Get mapping data related to the Northwest Greater Toronto Area Transmission Corridor Identification Study. In June 2019, the Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines along with Ontario’s electricity system planner, the Independent Electricity System Operator, launched the Northwest GTA Transmission Corridor Identification Study to identify an appropriate corridor of land for use by future power lines if and when the need arises.

This dataset provides a listing and relevant details for forest resource processing facilities (mills) that are licensed and operating or require a licence to operate in Ontario. Contents include: * Facility Code * Name * Facility Type * MNRF Region * Address * City * Province * Postal Code * Latitudinal and Longitudinal Coordinates All facilities that use 1,000 cubic metres or more of forest resources in one year require a facility licence.

This information is used  to manage oil and gas rights on offshore Crown lands in Ontario. A grid system of blocks and tracts is used to divide the area. 1 block =  5 minute longitude by 5 minute latitude numbered area. 1 tract =  1 minute longitude by 1 minute latitude area, assigned by letters . 1 block contains 25 tracts. This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

The Ontario in-filled climate data collection includes information from 339 monitoring stations maintained by the Meteorological Service of Canada. Historical climate data commonly has missing hourly and daily records due to equipment malfunctions, temporary site maintenance or other reasons. “In-filling” is a technical process that draws on data from nearby stations to fill in these missing records. This collection contains fully in-filled precipitation and temperature records for Ontario from 1950 to 2005. It is organized into eight separate databases in Microsoft Access format. One of the databases contains daily in-filled climate records. The remaining seven databases contain hourly in-filled climate records divided into regions for manageability.

This dataset was created to: * better understand the state of the shoreline * track changes over time * identify priority areas for restoration The dataset provides important information for fish and wildlife habitat assessments. This includes identification of significant fish and wildlife areas and habitats like wetlands, woodlands, spawning habitat and biological productive areas. The dataset contains 2 spatial files: * a vector linear layer representing shoreline reaches * another vector polygon layer capturing shoreline and near-shore structures

Includes: * contour land * contour land approximate * contour land auxiliary/interpolated * contour land depression In southern Ontario the contour interval is 5 meters. In the near north the contour interval is 10 meters. In the Far North the contour interval depends on the information source. Data is collected on an irregular basis.

Bathymetry line data was collected to assess fish habitat in Ontario. Spot depths (bathymetry points) were used to measure the depth contours, which function like isobars to show lines of constant depth. Their density and positional accuracies vary depending on the survey style and parameters. This data should never be used for navigation.

The Baseline hydrology statistics (stream flow regime) in the Southwestern Hudson Bay and Nelson River watershed systems were produced for the Water Survey of Canada's HYDAT database. These baseline statistics provide information on the water quantity at each Water Survey Canada gauge location . They also provide a summary at a primary watershed scale. This data helps address the previous data gaps in the Far North region. Applications include: * land use planning * integrated watershed management * climate change studies * hydropower studies

The Ministry of Natural Resources defines ecological units on the basis of bedrock, climate (temperature, precipitation), physiography (soils, slope, aspect) and corresponding vegetation. This enhances their compatibility with national and continental classification systems. The ecological land classification (ELC) of Ontario is used for descriptive, planning, and resource management purposes. The upper levels in its hierarchy may be relevant for provincial and municipal land-use planning initiatives. The lower (finer-scale) levels of the hierarchy are most useful for detailed resource management prescriptions and other local and site planning applications. This packaged dataset is classified into 3 hierarchical categories: * Ecozone: used for national and coarse-scale provincial reporting such as analyses of climate, demographics and watersheds * Ecoregion: used for determining the significance or status of wetland classes and certain other natural heritage features (e.g., old growth forest), setting targets for Wilderness Class Provincial parks, State of the Forest reporting and studying natural disturbance regimes * Ecodistrict used for assessing biodiversity levels, defining seed zones, mapping ecosystem types and setting targets for the identification of natural heritage systems [Introduction to ecological land classification](https://www.ontario.ca/page/introduction- ecological-land-classification-systems)

Get a list of provincially licensed operators that collect, transport, process and dispose of deadstock (dead farm animals) in Ontario. This dataset includes facility type, name, location/region and contact information of licensed deadstock operators in Ontario. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness and the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, in consultation with stakeholders, have developed regulations for the disposal of deadstock (dead farm animals) in Ontario. The regulations provide more disposal options for livestock producers and meat plant operators, with measures to protect the environment.
