In 2015, a magnitude 4.7 earthquake occurred 60 km beneath Sidney, BC. This scenario visualizes the effects of that event if it had a magnitude of 7.1.

In 1997, a magnitude 4.6 earthquake occurred 3 to 4 km beneath the Strait of Georgia. This scenario visualizes the effects of that event if it had a magnitude of 7.0, and represents a strong ground shaking event that could strike Metro Vancouver.

Magnitude 5.5 earthquake scenario located directly southeast of Ladysmith Town Centre. This fault is not known to be active, but this scenario represents a small but damaging event near Ladysmith and Burleith Arm.

In 1949 a magnitude 8.1 earthquake occurred on the Queen Charlotte Fault, off the west coast of the Haida Gwaii archipelago. This magnitude 8.0 scenario along the Queen Charlotte Fault is slightly different and closer to population centres than the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that occurred in 2012.

Full rupture of the Leech River Fault, a fault that cuts southern Vancouver Island and extends beneath Greater Victoria. Based on current science, this magnitude 7.3 earthquake scenario represents the strongest ground shaking event that could strike the region, and is one of Greater Victoria’s most severe events.

Magnitude 5.2 earthquake scenario along the Vedder Fault which runs northeast along Vedder Mountain. This earthquake is located about 18 km east of Abbotsford City Hall. This fault is not known to be active, but this scenario represents a small but damaging event near Abbotsford town centre.

This cartographic dataset of areas of importance for spring herring in the Magdalen Islands was produced by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and the Magdalen Islands ZIP Committee, as part of the work to characterize the Magdalen Islands Lagoons Marine Refuge. The initiative aimed to document fishermen's ecological knowledge of spring herring, including good fishing areas and spawning grounds around the archipelago. The data comes from interviews conducted between January and April 2024 with the most experienced fishermen in the archipelago. During the interviews, participants identified directly on digital maps the locations associated with four types of observations made throughout their careers: • Question 8 — Good fishing sites; • Question 9 — Other observations of high concentrations of the resource; • Question 13a — Spawning areas and; • Question 13b — Other observations of signs of spawning. To facilitate temporal contextualization, a four-period timeline (before 1996, 1996-2002, 2003-2006, and 2007-2021) was used. The final product is a GeoPackage (.gpkg) containing 16 vector layers composed of four layers per observation type, each corresponding to one of the defined time periods. The polygons were classified according to the number of fishermen who reported each location, making it possible to assess the degree of overlap and the relative importance of the areas over time. The data are projected in NAD83 / MTM zone 4. For more information on the methodology and data, see Burbank et al. (2025). Additional information specific to the Magdalen Islands lagoons is presented in Grégoire et al. (2026).

The City of Montreal is responsible for the development, maintenance and management of the network of bicycle paths located on its territory. Knowledge of the condition and condition of this network is an important element in the process of management, determining needs and establishing an adequate level of service for users. To obtain this information relating to the condition of the roads, auscultation campaigns using specialized equipment are carried out from time to time. **This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Magnitude 4.9 earthquake scenario along the Vedder Fault which runs northeast along Vedder Mountain. This earthquake is located about 18 km east of Abbotsford City Hall. This fault is not known to be active, but this scenario represents a small but damaging event near Abbotsford town centre.

Full rupture of the Cascadia interface fault, the fault defining the boundary between the North American and Pacific Ocean plates. This magnitude 9.0 event, often referred to as ‘The Big One’, affects most communities in southwestern British Columbia.
