The Big Picture 2002 is a legacy geographic information system (GIS) based landscape analysis. It is a partnership between the Nature Conservancy of Canada and the Ministry of Natural Resources’ Natural Heritage Information Centre. Many digital layers covering the Mixedwood Plains ecozone plus a portion of the Ontario Shield ecozone were compiled for this analysis. These layers include: * evaluated wetlands * forest cover * old growth forest * rare species and communities * waterbodies and watercourses * parks and protected areas * Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSIs) The data layers are overlaid in a GIS system and points are assigned to the features in each layer according to their conservation value. Core natural areas were identified by a combination of minimum size and a minimum point score per pixel. Potential linkages between these cores were computed by assigning scores to the landscape surrounding the cores based on the probable resistance to wildlife movement. We do not currently use this methodology for similar analyses.

The data identifies First Nation treaties and other agreements, such as land purchases by the Crown. This file was used to create a reference map illustrating the 46 treaties and other agreements signed between 1781 and 1930.

Gross merchantable volume - softwood (GMVSWD) is an expression of merchantable stem softwood volume (m3) on a per-hectare basis. Available here as a raster (GeoTIF) with a 20 m pixel resolution. Download: Here The Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment, Forest Service Branch, has developed a forest resource inventory (FRI) which meets a variety of strategic and operational planning information needs for the boreal plains. Such needs include information on the general land cover, terrain, and growing stock (height, diameter, basal area, timber volume and stem density) within the provincial forest and adjacent forest fringe. This inventory provides spatially explicit information as 10 m or 20 m raster grids and as vectors polygons for relatively homogeneous forest stands or naturally non-forested areas with a 0.5 ha minimum area and a 2.0 ha median area.  Gross merchantable volume per hectare - softwood (GMVSWD) is an expression of merchantable softwood stem volume (m3) on a per-hectare basis. Calculations are made assuming a cut-to-length scenario, and including all stem wood from a 30 cm stump height to an 8 cm top diameter (inside bark), with a minimum bole length of 5.1 m and a minimum log length of 2.4 m for softwood. GMVSWD is available here as a color-mapped 16-bit unsigned integer raster grid in GeoTIFF format with a 20 m pixel resolution. An ArcGIS Pro layer file (*.lyrx) is supplied for viewing GMVSWD data in the following 50 m3/ha categories. Domain: [NULL, 0…1000].

Map showing the locations of sites included in the Contaminated Sites Registry This map shows the locations of sites included in the Contaminated Sites Registry. There are three types of sites in the registry: Designated Contaminated, Designated Impacted, and Not Designated.  The data for this map are provided via a web csv file that is maintained by Environment, Climate and Parks staff. For more information visit Environment, Climate and Parks website.

This photo map allows a user to view the thousands of photographs collected as part of the NWT Ecosystem Classification program, in reference to the NWT landscape. Photos are viewable by zooming in to a minimum scale of 1:1,000,000 then hovering over a photo point to pop-up the image(s) at that location. At that scale, the flight lines turn off and the photo points turn on. A user may also generate reports of a selected photo(s) and its attributes by using the 'Create a Photo Summary Report' and using the drawing tools to make your selection.  For more information, please visit the Forest Resources website:

Forest Management in Canada Web Map: 2017 and 2020 Forest Management in Canada Web Map: 2017 and 2020 This web map is used in the Forest Management in Canada web application comparing maps from 2017 and 2020, both of which are part of the Story Map of Forest Management in Canada, 2020 (Aménagement des forêts au Canada, 2020). The Map of Forest Management in Canada provides a wall-to-wall classification of lands in Canada in 2017 and 2020. It does not differentiate areas of forest from non-forest. The Map of Forest Management in Canada differs from maps defining the area designated as “managed forest” for greenhouse gas inventory reporting purposes and does not replace those maps. Instead, the Map of Forest Management in Canada shows areas that are currently managed, and provides generalized management type classification for those areas. Collaborating agencies plan to update the dataset periodically as needed, and remain open to receiving advice from experts concerning refinement priorities for future versions. All forest management classification codes for 2020 are present in this web map and include:Water (Managed Forest Code 100) Protected (Managed Forest Code 20) Treaty/Settlement (Managed Forest Code 40) Federal Reserve (Managed Forest Code 31) Indian Reserve (Managed Forest Code 32) Restricted (Managed Forest Code 33) Private (Managed Forest Code 50) Long-Term Tenure (Managed Forest Code 11) Short-Term Tenure (Managed Forest Code 12) Other (Managed Forest Code 13) All forest management classification codes for 2017 are also present in this web map and include:Water (Managed Forest Code 100) Protected (Managed Forest Code 20) Treaty/Settlement (Managed Forest Code 40) Federal Reserve (Managed Forest Code 31) Indian Reserve (Managed Forest Code 32) Restricted (Managed Forest Code 33) Private (Managed Forest Code 50) Long-Term Tenure (Managed Forest Code 11) Short-Term Tenure (Managed Forest Code 12) Other (Managed Forest Code 13)

Interactive app illustrates the locations of licensed personal care home facilities in Manitoba. This interactive app shows the locations of licensed personal care home facilities in Manitoba and provides public access to reports completed by the Licensing and Compliance Branch of Manitoba Health, Seniors and Active Living for personal care home standards reviews.  Each report identifies the standards and performance measures evaluated during the course of each review as well as a summary of findings including any areas of non-compliance requiring follow-up by the PCH.  Information contained in the reports is reflective of what was observed or assessed on the day of the review only.  Licensed personal care home operators are directly responsible to the regional health authority under whose jurisdiction they operate and questions regarding the current status of any concerns identified in standards review reports should be directed to either the personal care home or their regional health authority. This app utilizes the Manitoba Personal Care Home Reporting Map.
