Birds adapted to alpine ecosystems are often sensitive to habitat and climate changes because of their niche specialization. For example, birds that are specialized to breeding in colder alpine conditions may be outcompeted by more generalist species if warmer conditions arise. Yearly data are collected at these sites using audio recorders to determine indices of bird diversity and occupancy trends to inform management.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) conducts biosafety and biosecurity inspections to verify organizations’ compliance with the Human Pathogens and Toxins Act (HPTA), the Human Pathogens and Toxins Regulations (HPTR), and the applicable sections of the Health of Animals Act and Health of Animals Regulations (HAA/HAR).

The inspections allow PHAC to determine if an organization meets the conditions of its
Pathogen and Toxin Licence, as well as to identify deficiencies and provide corrective
measures to prevent serious safety risks.

The Skills and Competencies Taxonomy streamlines the terminology of hundreds of occupational descriptors used in the labour market. Each descriptor is associated with one of the seven main categories (skills, abilities, personal attributes, knowledge, interests, work context and work activities), which are then further divided into sub-categories.

The Taxonomy improves the comparability of concepts and their application throughout occupations and sectors. Its also complements other federal, provincial, and territorial employment programs involving skills identification and utilization, and facilitates a Pan-Canadian dialogue on competencies.

The Skills and Competencies Taxonomy was constructed based on internal products (e.g., Career Handbook, Skills and Knowledge …

Glacier National Park provides important habitat for a wide range of bird species. As the most diverse land vertebrates, birds are an important indicator of ecosystem health. Yearly data are collected at these sites using audio recorders to determine trends in diurnal avian species abundance by species. Data can provide a number of ecological indices such as the effects of land use and climate change.

Health Canada has developed a series of research tools. These tools assess the extent a group of individuals are following Canada’s food guide:

  1. Healthy Eating Food Index
  2. Canadian Food Intake Screener
  3. Canadian Eating Practices Screener

This page provides detailed information on the Healthy Eating Food Index (HEFI). The pdf document entitled "Calculating HEFI scores" describes how to calculate HEFI-2019 scores. The accompanying data files provide the user with the SAS macro and the information to apply the SAS macro.

For more information on the screeners, please see: https://open.canada.ca/data/en/info/4f1c44a6-1ecf-4da7-a1da-058b1ff9ce06

The following standard is used to evaluate Parks Canada Agency’s goal to manage wildland fire and conduct prescribed fire activities to restore and maintain the ecological integrity of park lands. A 20% natural fire cycle is the set percentage that allows fire to play a role as a natural disturbance in ecosystems while being realistic and achievable considering physical and financial constraints, the variability in wildland fire regimes in MRGNP and the need to balance public safety. The 20% long term average was obtained by analysing the variation in area burned in national parks of different sizes, fire regimes and …
