This polygonal dataset represents authorized applications for a Mines Act permit known as a Permitted Mine Area (PMA). This dataset can be used in combination with the NoW point dataset which represents both applications for a Mines Act permit and issued authorizations for mining activities proposed in the application. **The regional mine PMA dataset is not complete for all mine sites in BC. Review the data quality section for more information** Point representation of NoW: https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/fab53209-63be-4c61-8de4-3e3fceec4227 Applications for regional Mines Act permits are known as Notice of Work (NoW) applications. Regional mine permits are issued for mineral and coal exploration activities, sand and gravel production, quarry production, and placer mining. Major mine permits are issued for producing mineral and coal mines. Permits are issued by the chief permitting officer under section 10 of the Mines Act and administered by the ministry. **Regional mines include:** * Exploration — mineral, coal, rock quarry, industrial mineral or dimension stone * Sand and gravel — aggregate, rock or natural substances used for construction purposes * Placer   Most exploration and development activities require a permit under the Mines Act. A decision marks the end of the permitting process for a NoW application. The decision can either be to reject the application or to authorize the mining activities proposed in the NoW. * For new NoW authorizations, a Mines Act permit is issued * For an existing open Mines Act permit, the newly authorized mining activities are amended to the existing permit and the permit is re-issued   Notice of Work categories include: Notice of Work application type, Notice of Work application status. **Notice of Work application type** Field: NOW_APPLICATION_TYPE_DESC (NW_APPTYPD) * Coal * Mineral * Placer Operations * Quarry – Construction Aggregate * Quarry – Industrial Mineral * Sand and Gravel   **Notice of Work application status** Field: NOW_APPLICATION_STATUS_DESC (NW_APPSTAD) * Approved – mining activities in the NoW application have been authorized   **For the public view, please be aware that the ministry:** * Removed the attribute value of closed permits in the PERMIT_STATUS_CODE_DESC (PMT_STD) field. These records will show as permit status is NULL (empty). * Only shows mine commodities of gold or jade/nephrite in the MINE_COMMODITY_DESC (MN_COMD) field. All other commodity values remain NULL (empty)

Province wide spatial view showing aquifers designated as a Water Reservation. These Reserves set aside water in an aquifer specifically for future treaty obligations, and are formally established through Orders in Council issued by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, as authorized under Sections 39–41 of the Water Sustainability Act.

The North America Surface Water Values point dataset contains the current water level and stream flow values as recorded by Canadian and USA hydrometric gauging station locations. Daily values are recorded as well as comparisons with historical measurements, including difference in values from the previous day, the mean level for that calendar date, the annual mean water level, and maximum and minumum recorded levels. Percentile values based on historical average for both water level and stream flow are also included. Real-time gauging station data for Canada is available here: https://wateroffice.ec.gc.ca/search/statistics_e.html Real-time gauging station data for the United States is available here: https://waterservices.usgs.gov/rest/Statistics-Service.html

To support a wide range of efforts to understand the geographic context and historical conditions of the Indian residential schools sites for a wide range of stakeholders, Indigenous Services Canada has created a Web service to access and visualize historical aerial photography for those sites. The Historical aerial photography of Indian residential schools dataset contains digital scans of aerial photographs that were acquired from 1924 to 1998 over Indian Residential school sites and surrounding areas across Canada, as well as basic information about each photography and depicted site. The digital images were georeferenced, to match ground coordinates, saved in a resampled uncompressed raster format and compiled in a single mosaic layer. The dataset does not include the complete range of aerial photographs of each site. Instead, an attempt has been made to select a single optimal photograph for each site based on good photographic quality and the site's years of operation. In some cases no photograph is available, and in others a photograph was only available after the years of operation. The source scanned prints was obtained from the archives of the National Air Photo Library (NAPL) of Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN). This dataset should be considered evergreen as new information and photography sources are identified. It should be noted that this dataset can only be downloaded using ArcGIS and ArcPro software as well as other GIS software.

Fire perimeters for this year's forest fires in Ontario. Fire perimeters are illustrations only and may not be exact in relation to actual physical locations. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources does not capture perimeters for every fire. Fire perimeters are not captured in real time; each capture depends on available resources and weather conditions and may be several days old. During fire season, perimeter data is updated every 24 hours as improved information becomes available; therefore, reported fire size may fluctuate from day to day. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources shall not be liable in any way for the use of, or reliance upon this information. The [Forest Fire Info Map](https://www.lioapplications.lrc.gov.on.ca/ForestFireInformationMap/index.html?viewer=FFIM.FFIM&locale=en-CA) shows active fires, current fire danger and restricted fire zones in place due to high fire danger.

Temporary Protection Orders (TPOs) are ministerial orders that can be implemented to curtail water users during times of water scarcity to protect streamflow availability fish populations and the aquatic ecosystem. TPOs were implemented under Section 9 of the Fish Protection Act prior to 2016, but are now implemented under Section 86, 87 and 88 of the Water Sustainability Act. This dataset is a compilation of data hosted on TPOs to date across British Columbia and is maintained by the Watershed Stewardship and Security Branch within the Ministry of Water, Lands and Resource Stewardship. The purpose of the dataset is to communicate to water users when and where TPOs are/were in effect at the watershed scale. For specific details on which water users are affected by a TPO, please refer to the official Ministerial Order document referenced in the dataset.
