Contract History is information about contracts awarded by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) since January 2009, on behalf of federal departments and agencies.

The Contract History CSV files are updated monthly, and are organized by fiscal year. A complete Contract History file, containing contracts from 2009 to today is also available for download on this page. Visit the "About Contract History" page to learn more: https://buyandsell.gc.ca/procurement-data/contract-history/about-contract-history.

The Procurement Data Dictionary offers a description of each data field contained in the Contract History file, as well as other datasets published on Buyandsell.gc.ca. The XML file is meant to be …

The Canada Energy Regulator produces a table showing conditions from projects approved since 2010. This table lists conditions by company and by specific approval number. It also shows the current status of each condition. The conditions dataset is updated daily. This dataset is used in the Conditions on Energy Projects visualization tool on the Canada Energy Regulator website. The source code for the visualization tool is also available.

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.

Prior to 2021, the Government of Canada used Goods and Services Identification Number (GSIN) codes to identify generic product descriptions for its procurement activities. GSIN codes were used to connect all of the procurement information, including Tender Notices, Award Notices, Standing Offers and Supply Arrangements, and Contract History.

The GSIN CSV file published on this page is updated on an “as needed” frequency, when codes are either created or deactivated.

Please see the Mapping of Goods and Services Identification Number to United Nations Standard Products and Services Code dataset for a resource that compares GSIN codes to a subset of …

The international classification system for procurement items called the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) began to replace the Government of Canada’s Goods and Services Identification Numbers (GSIN) codes in 2021.

This page contains an open data file that maps the UNSPSC goods and services codes to the Government of Canada’s current system for classifying the Goods and Services: Identification Number (GSIN) at the highest level. The data is available in Comma Separated Values (CSV) file format and can be downloaded to sort, filter, and search information.

Please see the Finding and using UNSPSC Codes page or the …

"Birds are the most diverse of land vertebrates and are an important indicator of ecosystem health. Large protected areas, such as Banff National Park, provide important habitat for a wide range of bird species. Data collected can provide a number of ecological indices; for example, used to assess the effects of land use and climate change. Yearly data are collected at these sites using audio recorders to determine indices of bird diversity and occupancy trends to inform management.
Note that this dataset has only transect locations. Bird information is not available at this time. "

We surveyed the presence of four native amphibian species in wetlands throughout the eastern section of Banff National Park. This dataset represents detection or non-detection for each of the four species.
We performed auditory and visual surveys of 60 pre-determined breeding sites . We surveyed each site two times during a sampling period between mid-April and the end of May.
We conducted auditory surveys by recording amphibian calls at the edge of each site for a 5-minute period prior to the visual survey. We conducted visual surveys for a one-hour search time with two observers in order to standardize survey …

Banff National Park assesses the populations of American Pika using surveys of active pika hay piles at various sites throughout the park.
