This data set presents the places of interest in the City of Montreal according to the classification carried out as part of the Montreal on Foot (MàP) initiative in 2020. The Montréal à Pied project aims to improve orientation and pedestrian paths throughout Montreal. Although the data concern the territory of the boroughs, places of interest may be located on the territory of linked cities for a better coherence of geographic information.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Le Canada est divisé en 308 circonscriptions. Un représentant du Parlement ou député est élu pour chacune des circonscriptions. Après la diffusion des chiffres de population de chaque recensement décennal, le directeur général des élections détermine le nombre de sièges à la Chambre des communes et publie cette information dans la Gazette du Canada. Les commissions de délimitation des circonscriptions déterminent ensuite les modifications à apporter aux limites des circonscriptions. Les commissions de délimitation des circonscriptions fédérales sont des organismes indépendants qui prennent toutes les décisions concernant les limites proposées et définitives des circonscriptions fédérales. Élections Canada offre des services de soutien à la commission de délimitation des circonscriptions dans chaque province. À la lumière des rapports de ces commissions, le directeur général des élections prépare une ordonnance de représentation faisant état des limites, du nom et de la population de chaque CF. L'ordonnance de représentation prend effet à la première dissolution du Parlement qui se produit au moins un an après sa proclamation. L'Ordonnance de représentation de 2003 (proclamée le 25 août 2003) était fondée sur les chiffres de population du recensement de 2001; le nombre de CF, établi à 301 selon l'Ordonnance de représentation de 1996, est passé à 308. L'Ontario s'est accru de trois sièges, alors que l'Alberta et la Colombie-Britannique en ont gagné deux chacun. Le 19 juin 2014, la Loi de 2014 sur les changements de noms de circonscriptions (Projet de loi C-37) a reçu la sanction royale modifiant le nom de la CF de Western Arctic à Territoires du Nord-Ouest. Le nom des CF peut être modifié n'importe quand par une loi fédérale.

Élections Canada offre des services de soutien à la commission de délimitation des circonscriptions dans chaque province. À la lumière des rapports de ces commissions, le directeur général des élections prépare un décret de représentation électorale faisant état des limites, du nom et de la population de chaque CF. Le décret de représentation électorale prend effet à la première dissolution du Parlement qui se produit au moins sept mois après sa proclamation. Le décret de représentation électorale de 2013 (proclamée le 5 octobre 2013) était fondée sur les chiffres de population du recensement de 2011; le nombre de CF, établi à 308 selon le décret de représentation électorale de 2003, est passé à 338. L’Ontario s’est accru de quinze sièges, l’Alberta et la Colombie-Britannique en ont gagné six chacun, alors que le Québec en a ajouté trois. Le 19 juin 2014, la Loi de 2014 sur les changements de noms de circonscriptions (Projet de loi C-37) a reçu la sanction royale modifiant les noms de 31 CF. Le nom des CF peut être modifié n’importe quand par une loi fédérale.

__The link: *Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset Description Sheets; Additional Information*__. Ecoforest maps have been produced at a scale of 1/10,000 since 2025 (previously, they were distributed at a scale of 1/20,000) and illustrate forest information for Quebec territory up to approximately the 52nd parallel. They offer an up-to-date image of the ecoforest map for the year of production. The maps represent the result of the photo-interpretation of aerial photographs taken during the most recent ecoforestry inventory of southern Quebec to which were added natural disturbances (fires, epidemics, windfalls, etc.) and forest interventions (harvesting, thinning and reforestation) carried out in the public forest following the year in which they were taken. Vegetation information specific to each stand is expressed in detailed species (AIPF) when information is available for a complete sheet. Otherwise, vegetation is expressed as a group of species. Each map at a scale of **1/10,000** covers an average area of approximately **62.5 km²** and presents forest information for the target territory. Its accuracy is approximately ± 5 m. Each map at a scale of **1/20,000** covers an average area of approximately **250 km²** and presents forest information for the target territory. Its accuracy is approximately ± 10 m. ## Descriptions of maps and components ### 2025 maps: + Scale (1/10,000); + Replacing the BDTQ level curves with those from the lidar; + Characterization of vegetation by detailed species (AIPF) or by grouping of species, depending on the availability of information; + Maps based on up-to-date ecoforest maps from the 4th and 5th inventories. ### Maps 2021 to 2024: + Scale (1/20,000); + Characterization of vegetation by detailed species (AIPF) or by grouping of species, depending on the availability of information; + Maps based on up-to-date ecoforest maps from the 4th and 5th inventories. ### 2019 and 2020 maps: + Scale (1/20,000); + Characterization of vegetation by grouping of species; + Maps based on up-to-date ecoforest maps from the 4th and 5th inventories. ### 2015 maps: + Scale (1/20,000); + Characterization of vegetation by grouping of species; + Maps based on up-to-date ecoforest maps from the 3rd and 4th inventories. ## ⚠️ Notes: + Forest codes vary depending on the inventory; **consult the legend** of the map. + The maps are **georeferenced** and optimized for printing. + **AIPF**: The AIPF (**forest stand inventory approach**) is a method used in Quebec for ecoforest stratification to classify forests according to their populations and including updates compared to previous inventories.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

__The link: *Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset Description Sheets; Additional Information*__. Formerly, forest maps were produced by the Land Survey Department of the Ministry of Lands and Forests. Some of these maps dating **from 1924 to 1946** still exist and are treasured at the National Archives of Quebec. The information they contain makes it possible to locate and characterize forest areas in certain regions of Quebec. Color codes were then assigned for each of the following classes: young forests, old forests, burned, logged, rocky, savannas, and colonization. **These historical forest maps are available in two digital formats (PDF and TIFF) . ** **This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Small area data (SAD) on field crops show seeded and harvested area, yield and production estimates for most principal field crops and some special crops in Canada. Most SAD geographies correspond exactly with the Census Agriculture Region (CAR) limits, excepts for some regions of Quebec (where small areas are defined by provincial administrative boundaries), Saskatchewan (where small areas coincide with census divisions boundaries as of 2017) and British Columbia. For exact correspondence between Census Agricultural Regions (CAR) and Small Area Data (SAD) Regions, see the following link: https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/statistical-programs/document/3401_D2_V2 These regions are associated with Statistics Canada estimates on principal field crops available in the following table: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=3210000201

Produced as part of the St. Lawrence Action Plan, the Atlas of Territories of Conservation Interest in the St. Lawrence Lowlands shows the sites where conservation needs are the most pressing. The conservation targets selected (coarse filter) are forest environments, wetlands, open environments (wastelands, perennial crops) and aquatic environments to which are added elements of the fine filter such as exceptional aquatic environments associated with the St. Lawrence corridor (e.g. spawning grounds), alvars, bird colonies, wildlife elements (e.g. nesting sites of Bank Swallows and Chimney Swift, etc.) and important floristic occurrences. Our objective is to determine the sites of interest until a representative threshold of 20% is reached. The geospatial data associated with sites of interest for conservation, the user guide, the methodological report, the metadata as well as the detailed mapping of land use in the St. Lawrence Lowlands, which was an essential basic data for producing this atlas, are available for download. Users can therefore more accurately consult the spatial distribution of sites of interest and the conservation value associated with each plot of habitat for conservation targets (forest environments, wetlands, wastelands, perennial crops, aquatic environments) using geographic information systems (e.g. ArcGIS). Users can also adapt the analysis of this data to their territorial reality and according to specific objectives specific to their interests. Since the conservation of natural environments and species in precarious situations is a shared responsibility, this Atlas will make it possible to meet the priorities of the many organizations involved in the conservation of natural environments in the St. Lawrence Lowlands.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Map indexes are grids that divide the territory into several sheets for the whole of Quebec. The use of these indexes allows the identification of a map sheet number for a specific territory at the scale of 1/2,000, 1/20,000 and 1/100,000. The cartographic indexes come from the Quebec cartographic reference system (S.Q.R.C), which divides the territory into hierarchical units and at different scales (1/100,000, 1/20,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/5,000, 1/5,000, 1/5,000, 1/1,000). This system is compatible with the [**National Cartographic Reference System (S.N.R.C) **] (https://ressources-naturelles.canada.ca/sciences-terre/geographie/information-topographique/cartes/9766).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
