Point locations of water and weather monitoring stations used by the [Surface Water Monitoring Centre](http://www.ontario.ca/page/surface-water-monitoring-centre) to assess flood and drought conditions across Ontario. Monitoring station types include: * streamflow gauge stations * Environment and Climate Change Canada climate stations * Ministry of Transportation road weather stations * Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) fire weather stations * MNR snow network stations (wildlife) * MNR snow survey stations (weather) * Ontario Power Generation snow survey stations (weather)

Fisheries Management Zones have replaced former Fishing Divisions and are the geographic basis for managing, monitoring, assessing and regulating recreational fisheries for a majority of lakes and streams in a zone. Each zone is based on angler usage and ecological/geographic patterns such as climate zones, watersheds and road networks. This product requires the use of GIS software. *[GIS]: geographic information system

* This dataset is updated on a daily basis. The ‘Record Modified’ date refers to the last metadata update. This dataset contains polygon areas that represent the locations of coal exploration licences granted in Nunavut.. For more information, visit https://www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/1100100036000/1547749889500. Note: This is one of the four (4) datasets that describe mineral tenure in Nunavut. It includes mineral claims, mining leases, prospecting permits as well as coal exploration licences.

NGO Nature Reserves are polygon features describing lands held by nature trusts and other non-government agencies for the purpose of nature conservation. We are no longer updating this data. It is best suited for historical research and analysis. This product requires the use of GIS software. *[NGO]: non-government agency *[GIS]: geographic information system

This data set shows utility points that provide services for: * power * water * communications * heating fuel They include: * fibre optic stations * hydro stations * lock pumping stations This product requires the use of GIS software. *[GIS]: geographic information system

This dataset contains the Great Lakes Shoreline Ecosystem (GLSE) inventory, which is a geospatial digital inventory of: * ecosite polygon mapping * field survey calibration points * associated ground level ecological data It replaces Great Lakes Shoreline Ecosystem mapping products versions 1.0 and 2.0. It is an update to those products and includes the data and information contained in them but now includes data and information for the entire Canadian side of the Great Lakes shoreline including connecting channels, from the land to water or wetland interface to two kilometers inland. Mapping and ground sampling adheres to the Great Lakes Shoreline Ecosystem classification system, (Lee et. al., in prep.) which is a detailed ecological classification and surveying method.

This dataset contains a list of soil erosion control contractors in Ontario who offer design and construction services to landowners to help control soil erosion on agricultural land. The list is maintained by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness (OMAFA) and includes contact names, business names, addresses and telephone numbers. The list is updated annually in April. These contractors hold a valid Certificate of Achievement from OMAFA. Holders of the Soil Erosion Control Contractors Certificate of Achievement have attended formal training developed and delivered by OMAFA and have passed an examination that tests their skill and knowledge in the area of design and installation of select soil erosion control structures such as grassed waterways, water and sediment control basins (WASCoBs) and rock chutes. More information can be found at [Soil erosion control contractors certificate holders](https://www.ontario.ca/page/soil-erosion-control-contractors-certificate-holders).

Data set includes the smaller areas of sensitivity (a standard radius around water intake points) and the larger areas of concern (determined by land, soil and water characteristics of the surrounding area).

The Ontario Trail Network (OTN) contains geospatial networks of trails in urban, rural and wilderness settings that are managed by a named organization for transportation, recreation, active living or tourism purposes. The OTN relies on data sharing partnerships with local trail organizations and municipal, provincial and federal governments for ongoing updates and maintenance. Trails in the OTN must be: * associated with a named trail organization * intended for free or paid public access * marked and maintained The OTN collection includes two data classes: * Ontario Trail Network segment derived * Ontario Trail Network access points __Ontario Trail Network segment derived__ This spatial dataset represents segments of trails in the OTN. Trail segments define a linear corridor through the natural or urban environment. The corridors may be single segments or form a looping system. The data includes characteristics about each trail, such as: * trail name * trail association * permitted use * description * length Examples of trail types include: * hiking or walking * cycling * cross-country skiing and snowshoeing * paddling and portage * equestrian * snowmobiling, all terrain vehicle and off-road motorcycle * barrier free (wheelchair accessible) * ice skating Some trail networks have official access points. You can find the location of these points in the OTN_ACCESS_POINT spatial dataset. __Ontario Trail Network access points__ This spatial dataset represents the main access points to a trail system that is part of the OTN. This layer should be used together with OTN Segment Derived. Access points can be spatially related to a trail network based on relative location to a trail segment. Not all trail networks will have official access points.

MNR regions were created to help manage ministry programs and resources at a regional level. Extents of the regions were originally compiled by description of: metes and bounds, topographic features, geographic township boundaries, territorial district boundaries, etc. MNR regions consist of a number of districts. This product requires the use of GIS software. *[MNR]: Ministry of Natural Resources *[GIS]: Geographic Information System
