What? An aerial wildlife population survey is used in Cape Breton Highlands National Park to estimate moose (Alces alces) population density. When? Monitoring frequency for this measure occurs every two to three years.

The raster maps depict a suite of forest attributes in 2001* and 2011 at 250 m by 250 m spatial resolution. The maps were produced using the k nearest neighbours method applied to MODIS imagery and trained from National Forest Inventory photo plot data. For detailed information about map production methods please refer to Beaudoin et al. (2018) "Tracking forest attributes across Canada between 2001 and 2011 using the k nearest neighbours mapping approach applied to MODIS imagery."

Under Section 8 of the Missing Persons Act, 2018, police services are required to report annually on their use of urgent demands for records under the Act and the Ministry of the Solicitor General is required to make the OPP’s annual report data publicly available. The data includes: * year in which the urgent demands were reported * category of records * description of records accessed under each category * total number of times each category of records was demanded * total number of missing persons investigations which had urgent demands for records * total number of urgent demands for records made by OPP in a year

"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.

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 airborne or shipborne geophysical survey recorded the following parameters: Total Field Magnetic, Radiometric. The flight line spacing is 5000 m. The survey was flown between 1977-07-09 and 1977-07-27. The data were Digitally acquired. Platform: Fixed-wing.

This product provides large scale mapping (i.e. 1:1 000 to 1:5 000) of Canada Lands located in Quebec. It contains topographic information including utilities, land cover, occupational limits and administrative boundaries, contours, hydrography, building and transportation features. The mapping information is derived from high resolution aerial photography or large scale aerial photographs.

This airborne or shipborne geophysical survey recorded the following parameters: Total Field Magnetic. The flight line spacing is 1000 m. The survey was flown between 1985-01-01 and 1985-12-31. The data were Digitally acquired. Platform: Fixed-wing.

Health Canada has notified Syngenta Seeds Canada Inc. that it has no objection to the sale of food derived from Insect Resistant Maize 5307. The Department conducted a comprehensive assessment of this corn event according to its Guidelines for the Safety Assessment of Novel Foods.

Polygons denoting concentrations of sea pens, small and large gorgonian corals and sponges on the east coast of Canada have been identified through spatial analysis of research vessel survey by-catch data following an approach used by the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) in the Regulatory Area (NRA) on Flemish Cap and southeast Grand Banks. Kernel density analysis was used to identify high concentrations and the area occupied by successive catch weight thresholds was used to identify aggregations. These analyses were performed for each of the five biogeographic zones of eastern Canada. The largest sea pen fields were found in the Laurentian Channel as it cuts through the Gulf of St. Lawrence, while large gorgonian coral forests were found in the Eastern Arctic and on the northern Labrador continental slope.
