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.

A feature is a representation of a real world object, such as a lake, stream, dam or rapid. There are three hydrographic feature classes:  points, lines and polys.   All may impede or be hazardous to waterflow and/or navigation on a watercourse or waterbody. This data shows natural and manmade poly features.  Examples include: * break walls * dams * rapids * shipwrecks [Technical Bulletin: Data migrated to new Ontario Hydro Network (OHN) - Hydrographic Feature Data Classes (PDF)](http://geo2.scholarsportal.info/proxy.html?http:__maps.scholarsportal.info/files/PDFS/public/OGDE/OHN/TB-OHN-PostMigration_101112.pdf)

## GIS data containing the boundaries of Provincially Significant Employment Zones in the Greater Golden Horseshoe as identified by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing As areas of high economic output, provincially significant employment zones are strategically located to provide stable, reliable employment across the Greater Golden Horseshoe region. They provide opportunities to improve coordination between land use planning, economic development, and infrastructure investments to support investment and job creation over the longer-term.

The purpose of this dataset is to depict the boundaries of the Niagara Escarpment Plan. The outer boundary of the area covered by the Niagara Escarpment Plan is fixed and inflexible. It can only be changed by a plan amendment. It is formed by a combination of features like: * roads * railways * electrical transmission lines * municipal and property boundaries * lot lines * rivers * other topographic features [More information](http://www.escarpment.org)

Natural cover includes areas that have been mapped as woodlands (including plantations and hedgerows), wetlands and other rare vegetative cover communities. Data here represent areas outlined in the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan Policy 6.48 (June 2011). This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

This data breaks down spring, fall and total harvest numbers by: * wildlife management unit (WMU) * calendar year Harvest numbers are based on mandatory reports received from successful turkey licence holders. These are absolute numbers and are not statistically projected as with the bear, deer, and moose hunting activity and harvest estimates. Missing values represent no open season.

Get information on research plots for the Guide Effectiveness Monitoring Program This dataset includes ecological information for Guide Effectiveness Monitoring (GEM) Program site locations. The GEM Program evalutes the effectiveness of forest management guides on songbird occupancy rate and community structure. Learn about the procedures and protocols used for this study in the [Centre for Northern Forest Ecosystem Research Technical Report 004: Effectiveness Monitoring of Forest Management Guides](https://www.ontario.ca/page/catalogue-natural-resource-scientific-and-technical-publications).

This historic dataset delineates valley segments based on a number of different natural features. The data applies to valley segments on the Ontario side of the Great Lakes. Aquatic Landscape Inventory System (ALIS) has also been incorporated into the [Aquatic Ecosystem Classification: Great Lakes Basin and Wetlands Data Class](/dataset/aquatic-ecosystems-in-the-great-lakes-basin) and the Great Lakes Conservation Blueprint for Aquatic Biodiversity datasets. We are no longer updating this data. It is best suited for historical research and analysis.

Site Regions and Site Districts of Ontario represent an early Ecological Land Classification (ELC) system originally developed by Angus Hills. This dataset was revised by the ELC Working Group in 2000 to better reflect new information and new technology. The Site Regions of Ontario was used for descriptive, planning, and resource management purposes. This upper level in its hierarchy was most useful for provincial and regional roll-ups of data and for strategic planning. Site Districts of Ontario is a more detailed lower (finer-scale) level of the hierarchy, and was more useful for detailed resource management prescriptions and other local and site planning applications. This layer is designed to be used as a spatial selection tool and as a background layer suitable for overlay and or intersection with numerous scales or current hydrologic data.
