Reference maps illustrate the location of census standard geographic areas for which census statistical data are tabulated and disseminated. The maps display the boundaries, names and unique identifiers of standard geographic areas, as well as physical features such as streets, railroads, coastlines, rivers and lakes. Reference maps include: Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) Census tracts Federal electoral districts

The Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) aims at addressing the lack of charging infrastructure in Canada, one of the key barriers to zero emission vehicle adoption by increasing the availability of localized charging where Canadians live, work, travel and play. This Planning Map for Public EV Charging Infrastructure identifies priority areas and accounts for available charging infrastructure and expected charging needs with a focus on public corridor charging. To optimize web performance when using the map, it is recommended you zoom into the areas you are exploring. Priority areas are identified on a scale ranging from lowest to highest priority. Public Corridor Charging includes the EV charging needs of those travelling longer distances on highways and major roads. The objective is to ensure that EV drivers can travel over the majority of Canada’s road network connecting most communities in an EV without being limited on vehicle range. The map identifies priority locations within 1.6 kilometres of major roads based on criteria such as, traffic, expected EV adoption and distance between chargers

This service shows the predominant mother tongue in each census division based on English, French or non-official language. The data is from the data table Mother Tongue (10), Age (27) and Sex (3) for the Population of Canada, Provinces and Territories, Census Divisions and Census Subdivisions, 2016 Census - 100% Data, Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 98-400-X2016046. Mother tongue refers to the first language learned at home in childhood and still understood by the person at the time the data was collected. If the person no longer understands the first language learned, the mother tongue is the second language learned. For a person who learned two languages at the same time in early childhood, the mother tongue is the language this person spoke most often at home before starting school. The person has two mother tongues only if the two languages were used equally often and are still understood by the person. For a child who has not yet learned to speak, the mother tongue is the language spoken most often to this child at home. The child has two mother tongues only if both languages are spoken equally often so that the child learns both languages at the same time. For additional information refer to the 2016 Census Dictionary for 'Mother tongue'. To have a cartographic representation of the ecumene with this socio-economic indicator, it is recommended to add as the first layer, the “NRCan - 2016 population ecumene by census division” web service, accessible in the data resources section below.

The 2024 Census Subdivision Boundary File depicts the boundaries of all 5,028 census subdivisions, which combined, cover all of Canada. It contains the unique identifier (UID), name and type, as well as the UIDs, names and types (where applicable) of selected higher geographic levels. The 2024 Census Subdivision Boundary File is portrayed in Lambert conformal conic projection (North American Datum of 1983 [NAD83]) and is available as a national file.

A thematic map shows the spatial distribution of one or more specific data themes for standard geographic areas. Thematic maps include: Population Age Income Language of work Instruction in the official minority language

The Geographic Attribute File (GAF) contains information at the dissemination block level, based Census standard geographic areas. The data available include population counts, dwelling counts, and land area. In addition, the Geographic Attribute File contains higher level standard geographic codes, names and, where applicable, types and classes. Data for higher level standard geographic areas can be derived by aggregating dissemination block level data. The dissemination area representative point coordinates are also included in the Geographic Attribute File.

This service shows the proportion of commuters using sustainable transportation for Canada by 2016 census division. The data is from the data table Main Mode of Commuting (10), Commuting Duration (7), Time Leaving for Work (7), Sex (3) and Age (5) for the Employed Labour Force Aged 15 Years and Over Having a Usual Place of Work or No Fixed Workplace Address, in Private Households of Canada, Provinces and Territories, Census Divisions and Census Subdivisions, 2016 Census - 25% Sample Data, Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 98-400-X2016324. 'Main mode of commuting' refers to the main mode of transportation a person uses to travel between his or her home and his or her place of work. 'Sustainable transportation' refers to persons using public transit (bus; subway or elevated rail; light rail, streetcar or commuter train; or passenger ferry) or active transport (walked or bicycle). For additional information refer to 'Main mode of commuting' in the 2016 Census Dictionary. For additional information refer to 'Main mode of commuting' in the 2016 Census Dictionary.

The Canada Basemap – Transportation (CBMT) is a vector tile service that provides spatial reference context with an emphasis on transportation networks across Canada. It is designed especially for use as a background layer in a web mapping application or geographic information system (GIS). Access: Access is free of charge under the terms of the Open Government Licence - Canada. Data Sources: Data for the CBMT is sourced from multiple datasets. - Topographic data of Canada - CanVec Series - “Automatically Extracted Buildings” GeoBase (a raw digital product in vector format automatically extracted from airborne Lidar data, high-resolution optical imagery or other sources.) - Open Street Map (OSM) data available under the Open Database License (https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright). - Official names from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGNDB). Geographic Coverage: CBMT covers the entire geographic area of Canada and some major transportation routes and cities in the northern States of the USA. Data Update Frequency: Updates are applied monthly to reflect the latest updates in the source datasets. Projection: Data is provided in the EPSG:3978 (NAD83 Canada Atlas Lambert) projected coordinate system. Layer Access: - CBMT is accessible via the ArcGIS Online item link with the applied style or it can also be accessed directly with the default style using the following Vector Tile Server: https://tiles.arcgis.com/tiles/HsjBaDykC1mjhXz9/arcgis/rest/services/CBMT_CBCT_3978_V_OSM/VectorTileServer - In QGIS or other applications that require the style JSON, the following link can be used: https://arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/708e92c1f00941e3af3dd3c092ae4a0a/resources/styles/root.json Use Cases: This layer is suitable for use in any map as a basemap layer and can be modified to meet the needs of the project by editing the JSON style in the Vector Tile Style editor. Additional Versions: - A geometry-only version (CBMT3978GEOM) and a text-only version (CBMT3978TXT) are available. - French versions of the basemap are accessible via the Carte de base du Canada - Transport 3978 V (CBCT3978).
