Geospatial data for public transit agencies in Canada, with information on stop locations, route locations, route types, level of service, wheel chair access, bike access, and more.

GO Transit is the regional public transit service for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. For more information regarding GO stations and TTC hubs, please visit [Metrolinx](https://www.metrolinx.com/en). GO Stations and TTC lots can also be viewed on a map, by visiting [Ontario 511](https://511on.ca), and can be found under the "hubs" layer.

This dataset provides the background radiation dose results from Health Canada’s Canadian Radiological Monitoring Network (CRMN) monitoring sites. More information about the CRMN network can be found on the Health Canada website (see link below).This background radiation data contains both “monitoring” and “transit” dosimeters starting in 2016. The historical background radiation dose data can be found on the Open Data portal. A transit dosimeter is sent along with the monitoring dosimeter to determine if there is a significant dose recorded by the dosimeter while it is in transit to the sampling station. The transit dosimeter is shipped out with a station monitor, and shipped back with the station monitor from the previous quarter. The monitoring dosimeters are deployed over a longer time (around three months) than the transit dosimeters (around 3 weeks). This difference largely explains the lower recorded dose values for the transit dosimeter. The results provided for the monitoring and transit dosimeters are expressed as ambient dose equivalent to a cesium source, in units of millisieverts (mSv). The measured dose rate is reported in mSv/day. The external dose can be attributed almost exclusively to natural radiation (of terrestrial and cosmic origin) with fluctuations based on several factors including location, soil characteristics, and seasonal changes. The map shows the approximate sampling location for each monitoring station. Stations are found within the associated location range.

The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2006 identifies 25 existing or emerging downtown areas as Urban Growth Centres. The plan establishes policies and minimum density targets to encourage their revitalization as vibrant, transit-oriented communities. The Province determined the approximate size and location of the urban growth centres. Municipalities then established their precise boundaries in official plans. This product requires the use of GIS software. *[GIS]: geographic information system

The Urban Service Area dataset is comprised of all the polygons that represent Urban Service Areas in Alberta. Urban Service Area is a municipality type defined under the authority of the Municipal Government Act. The formation of an Urban Service Area can occur if there is a large unincorporated community within a Specialized Municipality that is recognized as an equivalent to a City by the Government of Alberta. It has a population, public utility services, and other characteristics.

In the Capital Urban Lands Plan (2015), Land designations identify the desired uses for federal urban lands in relation to the role they play for the Capital in a given location. Each land designation provides policy direction for an ensemble of sites that serve similar functions. https://ncc-ccn.gc.ca/our-plans/capital-urban-lands-planhttps://ncc-website-2.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/Capital-Urban-Lands-plan.pdf#page=45
