The DND Military Base dataset is comprised of all the polygons that represent the Military Bases established for the Department of National Defence, Government of Canada, within the Province of Alberta. A Military Base is an area owned by the Department of National Defence, Government of Canada where various military activities occur.

This dataset includes all MPMO projects at various stages in the review process, including those that are currently undergoing review and those that have completed a review.

The Ontario Hydro Network (OHN) is a provincial medium scale originating from data with regional scales of 1: 10,000 in Southern Ontario, 1: 20,000 in Northern Ontario and 1: 50,000 in the Far North. The shoreline is taken from the OHN - Waterbody data class. This data is used for cartographic purposes and web mapping services. This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

Ministry of Transportation Regional Boundary is an exclusive geographic area within the province that the Ministry organizational unit is responsible for. Each Ministry Region is partitioned into one or more non-overlapping Ministry Districts that cover the entire Ministry Region

The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a global, satellite-based and terrestrial-based ship tracking system that uses shipborne equipment to remotely track vessel identification and positional information and is typically required on vessels of 300 gross tonnage or more on an international voyage, of 500 gross tonnage or more not on an international voyage, and passenger ships of all sizes. AIS tracking technologies are primarily used in support of real-time maritime domain awareness and for maritime security and safety of life at sea. This report describes a geographic information system (GIS) analysis of 2019 AIS data to produce yearly and monthly vessel density maps of all vessel classes combined and yearly density maps of each vessel class. The year 2019 was selected to portray shipping densities in a pre-COVID 19 pandemic depiction of the maritime transport sector in the Northwest Atlantic. Vessel density map applications include use in spatial analysis and decision support for marine spatial planning.In 2023 the process was applied to the years 2013 through to 2022 and were made available using the same processes that were applied to the original 2019 datasets.

This polygonal dataset represents authorized applications for a Mines Act permit known as a Permitted Mine Area (PMA). This dataset can be used in combination with the NoW point dataset which represents both applications for a Mines Act permit and issued authorizations for mining activities proposed in the application. **The regional mine PMA dataset is not complete for all mine sites in BC. Review the data quality section for more information** Point representation of NoW: https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/fab53209-63be-4c61-8de4-3e3fceec4227 Applications for regional Mines Act permits are known as Notice of Work (NoW) applications. Regional mine permits are issued for mineral and coal exploration activities, sand and gravel production, quarry production, and placer mining. Major mine permits are issued for producing mineral and coal mines. Permits are issued by the chief permitting officer under section 10 of the Mines Act and administered by the ministry. **Regional mines include:** * Exploration — mineral, coal, rock quarry, industrial mineral or dimension stone * Sand and gravel — aggregate, rock or natural substances used for construction purposes * Placer   Most exploration and development activities require a permit under the Mines Act. A decision marks the end of the permitting process for a NoW application. The decision can either be to reject the application or to authorize the mining activities proposed in the NoW. * For new NoW authorizations, a Mines Act permit is issued * For an existing open Mines Act permit, the newly authorized mining activities are amended to the existing permit and the permit is re-issued   Notice of Work categories include: Notice of Work application type, Notice of Work application status. **Notice of Work application type** Field: NOW_APPLICATION_TYPE_DESC (NW_APPTYPD) * Coal * Mineral * Placer Operations * Quarry – Construction Aggregate * Quarry – Industrial Mineral * Sand and Gravel   **Notice of Work application status** Field: NOW_APPLICATION_STATUS_DESC (NW_APPSTAD) * Approved – mining activities in the NoW application have been authorized   **For the public view, please be aware that the ministry:** * Removed the attribute value of closed permits in the PERMIT_STATUS_CODE_DESC (PMT_STD) field. These records will show as permit status is NULL (empty). * Only shows mine commodities of gold or jade/nephrite in the MINE_COMMODITY_DESC (MN_COMD) field. All other commodity values remain NULL (empty)

The MSDI Surface Current Web Service is a dynamic national dataset offering full coverage of surface current visualization in Canadian waters. The service has been developed and managed by the Canadian Hydrographic Service in collaboration with Environment and Climate Change Canada. As with all MSDI products, this service is strictly NOT FOR NAVIGATION. This data is best viewed by software that supports time-aware map services.

This data layer comes from information recorded to the Operations Directorate of the Ministry of Public Security (MSP) during winter heat or spring flooding. The compilation was carried out using digital documents, papers, event reports or situation reports.The database also contains field observations made by municipal stakeholders grouped into river monitoring committees. These committees are set up and coordinated by the regional directorates of the MSP.Field observation is the collection of qualitative or quantitative data on the state of the river at a specific time. The level of the river can, when the situation applies, be measured using a limnimetric scale or evaluated using a geographic coordinate system as well as its trend (increasing, stable, or decreasing). General information characterizing the ice cover may also be recorded by the observer.The information in the database is consistent with the Canadian Common Alert Protocol Profile (PC-PAC). The PC-PAC is a set of rules and controlled values that support the translation and composition of a message to facilitate its sending by different means and from different sources.The PC-PAC formats used are as follows:SEVERITY LEVELThe severity level of the event based on the harm to life of persons or damage to property. The severity of observations on past events can therefore be estimated from the consequences recorded at the time of the events. For field observations by river committees, the degree of severity is generally estimated directly by the observer.The definitions are as follows:Extreme: Extraordinary threat to life or property.Significant: a significant threat to life or property.Moderate: possible threat to life or property.Minor: low threat to life or property.Normal: there is no threat to life or property.Unknown: severity unknown.EMERGENCYThe emergency level is determined based on the reactive measures that need to be taken in response to the current situation.The definitions are as follows:Immediate: reactive action must be taken immediately.Expected: Reactive action should be taken soon (within the next hour).Future: reactive action needs to be taken in the near future.Past: reactive action is no longer necessary.Unknown: emergency unknown.STATEThe state refers to the context of the observation, real or simulated.Current: information about a real event or situation.Purpose: To obtain an overall picture of the situation concerning ice jam flooding problems in order to estimate the risk of flooding along river sections subject to this problem.Geographically locate the ice jams listed on Quebec waterways.Characterize each case listed according to the severity level as defined in the PC-CAP common alert protocol.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The City of Montreal's Road Infrastructure Department (SIRR) is responsible for managing and maintaining restraint systems on its territory. Knowledge of the inventory of these assets is an important basic element in the process of identifying needs and planning interventions. As a result, the SIRR has developed an inventory of these assets on [the City's administrative arterial network (RAAV)] (https://donnees.montreal.ca/dataset/reseau-arteriel-administratif).Restraints under this mandate include crash barriers and impact mitigators. These assets are identified throughout the arterial network (RAAV) of the 19 boroughs of the City of Montreal. **This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
