Contains 2 datasets: * lower and single tier municipalities * upper tier municipalities and districts.

The flood magnitude statistics can be used for applications such as flood plain delineation and design of hydraulic structures. The drought severity statistics can be used for applications such as water abstraction and effluent dilution.

ECO - Business and economic (economy) Economic activities or employment. For example, resources describing labor; revenue; commerce; industry; tourism and ecotourism; forestry; fisheries; commercial or subsistence hunting; and exploration and exploitation of resources, such as minerals, oil, and gas.

## GIS data containing the boundaries of Provincially Significant Employment Zones in the Greater Golden Horseshoe as identified by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing As areas of high economic output, provincially significant employment zones are strategically located to provide stable, reliable employment across the Greater Golden Horseshoe region. They provide opportunities to improve coordination between land use planning, economic development, and infrastructure investments to support investment and job creation over the longer-term.

This provincial layer shows the site locations for waterpower Applicants of Record seeking regulatory approvals for renewable energy projects on Crown land. The ministry will not accept another application for the same lands at the same time under the Renewable Energy on Crown Land (RECL) policy.

The Ontario Stewardship Program has established Stewardship Councils across Ontario. Ministry of Natural Resources staff no longer directly administer and support Ontario Stewardship Councils. Community-based partners and stakeholders now independently administer Stewardship Councils. We are no longer updating this data. It is best suited for historical research and analysis. __Stewardship Zone__ The Ontario Stewardship Program divides the province into four administrative regions or zones. Any given Stewardship Council will fall into one of these zones. __Stewardship Council Area__ The Ontario Stewardship Program established Stewardship Councils across southern Ontario and a portion of Northern Ontario. Where these councils have defined administrative boundaries, the location is stored in this data class. __Stewardship Council Location__ Most councils have established administrative boundaries that generally conform to upper tier municipalities. There are some councils in Northern Ontario which are generally located in and around a certain geographic location but do not have established administrative boundaries. This data class is primarily used to store point locations associated with these northern councils.

The fish activity area data represents the consolidation of two fish data classes collected by the Ministry of Natural Resources. The data estimates locations used by fish for activities such as spawning and nursing young. Locations are represented as polygons. They may be related to a specific species or described more generally. There are additional sensitive features related to provincially tracked species and species at risk that are not available as part of the open data package. Sensitive features are subject to licensing and approvals and may be requested by contacting geospatial@ontario.ca.

The land cover classes consist of vegetation types (such as forest, wetlands and agricultural crops or pasture) and categories of non-vegetated surface (such as water bodies, bedrock outcrops or settlements). These classes reflect the nature of the land surface rather than actual or potential land use. The 2000 Edition of the Ontario Land Cover Data Base is the Second Edition of this provincial land cover classification. The coverage is derived wholly from Landsat-7 Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite data frames recorded between 1999 and 2002, most from 2000 onward. The Provincial Land Cover (2000) Data Base is divided into 4 individual Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid zone tiles (15, 16, 17, and 18) and is distributed in Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) format. Documentation is provided with this database in the form of a user's guide and general use caveats.
