This dataset consists of the tabular data files used to create a database of energy activities led by co-operatives, the Canadian Community and Co-operative Energy Database (CCED). The CCED and the map it enables, the Canadian Renewable Energy Co-operative Map, extends the analysis of energy activities done by Fezulla, Pare, and Parkins' 2024 Canadian Renewable Energy and Battery Storage Map (CREBS) project. The CCED builds on existing outdated or more narrowly focused datasets of Canadian energy co-operatives, extending beyond power generation to grid ownership, electricity retailing, and installation of energy equipment for demand management and efficiency purposes. These key sources of data included the 2023 Census of Renewable Energy Co-operatives (Leonhardt, R., Pigeon, M.-A., & Boucher, M. 2022) which focused only on generation co-operatives but not the range and location of projects across Canada. It also included the outdated datasets in MacArthur (2016) and MacArthur and Hoicka (2018), and more geographically focused (Ontario) data from Tarhan (2025). The CCED updated and supplemented these existing datasets, classifying entries based on the primary activities and geographic location. Additional data sources included the Ontario Feed-in Tariff Program awarded projects data, the Nova Scotia Community Feed-in Tariff Program project data, the Bullfrog Community Projects website, the Federal Clean Energy for Rural and Remote Communities (CERRC) initiative, Community Energy Co-operative Canada (CECC), and online research based on Co-operatives and Mutuals Canada data. More detail on the data sources and gaps is outlined in the methodology section below. The entries in the CCED database that were active as of March 2025 were mapped using ArcGIS Online to the Canadian Renewable Energy Electricity Co-operative Map, which shows the key projects and activities undertaken by co-operatives in the energy section. The names of the map layers created, Co-Operative Renewable Electricity Generation and Other-Co-operative Energy Activity, correspond to the names of the data files found in this dataset. Methodology and data sources, including information on data gaps, can be found in the included PDF.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate that shows maps of earthquakes, magnetism and tides across Canada. The two larger upper maps on this plate show geomagnetism. Since the North Magnetic Pole is in a different position from the Geographical North Pole, and the lines of the earths magnetic forces are deflected by various agencies, the compass needle does not point toward the Geographical North Pole in most locations. The deflection of the compass needle from True North is called magnetic variation or declination. Thus, for example, where variation is west, north as indicated by the compass needle is west of True North by the number of degrees marked on the isogones, as illustrated by the upper left map on this plate. The upper right map indicates the average annual change of magnetic variation in minutes. The small inset map at the top of this plate, entitled Earthquake Probability, shows the damage which may result from earthquakes occurring in different parts of the country. The zones are graded from 0, where such earthquakes are likely to do no damage, to 3, where earthquakes are likely to do major damage. The small-type numbers indicate the magnitude of some recorded earthquakes. The index of magnitude is related to energy released rather than the damage done. A magnitude 5.6 is considered as the threshold at which damage begins. The four lower maps on this plate show co-tidal and co-range lines for/from the semi-diurnal and diurnal tides. A co-tidal line indicates the position of the crest of the tidal undulation at a given time. The hours marked on these lines are intervals in lunar time from that instant when the moon crosses the Greenwich meridian. A co-range line indicates the difference in level between the crest and the trough of the undulation.

Contained within the 2nd Edition (1915) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate that shows two maps. The first map shows the origin of the population in Ontario and western Quebec, circa 1911. The second map shows the origin of the population in Eastern Quebec and the Maritime Provinces, circa 1911. A varying number of ethnic groups are shown, but always included are: English, Scotch [Scottish], Irish, French and German. People of British origin predominate in all provinces, except Quebec, where the French predominate. The areas of Carleton county down to Kingston is predominated with Irish settlers. Counties and major railway systems displayed, extending into the U.S.

Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) is an invasive vine that was introduced to the U.S. from Japan and distributed throughout the South for erosion control. Unfortunately, it quickly became a problem because of its rapid growth. “The Vine that ate the South” is no longer just a southern problem either. Kudzu sites have been found in Indiana counties bordering Michigan, and some sites have been here for decades and survived numerous cold winters. Kudzu was reported in Ontario, Canada in 2009.Kudzu can cause serious damage to forests. It also can harbor soybean pests and diseases such as soybean rust and the bean plataspid (kudzu bug).We are attempting to identify and speak with landowners that have kudzu on their property or are adjacent to infested areas. The DNR Division of Entomology & Plant Pathology is working with landowners to reduce kudzu on properties to a level that can be managed by the average person. To report a kudzu site, call 1-866-NOEXOTIC, or contact Ken Cote at the Bloomington field office at 812-322-7249 or email kcote@dnr.IN.gov.

The main purpose of the Conservation Atlas of Wetlands is to develop a portrait of the wetlands of the St. Lawrence Valley using innovative mapping methods in order to favor bird conservation by helping land managers to make decisions about land use and bird habitat conservation. Another objective was to develop methods needed to allow a monitoring of the St. Lawrence Valley wetlands and make a link to a potential national mapping project of that type as an indicator on environment quality in Canada. The Atlas is considered a large-scale project because of the area covered, the great variability in the area’s characteristics and the various types of wetlands encountered. Using Canadian RADARSAT satellite images, along with other sources of information available (e.g., digital hydrological and hypsometric data) and data from Landsat-TM images, the mapping has required certain adjustments and the use of innovative methods. Achieving the objectives set at the start of the project in the spring of 1999 has resulted in the following products: - A global mosaic of the distribution of wetlands in southern Québec - A 1:50 000 scale map showing the location of wetlands in each of the area’s regional county municipalities (RCMs) - Descriptive statistics on wetlands' characteristics (number, category, average area, etc.) to complement the maps, - Information and links to to sites that promote wetland conservation. In the last few years, the Canadian Wildlife Service of Environment Canada has been carrying out a project to map natural habitats using Landsat-TM imagery. This mapping has been used to apply methods for analysing landscape features in a large area of southern Québec in order to ensure adequate habitat protection and development. As a follow-up to the project, the CWS decided to produce an Atlas of wetlands in the St. Lawrence Valley. The CWS’s work has shown that multispectral imagery does not provide all the information needed to differentiate between some wetlands. For example, forested wetlands and flooded forests can be confused with other forested areas. To increase the accuracy of wetland identification, it was decided that radar imagery should be incorporated into the project. Research carried out in Canada and abroad is attempting to show that this imagery, when acquired at the right time, can help to differentiate wetlands and map agricultural land and grasslands. Mapping and appropriate wetland monitoring require remote sensing tools that are independent of cloud cover and sensitive to soil humidity. Equipped with SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) captors capable of providing high-resolution images unaffected by daytime and nighttime weather conditions, the Canadian RADARSAT satellite is able to map the exact boundaries of wetlands. Phase I: image acquisition Image acquisition took place between April 27, 1999 and June 11, 1999. The Data Acquisition Division of the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing established an acquisition plan based on various criteria, i.e., image acquisition had to take place in the ascending mode to eliminate the dew effect, it had to be carried out in a short time period (after flooding but before the dry spells of summer) and it had to offer the possibility of producing a mosaic for a large portion of the territory. Thirty-four images were finally acquired, 28 in fine mode and 6 in standard mode. Following this acquisition, a partnership agreement between Environment Canada, the Canadian Space Agency and the Geography Department of the University of Montréal was signed. In the project’s first phase, Landsat-TM images were used to mask certain soil types, which resulted in the production of a mosaic of RADARSAT images of southern Québec and preliminary image classification results. Although the product was generally satisfactory, it was felt that the mosaic image and the classified RADARSAT images could be improved. Phase II: a classification method development The CWS thus developed a new classification method that combines several formats of RADARSAT images (texture, homogeneity and contrast indices) with the decorrelated Landsat-TM image and a digital elevation model. Several hundreds ground control points were used as basic information to guide tree analysis. The preliminary results at test sites proved the method’s efficiency for these types of images. The wetlands of 68 RCMs in the St. Lawrence Valley could thus be classified. Phase III: final validation of maps Another phase of our work was the final validation of the Atlas maps. This was made possible through extensive consultation with Quebec wetlands experts (see the list of financial and technical partners in the Acknowledgements section). In all, over 60 hours of consultation took place with more than 30 experts in the various regions of Southern Québec. This final phase of the mapping project was dubbed “Operation Open House.” A complete series of 1:50 000 scale maps, drawn up according to the boundaries of the topographical maps (UTM co-ordinates), was printed out so that the various experts could examine them and, if necessary, signal any errors and plot the required corrections. It should be noted that there are two possible sources of discrepancies. Errors may have occurred during the image classification process, or may be a result of changes to wetlands since the two series of satellite images used for this project were taken (1993-1994 and 1999). We have assigned a specific code in the map legend for areas where such changes have occurred so that, until a second map is produced in the coming years, the reader can get an idea of the dynamics of these habitats and the major areas of change (disappearance or degradation of wetlands) resulting from various human activities. Phase IV: towards interactivity A fourth phase now allows to produce a map for the sector of their choice through the interactive mapping procedure and improve the database by adding supplementary information.
