This dataset includes all MPMO projects at various stages in the review process, including those that are currently undergoing review and those that have completed a review.

This data set presents the places of interest in the City of Montreal according to the classification carried out as part of the Montreal on Foot (MàP) initiative in 2020. The Montréal à Pied project aims to improve orientation and pedestrian paths throughout Montreal. Although the data concern the territory of the boroughs, places of interest may be located on the territory of linked cities for a better coherence of geographic information.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Canada is divided into 308 electoral districts. A representative or member of Parliament is elected for each electoral district. Following the release of population counts from each decennial census, the Chief Electoral Officer determines the number of seats in the House of Commons and publishes the information in the Canada Gazette. Electoral boundaries commissions then determine the adjustments to the constituency boundaries. The federal electoral boundaries commissions are independent bodies that make all decisions regarding the proposed and final federal electoral boundaries. Elections Canada provides support services to the boundaries commission in each province. Based on reports from these commissions, the Chief Electoral Officer prepares a representation order that describes the boundaries and specifies the name and the population of each FED. The representation order is in force on the first dissolution of Parliament that occurs at least one year after its proclamation. The 2003 Representation Order (proclaimed on August 25, 2003) was based on 2001 Census population counts, and increased the number of FEDs to 308, up from 301 from the previous 1996 Representation Order. Ontario received three additional seats, while Alberta and British Columbia each gained two seats. The names of FEDs may change at any time through an Act of Parliament.

As part of measure 2.6 of the 2013-2020 Climate Change Action Plan, the MELCC financed two projects specific to the St. Lawrence river section and aimed at supporting municipalities facing the risks of erosion and flooding. The team of the **Laboratoire de Géomorphology Terre-Mer du Département de Géomorphology de l'Université Laval** has set up an essential geospatial information base for assessing the risks associated with the erosion of the banks of the banks of the St. Lawrence river section. The user will be able to find there (i) the mapping of the classification of the shore (types of banks and their artificialization), (ii) the degradation conditions of artificial structures and (iii) the state of erosion of natural or artificial segments. The sectors most vulnerable to erosion have also been mapped and documented with image quality sheets. These sheets present the characteristics of the shoreline and the main natural (currents, ice, etc.) and human geomorphological processes (currents, ice, etc.) associated with bank erosion for these nerve sectors, in order to better represent local dynamics. The geospatial data associated with shoreline mapping, the quality sheets and the project report, which includes the description of the methodology and results, are available for download. The second project is led by Ouranos and aims to reduce the vulnerability to floods and erosion associated with climate change for communities bordering the St. Lawrence river section. The user will be able to consult two reports resulting from this project: a. Technical report on future trends in the main hydro-climatic factors that influence natural flood risks and bank erosion processes along the fluvial section of the St. Lawrence. The objectives of this report are to draw a portrait of these hazards, covering both the recent past and future projections (2050 and 2080). These factors range from large-scale phenomena, such as the spring flood of the St. Lawrence River or marine uplift, to local phenomena such as freeze-thaw processes that affect clay cliffs and microcliffs. b) Summary of the needs mentioned by the actors of the regional round tables (TCRs) to adapt shoreline communities to the risks of bank erosion and flooding. This report presents a portrait of the participants of the four workshops organized in the fall of 2018, the approach used for the consultation and a summary of the needs expressed. The lists of participants and the detailed reports of each workshop are also included in the annex to this document. The TCRs consulted during these workshops are those of Haut-Saint-Laurent — Greater Montreal, Lac Saint-Pierre, the fluvial estuary and the TCR of Quebec. Following this characterization project, a [Study of bank mobility issues in the St. Lawrence river section] project (https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/etude-d-enjeux-de-mobilite-des-berges-dans-le-troncon-fluvial-du-saint-laurent) was carried out.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Map indexes are grids that divide the territory into several sheets for the whole of Quebec. The use of these indexes allows the identification of a map sheet number for a specific territory at the scale of 1/2,000, 1/20,000 and 1/100,000. The cartographic indexes come from the Quebec cartographic reference system (S.Q.R.C), which divides the territory into hierarchical units and at different scales (1/100,000, 1/20,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/5,000, 1/5,000, 1/5,000, 1/1,000). This system is compatible with the [**National Cartographic Reference System (S.N.R.C) **] (https://ressources-naturelles.canada.ca/sciences-terre/geographie/information-topographique/cartes/9766).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Produced as part of the St. Lawrence Action Plan, the Atlas of Territories of Interest for Conservation in the St. Lawrence Lowlands shows the sites where conservation needs are the most pressing. The conservation targets selected (coarse filter) are forest environments, wetlands, open environments (wastelands, perennial crops) and aquatic environments to which are added elements of the fine filter such as exceptional aquatic environments associated with the St. Lawrence corridor (e.g. spawning grounds), alvars, bird colonies, wildlife elements (e.g. nesting sites of Bank Swallows and Chimney Swift, etc.) and important floristic occurrences. Our objective is to determine the sites of interest until a representative threshold of 20% is reached. The geospatial data associated with sites of interest for conservation, the user guide, the methodological report, the metadata as well as the detailed mapping of land use in the St. Lawrence Lowlands, which was an essential basic data for producing this atlas, are available for download. Users can therefore more accurately consult the spatial distribution of sites of interest and the conservation value associated with each plot of habitat for conservation targets (forest environments, wetlands, wastelands, perennial crops, aquatic environments) using geographic information systems (e.g. ArcGIS). Users can also adapt the analysis of this data to their territorial reality and according to specific objectives specific to their interests. Since the conservation of natural environments and species in precarious situations is a shared responsibility, this Atlas will make it possible to meet the priorities of the many organizations involved in the conservation of natural environments in the St. Lawrence Lowlands.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The Geographic and Administrative Database is available at scales of 1/1,000,000 (BDGA1M) and 1/5,000,000 (BDGA5M). It provides a geographic and administrative base on a small scale for the whole of Quebec. The data is the result of an automatic generalization of the vectors of a database on a scale of 1/250,000, and from a geometric and thematic purification. Data from territories outside Quebec must be used and considered with some reservations, taking into account the date they were updated and the classifications used. Administrative boundaries also come from the generalization of data at a scale of 1/250,000 on major hydrographic axes. This database brings together: * Major hydrographic complexes; * Transport and hydroelectric infrastructures; * The main agglomerations and centers of occupation; * The limits of major administrative divisions. For more information on the various data layers, consult the physical data structure documents (scales of [1/1,000,000] (https://diffusion.mern.gouv.qc.ca/diffusion/RGQ/Documentation/BDGA_1M/Structure_physique_BDGA1M.pdf) or [1/5,000,000] (https://diffusion.mern.gouv.qc.ca/diffusion/RGQ/Documentation/BDGA_5M/Structure_physique_BDGA5M.pdf)).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

__The link: * Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset description sheets; Additional information*__. Ecoforest maps in PDF format are available at a scale of 1/20,000 and cover Quebec territory approximately up to the 52nd parallel. Each map covers an average area of approximately 250 km2 and presents forest information for the territory concerned. Its accuracy is approximately 10 meters. These maps are an image of the current ecoforest map for the corresponding year. __Maps 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024__ The maps 2021, 2022, 2023, as well as those of 2024 are produced from the up-to-date ecoforest map of the corresponding year. It represents the result of the photo-interpretation of aerial photographs taken during the 4th and 5th ecoforestry inventories of southern Quebec to which were added natural disturbances (fires, epidemics, windfalls, etc.) and forest interventions (harvesting and reforestation) carried out in the public forest following the year in which the picture was taken. According to the maps, data using the forest stand inventory approach (AIPF) is included when available for a complete sheet. Main components: type of vegetation (forest species group, density class, class of density, class of height, age class, etc.) or type of AIPF vegetation (detailed forest species, density (%), height (m), age class, etc.); slope class; class of slope; nature of the terrain (peatlands, height class, age class, etc.); topography (level curves); fragmentation. __2019 and 2020 maps__ The 2019 maps, as well as those of 2020, are produced from up-to-date ecoforest maps of the corresponding year. They represent the result of the photo-interpretation of aerial photographs taken during the 4th and 5th ecoforestry inventories of southern Quebec to which were added natural disturbances (fires, epidemics, windfalls, etc.) and forest interventions (harvesting and reforestation) carried out in the public forest following the year in which the photo-interpretation of aerial photographs from the 4th and 5th ecoforestry inventories of southern Quebec were taken. An update is then carried out taking into account natural disturbances (fires, epidemics, windfalls, etc.) and forest interventions (harvesting and reforestation) carried out in public forests. The information presented corresponds to the current ecoforest map of 2019 or 2020 as the case may be. On each of the maps, the name of the stands is expressed by the group of species. Main components: type of vegetation (forest species, density, height, height, age class, etc.); slope class; nature of the terrain (peatlands, gravel, etc.); hydrography (lakes, rivers, streams, streams, swamps, etc.); transport network and swamps, etc.); transport network and bridges; topography (level curves); fragmentation. __Maps 2015__ The 2015 maps are produced from the photo-interpretation of aerial photographs from the 3rd and 4th ecoforest inventories of southern Quebec. An update is then carried out taking into account natural disturbances (fires, epidemics, windfalls, etc.) and forest interventions (cutting and planting) carried out in public forests. The information presented corresponds to the 2015 updated ecoforest map.
