    In rural Alberta, 90 per cent of people use private well water supplies for domestic use (e.g., drinking, cooking, bathing). Domestic well water systems are not regulated by the provincial or federal governments. The Government of Alberta along with Alberta Health Services (AHS) provides water chemistry testing of private well water and information and advice on safe water for domestic purposes; however, it is the responsibility of well owners to ensure the quality and safety of their water supply. Water quality may be impacted by contamination from natural sources or human activities and cause noticeable aesthetic issues or potential health concerns. Water samples are collected and submitted by well owners through local AHS sites for analysis of routine chemistry and trace element parameters. Routine chemistry testing focuses on the suitability of the water for drinking and household use with two health-related parameters. For trace elements, testing used to be conducted only when there were health concerns or when the water was suspected to contain chemicals of concern (2001 to Sep 2018). Currently, trace element testing is completed for all samples submitted for routine analysis (if the sample volume is sufficient). The Alberta Centre for Toxicology has conducted the analyses of raw domestic well water samples since March 2004. From 2001 to Mar 2004, testing was conducted by Enviro-Test Laboratories. Limited information is available regarding the analytical methods and detection limits for this lab; therefore, users are advised to exercise caution when using the 2001 to Mar 2004 data. These datasets contain the routine chemistry results for raw well water samples collected from 2001 to 2018. Corrections may be made to the dataset over time (e.g., removal of samples deemed to be treated); users should regularly check for updates and download the most current versions. For additional information, refer to the publications on the “Related” tab of this webpage.

    RHAs/Health Regions are geographic areas which are used to define populations and catchment areas for the administration and delivery of health services. This file provides RHA boundaries for cartographic and analytical purposes. Within Manitoba there are five Regional Health Authorities (or "RHAs") responsible for the delivery of health services in five specific areas of the province described in the legislation as "health regions." (In practice, the terms "health region" and "RHA" are often used interchangeably to describe these geographic areas.). This file contains boundaries for the health regions for each Regional Health Authority in Manitoba. Fields included (Alias (Field Name): Field description.) RHA Code (RHACODE): Two-digit numeric code which uniquely identifies a specific legislatively defined RHA RHA Name (RHAName): This field contains a simple name for each RHA, suitable for use as a label, in English. Nom de l'office régionale de la santé (RHANomFr): This field contains a simple name for each RHA, suitable for use as a label, in French. RHA Area - total (sq km) (RHAArea): The calculated geodesic area, in square kilometres, of the area within a given RHA's boundaries. RHA Area - excludes major lakes (sq km) (LandArea): The calculated geodesic area, in square kilometres, of the area within a given RHA's boundaries, with the area of major lakes excluded. For population density calculations, we recommend the use of this area value. The following major lakes have been excluded: Lake Winnipeg, Lake Manitoba, Lake Winnipegosis, and Cedar Lake.

    Feature point layer showing COVID-19 rapid antigen test kit distribution sites in Manitoba. Feature point layer showing locations of distribution sites that currently have COVID-19 rapid antigen test kits available in Manitoba. The main purpose of this data is to provide the public with the hours of operation for these sites. Distributors include pharmacies, retail stores, and community libraries. This data is populated by Manitoba Shared Health and is updated as needed. This feature layer is used in the Manitoba COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test Kit Availability Map and Manitoba COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test Kit Availability application. For more information on Manitoba’s response to COVID-19, please visit the following site: https://www.gov.mb.ca/covid19/index.html Fields included [Alias (Field Name): Field description] Site Category (Site_Category): Indicates whether the site is a retail business, pharmacy, or community library Site Name (Site_Name): Official business name of the site  Address (Address): Street address of the site  City or Town (City_or_Town): City or town in which the site is located Postal Code (Postal_Code): Postal code that corresponds with the street address of the site  Phone (Phone): Telephone number for the site French Service (French_Service): Indicates whether a site self-identified as having services available in French; if unknown, value is null   Health Authority (Health_Authority): Name of the regional health authority where the site is located Hours of Operation (Hours_of_Operation): Listing of days and times that the site is open to the public Alt Hours Start (Alt_Hours_Start): Start date of when alternate hours are in effect Alt Hours End (Alt_Hours_End): End date of when alternate hours are in effect Alternate Hours of Operation (Alternate_Hours_of_Operation): Listing of alternate days and times that the site is open to the public Latitude (Latitude): Latitudinal coordinate of the site Longitude (Longitude): Longitudinal coordinate of the site

    RHA Districts are geographic areas that are used to define populations and catchment areas for the administration and delivery of health services. This file provides RHA district boundaries for cartographic and analytical purposes. Within Manitoba there are five Regional Health Authorities (or "RHAs") responsible for the delivery of health service in five specific areas of the province described as "health regions". (In practice, the terms "health region" and "RHA" are used interchangeably to describe these geographic areas.) In consultation with Manitoba Health, Healthy Living and Seniors, and with the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy, each of the RHAs has defined further subdivisions within each RHA . These sub-areas of each RHA generally correspond to areas of clustered population and/or service delivery. They are used to plan service delivery, and are also used to describe and analyze population health and health service use with more specificity than analysis at the RHA level could provide. Due to the size and the total population of Manitoba's RHAs, there are two levels of subdivided RHA geography which are used for analytical and planning purposes. The smallest subdivisions used for this purpose are RHA Districts. RHA Districts within an RHA are also grouped into larger sub-areas with the RHA called RHA Zones, within each RHA District within an RHA included in precisely one of these zone. This shapefile contains the boundaries of Manitoba's RHA districts.

    Feature point layer showing locations of distributors participating in the Naloxone Take Home Program in Manitoba. This feature point layer shows the locations of distributors participating in the Naloxone Take Home Program in Manitoba. Naloxone is a drug that temporarily reverses overdose (toxicity) caused by opioid drugs (such as fentanyl, heroin, morphine, hydromorphone). Free take-home naloxone kits are available to members of the public who are at risk of opioid overdose (toxicity), and family or friends who may witness opioid toxicity. For more information see Manitoba Health. This feature layer is used in the Naloxone Distributors Map - Take Home Program and Naloxone Finder - Take Home Program application.
