The Ontario Imagery Web Map Service (OIWMS) formerly known as the Ontario Imagery Service, provides online access to the most recent and highest quality aerial imagery of the province. Land Information Ontario (LIO) makes this data available as an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant web map service or as an ArcGIS map service. Imagery in this service was compiled from many different acquisitions which are detailed in the Ontario Imagery Web Map Service Metadata Guide attached below. Instructions on how to use the service can also be found in the Imagery User Guide attached below.This service was created with funds from those Ontario government ministries that contribute to the Land Information Ontario Imagery program. Access is restricted to these ministries and may be used in public ministry web mapping applications.Note: This map displays the Ontario Imagery Web Map Service Source, a companion ArcGIS web map service to the Ontario Imagery Web Map Service. It provides a scale-dependent overlay used to identify which imagery collections and tiles are being displayed within the service. Attribute data describes basic information and at what scales (based on a computer screen) the different imagery datasets are visible.Copy the URL below to first add the ArcGIS server into your GIS software, through catalog.ArcGIS Server Connection URLAvailable ProductsOntario Imagery Web Map ServiceOntario Imagery Web Map Service SourceAdditional DocumentationOntario Imagery Web Map Service Metadata Guide (PDF)Imagery User Guide (Word)Ontario Digital Imagery Licence (PDF)StatusCompleted: Production of the data has been completedMaintenance and Update FrequencyAnnually: Data is updated every yearContactOntario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry - Spatial Data Support Unit, imagery@ontario.ca

Zoom in on the map above and click your area of interest or use the Tile Index linked below to determine which package(s) you require for download. The Digital Elevation Models (DEM) are 2-m resolution raster elevation products that were generated from the Ontario Classified Point Cloud (Imagery-Derived) data. The point clouds were created via a pixel-autocorrelation process from the stereo aerial photography of the Land Information Ontario (LIO) imagery program. It is important to note that the DEM does not represent a full ‘bare-earth’ elevation surface. There are areas where there are very few points classified as Ground and interpolation has occurred across the resulting voids. Points classified as Ground have not been assessed for accuracy to determine if they represent true ground features. Some features are still raised above ground surface, such as larger buildings, larger forest stands and other raised features.
For more detailed information about this dataset, refer to the associated User Guide.
Now also available through a web service which exposes the data for visualization, geoprocessing and limited download.
The service is best accessed through the ArcGIS REST API, either directly or by setting up an ArcGIS server connection using the REST endpoint URL. The service draws using the Web Mercator projection.
For more information on what functionality is available and how to work with the service, read the Ontario Web Raster Services User Guide. If you have questions about how to use the service, email Land Information Ontario (LIO) at lio@ontario.ca.

Note: To visualize the data in the viewer, zoom into the area of interest. The National Air Photo Library (NAPL) of Natural Resources Canada archives over 6 million aerial photographs covering all of Canada, some of which date back to the 1920s. This collection includes Time Series of aerial orthophoto mosaics over a selection of major cities or targeted areas that allow the observation of various changes that occur over time in those selected regions. These mosaics are disseminated through the Data Cube Platform implemented by NRCan using geospatial big data management technologies. These technologies enable the rapid and efficient visualization of high-resolution geospatial data and allow for the rapid generation of dynamically derived products. The data is available as Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) for direct access and as Web Map Services (WMS) or Web Coverage Services (WCS) with a temporal dimension for consumption in Web or GIS applications. The NAPL mosaics are made from the best spatial resolution available for each time period, which means that the orthophotos composing a NAPL Time Series are not necessarily coregistrated. For this dataset, the spatial resolutions are: 75 cm for the year 1960 and 50 cm for the year 1974. The NAPL indexes and stores federal aerial photography for Canada, and maintains a comprehensive historical archive and public reference centre. The Earth Observation Data Management System (EODMS) online application allows clients to search and retrieve metadata for over 3 million out of 6 million air photos. The EODMS online application enables public and government users to search and order raw Government of Canada Earth Observation images and archived product managed by NRCan such as aerial photos and satellite imagery.

The Ontario Imagery Web Map Service (OIWMS) formerly known as the Ontario Imagery Service, provides online access to the most recent and highest quality aerial imagery of the province. Land Information Ontario (LIO) makes this data available as an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant web map service or as an ArcGIS map service. Imagery in this service was compiled from many different acquisitions which are detailed in the Ontario Imagery Web Map Service Metadata Guide attached below. Instructions on how to use the service can also be found in the Imagery User Guide attached below.This service was created with funds from those Ontario government ministries that contribute to the Land Information Ontario Imagery program. Access is restricted to these ministries and may be used in public ministry web mapping applications.Note: This map displays the Ontario Imagery Web Map Service Source, a companion ArcGIS web map service to the Ontario Imagery Web Map Service. It provides a scale-dependent overlay used to identify which imagery collections and tiles are being displayed within the service. Attribute data describes basic information and at what scales (based on a computer screen) the different imagery datasets are visible.Copy the URL below to first add the ArcGIS server into your GIS software, through catalog.ArcGIS Server Connection URLAvailable ProductsOntario Imagery Web Map ServiceOntario Imagery Web Map Service SourceAdditional DocumentationOntario Imagery Web Map Service Metadata Guide (PDF)Imagery User Guide (Word)Ontario Digital Imagery Licence (PDF)StatusCompleted: Production of the data has been completedMaintenance and Update FrequencyAnnually: Data is updated every yearContactOntario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry - Spatial Data Support Unit, imagery@ontario.ca
