Environmental Monitoring Program data for aquaculture.

The Grain Elevators in Canada – 2017 dataset maps the list of grain elevators in Canada as provided by the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC). The elevators have been located as much as possible to an actual location rather than generalizing to the station name centroid. Additionally car spot information from CN, CP and the grain companies has been added where this has been published. This dataset attempts to provide a temporal and geographical extent of the grain elevators in Canada.

The data includes lake centroids and stream junctions and includes information on lake morphology such as length, width, depth, volume, and elevation, as well as the area of watersheds. This data is intended for researchers, engineers, government agencies, government agencies, environmental professionals, as well as students and industries, for applications in the environment, hydrology, and hydraulics.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

This data breaks down estimated hunter and harvest numbers by: * wildlife management unit (WMU) * calendar year Harvest and active hunter numbers are estimates based on replies received from a sample of hunters and are therefore subject to statistical error. Additional technical and statistical notes can be found in the data dictionary.

The Living Environment Equity Index is a territorial index that aims to locate living environments that combine urban vulnerabilities in order to encourage the prioritization and convergence of municipal investments. This index represents environments that combine social, economic, environmental vulnerabilities, vulnerabilities in access to local resources, in access to cultural, sports and leisure resources and in urban security. This data set includes: * 23 indicators divided into 6 equity dimensions * 6 sub-indices representing the dimensions of equity * the living environment equity index __Interact with visualization data [Living Environment Equity Index - 2024] (https://services.montreal.ca/indice-equite-milieux-vie).__**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Phytoplankton counts (cell/L)) at the 3 fixed stations and some of the 46 stations grouped into Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP) transects under Quebec region responsibility. Phytoplankton data counts at AZMP stations in June 2014, 2018 and 2019 are displayed as 5 layers: Diatoms, Dinoflagellates, Flagellates, Protozoans and Total Phytoplankton. Another layer displays the fixed stations Rimouski, Anticosti Gyre and Gaspe Current and the attached files contain the phytoplankton data acquired at those stations: a .png file for each one, showing time series of counts for the 5 groups, and a .csv file containing the data themselves (columns : Latitude,Longitude, Date(UTC), Depth_min/Profondeur_min(m), Depth_max/Profondeur_max(m), Diatoms/Diatomées(cells/L), Dinoflagellates/Dinoflagellés(cells/L), Flagellates/Flagellés(cells/L), Protozoans/Protozoaires(cells/L), Phytoplankton/Phytoplancton(cells/L)). Purpose The Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP) was implemented in 1998 with the aim of increasing the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s (DFO) capacity to detect, track and predict changes in the state and productivity of the marine environment. The AZMP collects data from a network of stations composed of high-frequency monitoring sites and cross-shelf sections in each following DFO region: Québec, Gulf, Maritimes and Newfoundland. The sampling design provides basic information on the natural variability in physical, chemical, and biological properties of the Northwest Atlantic continental shelf. Cross-shelf sections sampling provides detailed geographic information but is limited in a seasonal coverage while critically placed high-frequency monitoring sites complement the geography-based sampling by providing more detailed information on temporal changes in ecosystem properties. In Quebec region, two surveys (46 stations grouped into transects) are conducted every year, one in June and the other in autumn in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence. Historically, 3 fixed stations were sampled more frequently. One of these is the Rimouski station that still takes part of the program and is sampled about weekly throughout the summer and occasionally in the winter period. Annual reports (physical, biological and a Zonal Scientific Advice) are available from the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS), (http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/csas-sccs/index-eng.htm).

To recognize the importance of interoperable emergency communications in the context of protecting Canadians, a Specifications Committee for the Common Alert Protocol Canadian Profile (PC-PAC) 1.0 was formed by the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Interoperability Working Group (GTI FPT) of Senior Emergency Management Officials (CSRGU), with the support of the Interoperability Development Office (BDI) of Public Safety Canada (SP). The members of the PC-PAC 1.0 Specifications Committee, including the Quebec Ministry of Public Security (MSP), are responsible for developing, approving, and managing technical content requirements based on the specification documents for PC-PAC 1.0. For more details on the committee: https://www.securitepublique.gc.ca/cnt/mrgnc-mngmnt/mrgnc-prprdnss/capcp/index-fr.aspx. The PC-PAC is currently published in three documents: 1. Introduction to the PC-PAC and set of rules; 2. Lexicon of events; 3. Location lexicon. The content of the PC-PAC location lexicon is controlled independently of other documents, as it is expected that it may have more frequent updates over time, independent of PC-PAC 1.0. As part of the update of the PC-PAC location lexicon of version 1.0, the MSP decided to generate itself the list of location references, called geocodes, and associated polygons for the province of Quebec. The dataset of alert zones used in the National Public Alerting System — called Quebec Alert by the MSP — is the result of the generation of this list based on the official territorial boundaries of the Government of Quebec (http://geoboutique.mern.gouv.qc.ca/PDF_ZIP/Structure_CADM-20K.pdf). Geocodes and polygons are associated with the reference material from the PC-PAC location lexicon that accompanies PC-PAC 1.0. They are divided and generalized according to the territorial boundaries of regional county municipalities (RCMs) as well as municipalities, indigenous territories and unorganized territories. The generalization of polygons was decided in order to ensure complete coverage of territories and reduce the weight of polygons for rapid processing by distributors during an alert. Each polygon contains 1,500 vertices and has a buffer zone of 250 m around its true limit. The data architecture is the same as the lexicon of PC-PAC locations, which is that of Statistics Canada's Standard Geographical Classification system. Thus, the zone layer based on the territorial boundaries of MRCs is associated with that of the census division (“CD”) and the layer of areas based on the territorial boundaries of municipalities, indigenous territories and unorganized territories is associated with the census subdivision (“CSD”). The Ministry of Public Security strongly recommends that organizations that want to broadcast or distribute emergency alerts compatible with PC-PAC 1.0 in Quebec use these geocode and polygon datasets.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
