The ckanext-bcgov extension serves as a customization layer specifically for the BC Data Catalogue, aiming to tailor the system to the needs of the British Columbia government. This extension includes pre-built schema updates, theme changes, and integrated plugins to streamline data management and presentation within the CKAN environment, ensuring alignment with BC government standards. It leverages a set of preconfigured settings and data imports to establish a standardized, efficient, and visually cohesive data catalogue experience. Key Features: Schema Updates: Streamlines the data structure within the BC Data Catalogue by providing pre-defined schema updates, ensuring data consistency and compliance with BC government data standards.

This is spatial data depicting the cut block boundaries and year of harvest for crown lands within British Columbia. It is created from the provincial Forest Cover, from The RESULTS Reporting system, from Forest Tenures applications and from satellite imagery using change detection processes.

The purpose of this report is to present background information and survey results for fish passage inspections along the B.C. Rail grade located in the upper Skeena Watershed. In 2007, Gitksan Watershed Authorities (GWA) was retained by the Pacific Salmon Commission to conduct a Fish Passage and Culvert Inspection (FPCI) on all non-bridged B.C. Rail crossings of fish bearing streams in the upper Skeena Watershed. The primary objective of this project was to focus on increasing the abundance of fish stocks by opening freshwater habitat to salmon spawning and rearing. This project utilized the fish passage culvert inspection procedure developed to evaluate one of the most easily addressed fish habitat constraints: access to existing habitat. The methodology is based on the BC Government fish passage protocol outlined in Fish Passage – Culvert Inspection Procedures.

Areas representing environmental protection and management regulation through ministerial orders and agreements that recognize areas of importance. These ministerial orders represent Ungulate Winter Range, OGMA’s, Wildlife Habitat Areas, Community Watersheds and Fisheries Sensitive Areas. Additional recognized areas of importance include the Flathead Watershed Area, Caribou moratorium areas and most recently 8 areas representing "Blueberry River First Nations Designated Area No. 1" (Ministerial Order 405/2021 (gov.bc.ca))*WHSE_WILDLIFE_MANAGEMENT.WCP_WILDLIFE_HABITAT_AREA_POLYWildlife Habitat Areas - Approved - Datasets - Data Catalogue (gov.bc.ca)*WHSE_WILDLIFE_MANAGEMENT.WCP_UNGULATE_WINTER_RANGE_SPUngulate Winter Range - Approved - Datasets - Data Catalogue (gov.bc.ca)*WHSE_LAND_USE_PLANNING.RMP_OGMA_LEGAL_CURRENT_SVWOld Growth Management Areas - Legal - Current - Datasets - Data Catalogue (gov.bc.ca)WHSE_WATER_MANAGEMENT.WLS_COMMUNITY_WS_PUB_SVWCommunity Watersheds - Current - Datasets - Data Catalogue (gov.bc.ca)*WHSE_WILDLIFE_MANAGEMENT.WCP_FISH_SENSITIVE_WS_POLYFisheries Sensitive Watersheds - Datasets - Data Catalogue (gov.bc.ca)

HectaresBC provided web browser based access to visualize and analyze geospatial data that is grid based (100 meter X 100 meter cells). The system allowed users to easily create simple queries that combine multiple datasets and quantify values for different areas. This functionality allowed users to ask questions like “Where are the old pine forests that have more than 5 tons per hectare of biomass, within 500 meters of a road, on slopes with a gradient of 30 percent or less? What is this total biomass by forest district?” or “What is the total area covered by each Health Authority and how much of this area is within 800 meters of the coastline and has an average winter temperature below 5 Celsius?” The website is no longer available.

Access through GeoBC ParcelMap BC Parcel Fabric - Datasets - Data Catalogue (gov.bc.ca)ParcelMap BC is the single, complete, trusted and sustainable electronic map of active titled parcels and surveyed provincial Crown land parcels in British Columbia. This particular dataset is a subset of the complete ParcelMap BC data and is comprised of the parcel fabric and attributes for over two million parcels published under the Open Government Licence - British Columbia.

Province-wide SDE spatial view displaying dam locations. The public view displays a subset of the attribute data.

BC Airports identifies locations where aircraft may take-off and land. No guarantee is given that an identified point will be maintained to sufficient standards for landing and take-off of any/all aircraft. It includes airports, aerodromes, water aerodromes, heliports, and airstrips.

Geospatial forest inventory dataset updated for depletions, such as harvesting, and projected annually for growth. Sample attributes in this dataset include: age, species, volume, height. The Vegetation Resources Inventory (VRI) spatial datasets describe both where a vegetation resource (ie timber volume, tree species) is located and how much of a given resource is within an inventory unit.

Boundaries (polygons) of areas designated as community watershed by government - that are all or part of the drainage area that is upslope of the lowest point from which water is diverted for human consumption by a licensed waterworks, if satisfied that, to protect the water that is diverted for human consumption, the area requires special management that is not otherwise provided for under this regulation or other enactment: to conserve the quality, quantity and timing of water flow; or to prevent cumulative hydrological effects that would have a material adverse effect on the water.

NOTE This dataset is going to be replaced by the Data Catalogue layer: Forest Inventory Ground Plots - Public Access This new layer links to the updated database for all Forest Analysis and Inventory Branch ground sample plots. Growth and Yield dataset is a provincial data set that comprised of Permanent Sample Plots (PSP). Researchers such as GY modellers and those wanting to know the position of all samples will use the all status view to better understand the spatial distribution of historic measurement data including samples that are currently destroyed or inactive
