this approach see Eddy, et. al. 2020).============================================================================================Eddy, B.G., Muggridge, M., LeBlanc, R., Osmond, J., Kean, C., and Boyd, E. 2023.
