The Atlas of Canada's Web Mapping Service (WMS) is an Internet-based service designed to provide developers of on-line mapping tools access to the Atlas of Canada's Framework Data Sets. By using this service, developers gain access to our most current and accurate base data for rendering customized maps. Our OGC-compliant WMS technology will be provided free of charge and does not require a contract, license agreement or any special software systems - only a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. This WMS provides access to five different Framework Data Sets (world, North ciccumpolar region, North America, Canada 7.5 million, and Canada 1 million). Each Framework Data sets provides is a set of integrated base map layers depicting the locations of features such as hydrology, roads, railways, populated places and administrative boundaries. A number of non-standard projections are available via this WMS. They are: 54003 - World Miller Cylindrical, 54004 - World Mercator, 54008 - World Sinusoidal, 54009 - World Mollweide, 54030 - World Robinson, 102016 - North Pole Azimuthal Equidistant, 102017 - North Pole Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area, 102018 - North Pole Stereographic, 102008 - North America Albers Equal Area Conic, and 102009 - North America Lambert Conformal Conic.

Geological formations data served by the Geological Survey of Canada.

This is the reference implementation of WFS 1.0.0 and WFS 1.1.0, supports all WFS operations including Transaction.

GDR_E Web Map Service (ArcIMS 9.3.1)

Map of all groundwater wells and groundwater monitoring stations registered in GIN (Groundwater Information Network) and additional references layers related to Groundwater Geoscience Program of Natural Resources Canada. This data is distributed amongst several database and mediated to a single entry point dynamically. Some layers that have large amount of features will display generalised maps at national scale in order to improve drawing performance and then switch to individual features at local scale.

A compliant implementation of WMS plus most of the SLD extension (dynamic styling). Can also generate PDF, SVG, KML, GeoRSS
