    Programs in BC that provide walk-in treatment services for people who have minor illnesses or injuries that do not require a visit to a hospital emergency department or an urgent care facility. These programs are generally specialized practices set up by groups of physicians operating within the provincial-territorial heath system who are available for patients that do not have family physicians or who need medical treatment and-or diagnosis at times when their family physician is not available. In some areas, a walk-in clinic may rotate between the clinics of different physicians. Some programs, mainly in major metropolitan areas, may operate on a 24-hour basis but all tend to be open for some or all evenings and weekends.

    Interactive app illustrates the locations of licensed personal care home facilities in Manitoba. This interactive app shows the locations of licensed personal care home facilities in Manitoba and provides public access to reports completed by the Licensing and Compliance Branch of Manitoba Health, Seniors and Active Living for personal care home standards reviews.  Each report identifies the standards and performance measures evaluated during the course of each review as well as a summary of findings including any areas of non-compliance requiring follow-up by the PCH.  Information contained in the reports is reflective of what was observed or assessed on the day of the review only.  Licensed personal care home operators are directly responsible to the regional health authority under whose jurisdiction they operate and questions regarding the current status of any concerns identified in standards review reports should be directed to either the personal care home or their regional health authority. This app utilizes the Manitoba Personal Care Home Reporting Map.

    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.

    Map showing locations of distributors participating in the Naloxone Take Home Program in Manitoba. This map 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 map uses the point feature layer Naloxone Distributors Take Home Program and forms part of the Naloxone Finder - Take Home Program application.

    This dataset provides information which is currently displayed on the Assisted Living Programs Map. The intent of the [Assisted Living Programs Map](https://moh.apps.gov.bc.ca/alrc/) is to provide an online resource to assist families searching for all types of assisted living services, including seniors, mental health and supportive recovery. Information is listed by service type, registrant, name of residence, address, city and maximum capacity. This dataset includes both publicly subsidized and private paid residences. New registered assisted living residences are added as they become operational. The dataset is updated biweekly.

    The data contained in the dashboard describes the COVID-19 cases and deaths by province and health regions. The dashboard is developed by the Public Health Infobase in collaboration with the Health Portfolio Operation Center and the Public Health Geomatics Unit of the Public Health Agency of Canada. The data is provided by the COVID-19 Canada COVID Open Data Working Group (CCODWG) and by the Provinces and Territories through the Public Health Agency of Canada. This health region data is verified by the Public Health Agency of Canada in collaboration with Natural Resources Canada. The population data is provided by Statistics Canada. The chart on the cases and deaths are done the confirmed cases of COVID-19.
