The Planning for an Environmental Response (PIER) initiative falls under the umbrella of the Government of Canada’s Oceans Protection Plan (OPP), whose goal is preserving marine ecosystems vulnerable to increased transportation and the development of the marine industry. The PIERs’ main mandate is to acquire and update biological sensitivity data under its jurisdiction for preparation and response purposes in the event of an oil spill. This dataset contains all observations of marine organisms noted during the analysis of 2959 underwater images sampled over a large extent of the coastal zone (≤10 m) of the Estuary and the Gulf of St. Lawrence (Quebec region). The dataset includes 21 490 occurrences of 150 taxa and informal categories including macroalgae, invertebrates and fish.

The Geological Atlas of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin was designed primarily as a reference volume documenting the subsurface geology of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. This GIS dataset is one of a collection of shapefiles representing part of Chapter 13 of the Atlas, Devonian Wabamun Group of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, Figure 12, Net Pellets Isopach - Upper Stettler Fm. Shapefiles were produced from archived digital files created by the Alberta Geological Survey in the mid-1990s, and edited in 2005-06 to correct, attribute and consolidate the data into single files by feature type and by figure.

"The Glacier Atlas of Canada is a collection of maps produced as part of the Canadian Glacier Inventory Project. This project was initiated as part of Canada's contribution to the International Hydrological Decade (1965 to 1974). Although publication of this map series was suspended in the mid-seventies and gaps remain to be filled for some coverage areas, what has been created for this series thus far should prove useful in some aspects of glacier research. These map plates display glaciers and glacier regions.

Geographic proximity to service centres and population centres is an important determinant of socio-economic and health outcomes. Consequently, it is a relevant dimension in the analysis and delivery of policies and programs. To measure this dimension, Statistics Canada developed an Index of Remoteness of communities. For each populated community (census subdivision), the index is determined by its distance to all the population centres defined by Statistics Canada in a given travel radius, as well as their population size.

This GIS dataset depicts the surficial geology of the NTS map area 84B Northeast (line features). The data are created in ArcInfo format and output for public distribution in Arc export (E00) and shapefile formats.

This data provides the integrated cadastral framework for the specified Canada Land. The cadastral framework consists of active and superseded cadastral parcel, roads, easements, administrative areas, active lines, points and annotations. The cadastral lines form the boundaries of the parcels. COGO attributes are associated to the lines and depict the adjusted framework of the cadastral fabric.

An archive of 2D regional seismic and long period magnetotelluric data collected during 20 years of work under the LITHOPROBE project. Data are primarily onshore and cover widespread regions of Canada. Available data types include raw digital data, processed sections, and images of final sections, as well as auxiliary information required for analysis of the data.

This series includes maps of projected average change in mean temperature (°C) based on CMIP5 multi-model ensemble results for RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 (based on the 50th percentile of the distribution of the CMIP5 ensemble). Maps are provided for three time periods: 2016-2035, 2046-2065 and 2081-2100.

The Quebec Strategy for the Conservation of Drinking Water (the Strategy) was implemented in March 2011 by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MAMH) to respond to commitment 49 of the National Water Policy. This strategy is part of the global context of tightening water policies, an integrated management approach and a sustainable development perspective. It aims to equip municipalities with the necessary tools to make a clear and precise diagnosis of the use of water in each territory according to recognized standards. The current version of the Strategy covers the period 2019-2025. For Québec as a whole, the objectives of the Strategy targeted for the year 2025 are: - a 20% reduction in the amount of water distributed per person compared to 2015; - the achievement of a moderate level of leakage according to the International Water Association index; - a gradual increase in the investments required to achieve the maintaining assets in a sustainable manner while gradually eliminating the maintenance deficit. In addition to these global objectives, objectives adapted to the profile of for each municipality are set. These adapted objectives, presented in the form of a threshold to be achieved, are now specific according to the characteristics and particularities of the municipalities.
