The National Ecological Framework for Canada (v2.2) provides a consistent, national spatial framework that allows various ecosystems to be described, monitored and reported on. It provides standard ecological units that allow different jurisdictions and disciplines to use common communication and reporting, and a common ground to report on the state of the environment and the sustainability of ecosystems in Canada. The framework was developed between 1991 and 1999 by the Ecosystems Science Directorate, Environment Canada and the Center for Land and Biological Resources Research, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Over 100 federal and provincial agencies, non-governmental organizations and private sector companies contributed to its development.

As part of a scientific assessment of critical habitat for boreal woodland caribou (Environment Canada 2011, see full reference in accompanying documentation), Environment Canada's Landscape Science and Technology Division was tasked with providing detailed anthropogenic disturbance mapping, across known caribou ranges, as of 2015. This data comprises a 5-year update to the mapping of 2008-2010 disturbances, and allows researchers to better understand the attributes that have a known effect on caribou population persistence. For this 2015 update an additional, separate higher-resolution database was created by repeating the process using 15-metre panchromatic imagery. For the 30-metre database only, the line and poly data were buffered by a 500-metre radius, representing their extended zone of impact upon boreal caribou herds. Additionally, forest fire polygons were merged into the anthropogenic footprint in order to create an overall disturbance footprint. These buffered datasets were used in the calculation of range disturbance levels and for integrated risk assessment analysis. / Dans le cadre d'une évaluation scientifique de l'habitat essentiel du caribou des bois boréal (Environnement Canada, 2011, voir la référence complète dans la documentation compagnement), la division de la science et de la technologie du paysage d'Environnement Canada avait pour tâche de fournir une cartographie détaillée des perturbations anthropiques, à partir de 2015, à travers les aires de répartition connues du caribou. Ces données comprennent une mise à jour quinquennale de la cartographie des perturbations de 2008-2010 et permettent aux chercheurs de mieux comprendre les attributs qui ont un effet connu sur la persistance de la population de caribou. Pour cette mise à jour de 2015, une base de données distincte, à résolution supérieure, a été créée en répétant le processus à l'aide d'images panchromatiques de 15 mètres. Pour la base de données de 30 mètres seulement, les données de ligne et les données poly ont été mises en mémoire tampon dans un rayon de 500 mètres, représentant leur zone d'impact étendue sur les troupeaux de caribou boréal. De plus, les polygones d'incendies de forêt ont été fusionnés dans l'empreinte anthropique afin de créer une empreinte de perturbation globale. Ces jeux de données tamponnés ont été utilisés dans le calcul des niveaux de perturbation des aires et dans l'analyse intégrée d'évaluation des risques.

Canada is divided into 308 electoral districts. A representative or member of Parliament is elected for each electoral district. Following the release of population counts from each decennial census, the Chief Electoral Officer determines the number of seats in the House of Commons and publishes the information in the Canada Gazette. Electoral boundaries commissions then determine the adjustments to the constituency boundaries. The federal electoral boundaries commissions are independent bodies that make all decisions regarding the proposed and final federal electoral boundaries. Elections Canada provides support services to the boundaries commission in each province. Based on reports from these commissions, the Chief Electoral Officer prepares a representation order that describes the boundaries and specifies the name and the population of each FED. The representation order is in force on the first dissolution of Parliament that occurs at least one year after its proclamation. The 2003 Representation Order (proclaimed on August 25, 2003) was based on 2001 Census population counts, and increased the number of FEDs to 308, up from 301 from the previous 1996 Representation Order. Ontario received three additional seats, while Alberta and British Columbia each gained two seats. The names of FEDs may change at any time through an Act of Parliament.
