Built-Up Areas are man-made land cover features, ranging from small hamlets at rural cross roads to large cities. This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

Travel Information Centres are available throughout the province of Ontario, and offer tourists and travelers insight and information about Ontario. For more details about these centres, please visit [Info Centres](https://www.destinationontario.com/en-ca). Travel Information Centres can also be viewed on a map, by visiting [Ontario 511](https://511on.ca), and can be found under the "service" layer.

The digital atlas contains distribution information of dominant forest plants, species assemblages (vegetation types), and some habitat and structural characteristics for the eco-district 6e10 and Greater Park Ecosystem (GPE) — St. Lawrence Islands National Park. We used statistical modeling and prediction to make the distributional information for the entire study area. We extrapolated information from geo-referenced vegetation data collected during summers from 2005 to 2007 with other spatial layers, such as digital elevation and remote sensing derivatives. The maps are in raster (grid) format at a 10m resolution. You can navigate them by following the documents and readme files in the individual folders or in the main document folder called ‘6e10_documents’. In southern Ontario, there is a lack of current ‘wall-to wall’, fine-scale, vegetation class and species vegetation mapping to support diverse applications and initiatives related to natural resource management, conservation and landscape and land-use planning. These maps could serve as baseline information for: * natural heritage design and planning * Species at Risk (SAR) recovery planning * state of biodiversity reporting * forest management and planning * invasive species management * ecological goods and services estimates * wildlife habitat modeling and mapping * additional applications and research techniques * requiring mapped vegetation information __How to reference this dataset__ This product should be referenced as: Puric-Mladenovic, Danijela, Julia Buck; David Bradley, Robert Arends, Silvia Strobl, and Nayna Khalatkar (2008). _Digital atlas of predicted species distributions, vegetation assemblages and habitat characteristics for the eco-district 6e10 and GPE — St. Lawrence Islands National Park’_, version 1.0.. Information Management and Spatial Analysis Unit, Southern Science and Information Section, OMNR, Peterborough, Ontario. __Additional time period information__ Field sampling was collected during the summer months from 2005 to 2007. The following activities took place during 2008: * spectral and environmental data assembly * predictive modelling and mapping Alternate title: Plant atlas for St. Lawrence Islands National Park

[ARCHIVED] Amendments to the Mortgage Act came into effect Nov 1, 2021 which created new mortgage license types and a new public register of licensed mortgage brokerages, mortgage lenders and mortgage administrators. Please refer to the new public register for current data: https://beta.novascotia.ca/licensed-mortgage-brokers-and-associate-mortgage-brokers. A mortgage broker is person who functions for a fee as an intermediary between a borrower and lender in securing a mortgage from a lender

A trapline area is a polygon feature that identifies a ministry-regulated boundary used to administer traplines and fur management programs.

## Get data on boundaries of local climatic areas used for forest fire weather forecasting. This dataset shows the boundaries of administrative areas used for forest fire weather forecasting. North of the French River, boundaries correspond closely with Environment Canada’s areas for public weather forecasting. South of the French River, 25 Environment Canada areas are combined into six larger areas for provincial forecasting.

The goal of this carbon cycle study is to: * better understand wetland carbon uptake and losses to the atmosphere across watersheds * evaluate wetland carbon’s usefulness as a natural climate solution __Study sites__ Study sites for this project are: * Big Creek Watershed in Southern Ontario * White River in the experimental forest area in Northern Ontario We chose these sites to represent relatively data-scarce regions of Ontario, and locations that represent: * recently restored wetland * an undisturbed wetland These locations can show how wetlands can act as natural climate solutions. __Wetlands and climate change__ Wetlands absorb and release atmospheric carbon as plants grow and decompose. If wetlands absorb more carbon than they release, they can act as natural climate solutions. Wetland restoration and wetland preservation: * promotes carbon uptake by wetlands in Ontario * slows future climate warming Wetland carbon exchange with the atmosphere varies immensely across space and time. These continuous measurements are used to: * calculate the amount of carbon moving between the air, plants and soils of wetlands * improve numerical models that will help us predict how wetland carbon exchanges might respond to climate warming at these locations and other locations __Download the study data__ We submit this data to Ameriflux, which is a network of sites measuring ecosystem CO2, water and energy fluxes in North, Central and South America. You can download the data from [Ameriflux](https://ameriflux.lbl.gov/).

The Ministry of Health Service Provider Locations (MOHSERLO) geospatial dataset contains the locations of health service providers in Ontario.

The Ontario Stewardship Program has established Stewardship Councils across Ontario. Ministry of Natural Resources staff no longer directly administer and support Ontario Stewardship Councils. Community-based partners and stakeholders now independently administer Stewardship Councils. We are no longer updating this data. It is best suited for historical research and analysis. __Stewardship Zone__ The Ontario Stewardship Program divides the province into four administrative regions or zones. Any given Stewardship Council will fall into one of these zones. __Stewardship Council Area__ The Ontario Stewardship Program established Stewardship Councils across southern Ontario and a portion of Northern Ontario. Where these councils have defined administrative boundaries, the location is stored in this data class. __Stewardship Council Location__ Most councils have established administrative boundaries that generally conform to upper tier municipalities. There are some councils in Northern Ontario which are generally located in and around a certain geographic location but do not have established administrative boundaries. This data class is primarily used to store point locations associated with these northern councils.

This dataset was created to establish a permanent boundary. Lands within this boundary are subject to the principles contained in the Oak Ridges Moraine Legislation. Boundary is complete as of October, 2001.
