Non-government agency Nature Reserves are polygon features describing lands held by nature trusts and other non-government agencies for the purpose of nature conservation. We are no longer updating this data. It is best suited for historical research and analysis. This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

A Fire Disturbance Area represents the mapped exterior perimeter of a forest fire. Mapping is derived from a variety of sources, such as GPS points and digitized paper maps. Prior to 1998, only fires greater than 200 hectares were mapped. Since 1998, fires greater than 40 hectares have been mapped. If adequate mapping exists for fires less than 40 hectares in size, they will be included in this data class. The [Forest Fire Info Map](https://www.lioapplications.lrc.gov.on.ca/ForestFireInformationMap/index.html?viewer=FFIM.FFIM) shows active fires, current fire danger and restricted fire zones in place due to high fire danger.

Get data on the results of a community led planning process to sustain the natural environment for the Kawartha Lakes region. This dataset represents the results of a community led planning process to sustain the natural environment across the landscape. A collaborative team of individuals representing governments, stewardship councils, conservation organizations, local industry, private landowners and First Nation communities worked together to identify and map natural heritage features and the connections between them. The data package includes: * spatial data * project reports * presentation materials The data has been made available to inform and support: * land use planning * resource management * stewardship and restoration projects * priorities for conservation land acquisitions * priorities for inventory programs and research Please visit [http://www.kawarthasnaturally.ca/](http://www.kawarthasnaturally.ca/) for more information about this project.

Built-Up Areas are man-made land cover features, ranging from small hamlets at rural cross roads to large cities. This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

The dataset identifies the location and types of Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSIs) that are commonly used in maps for resource management purposes. Official GEO title: ANSI

The data is used to create reference and thematic maps The Special Needs Strategy was launched in February 2014 to improve services for children and youth with special needs and their families. Its three key areas include: * identifying kids' needs earlier and connecting them to the right help sooner * coordinating service planning * making the delivery of rehabilitation services seamless

Facilities that separate and convert crude oil or other feedstock into liquid petroleum products, including upgraders and asphalt refineries. Mapping Resources implemented as part of the North American Cooperation on Energy Information (NACEI) between the Department of Energy of the United States of America, the Department of Natural Resources of Canada, and the Ministry of Energy of the United Mexican States.

This spatial dataset represents the locations of aquatic resource area (ARA) line segments derived from corresponding line features in the Ontario Hydro Network. ARA line segments may represent a portion of a water body or an entire water body (such as a lake, river or stream). Attributes for each location may include: * physical characteristics such as water temperature and depth * fish species The ARA data classes are the authoritative source for generic spatial data related to fish species in Ontario. The data can be used for: * forest and fisheries management planning * municipal planning * natural heritage and land use planning * issuing work permits under the [Public Lands Act](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90p43), 1990 * issuing licenses under the [Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/97f41), 1997 * fulfilling public information requests There are additional sensitive data related to provincially tracked species and species at risk that are not available as part of this open data package. Distribution of sensitive species data is approved on a need-to-know basis. Requests should be sent to [geospatial@ontario.ca](mailto:geospatial@ontario.ca).

The Ontario Radar Digital Surface Model (DSM) has the following features: * source data: 1 arc second spaceborne C-Band Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) data * Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Lambert Conformal Conic Projection * vertical datum in both EGM96 and CGVD28, separately * elevation value: floating * local Polynomial Interpolation from vector elevation points * spatial resolution: 30 meter * asurface elevation model This product offers significant advancements in elevation data in the province. [Read the details about these advancements and other technical specifications,](https://geohub.lio.gov.on.ca/maps/mnrf::ontario-radar-digital-surface-model/) including data processing, major spatial characteristics of the Radar DSM, and the steps to generate the Northern Ontario Radar DSM.

This dataset includes statistics by: * year * age * language * parental language * gender * geography * household type * family type All counts are rounded to a base of five.
