    Description

    The collection of geolocated placenames in Canada represents a consistent and comprehensive distribution of named places across Canada. Named places include large and small cities, villages, First Nations Communities, Small Hamlets etc. This data draws from public information maintained by Natural Resources Canada as part of the Canadian Geographical Names Database and public information maintained by Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada. The set of geolocated placenames is currently used for the administration of rural broadband Internet contribution programs, but is equally applicable for other mapping or modelling purposes where a comprehensive set of geolocated placenames across Canada is required.

    Description

    This product contains 23,887 digitally restored 1971 census enumeration area (EA) boundaries for the 33 census metropolitan areas (CMA) defined by the 2011 census. EAs are the smallest geographical unit for the release of 1971 census statistics. These EA boundaries can be aggregated to the census agglomeration (CA) or the CMA level. The restored EA boundaries also include 1971 population and dwelling statistics. The areas covered by the restored EA polygons account for 61.8% Canada’s total population in 1971. The purpose of the data set is to provide a historical geography in a digital format. It is intended to be used for reference, mapping and for spatial and time series analyses. These boundaries were produced by Statistics Canada, Environment, Energy and Transportation Statistic Division in 2017. The restored 1971 EA boundaries are provided as a single spatial layer. They are also available in Statistics Canada, 2017, “Restoration of the 1971 enumeration area polygons for Canada's largest cities,” Environmental Statistics: Boundary Files, Catalogue no. 16-510-X.

    Description

    This dataset contains spatial and temporal data on urban parks and their usage in Toronto, Canada. It was used to examine how anonymized mobility data from Mapbox can help identify and reduce inequality in the availability and use of green spaces. The dataset consists of four files:Toronto 2021 Census.shp: A shapefile that contains census data for the park catchments in Toronto, including variables such as housing density and car ownership.greenSpaceActivityWithWeather.csv: A spreadsheet that contains the daily Mapbox activity value for each park, as well as the average temperature and total precipitation from local weather stations.Simplified Large Parks.shp: A shapefile that contains the polygons of the target parks used in the study, which are larger than 10 hectares and have more than 1000 visits per year.Park amenities.csv: A spreadsheet that contains the amenities available in each park, such as sports fields, transportation options, gardens, and playgrounds.The dataset supports a manuscript published in People and Nature titled: “Using anonymized mobility data to reduce inequality in the availability and use of urban parks”. The manuscript presents the methods and results of the analysis, as well as the implications and recommendations for urban planning and policy.

    Description

    A joint venture involving the National Atlas programs in Canada (Natural Resources Canada), Mexico (Instituto Nacional de Estadstica Geografa e Informtica), and the United States (U.S. Geological Survey), as well as the North American Commission for Environmental Co-operation, has led to the release (June 2004) of several new products: an updated paper map of North America, and its associated geospatial data sets and their metadata. These data sets are available online from each of the partner countries both for download. This data has been revised and re-released in 2006. The North American Atlas data are standardized geospatial data sets at 1:10,000,000 scale. A variety of basic data layers (e.g. roads, railroads, populated places, political boundaries, hydrography, bathymetry, sea ice and glaciers) have been integrated so that their relative positions are correct. This collection of data sets forms a base with which other North American thematic data may be integrated. Any data outside of Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America included in the North American Atlas data sets is strictly to complete the context of the data. The North American Atlas - Political Boundaries data set shows political entities in North America as polygons representing jurisdictional areas, and as lines representing political boundaries, including International boundaries, Provincial boundaries, State or territory boundaries, and the International Date Line.

    Description

    The dataset contains large ensembles of bias adjusted daily climate model outputs of minimum temperature, maximum temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, surface pressure, wind speed, incoming shortwave radiation, and incoming longwave radiation on a 0.5-degree grid over North America. Intended uses include hydrological/land surface impact modelling and related event attribution studies. The CanLEADv1 dataset is based on archived climate model simulations in the Canadian Regional Climate Model Large Ensemble (CanRCM4 LE) https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/83aa1b18-6616-405e-9bce-af7ef8c2031c and Canadian Earth System Model Large Ensembles (CanESM2 LE) https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/aa7b6823-fd1e-49ff-a6fb-68076a4a477c datasets. Specifically, CanLEADv1 provides bias adjusted daily climate variables over North America derived from 50 member initial condition ensembles of CanESM2 (ALL and NAT radiative forcings) and CanESM2-driven CanRCM4 (ALL radiative forcings) simulations (Scinocca et al., 2016; Fyfe et al., 2017). Raw CanESM2 LE and CanRCM4 LE outputs are bias adjusted (Cannon, 2018; Cannon et al., 2015) so that they are statistically consistent with two observationally-constrained historical meteorological forcing datasets (S14FD, Iizumi et al., 2017; EWEMBI, Lange, 2018). File names, formats, and metadata headers follow the recommended Data Reference Syntax for bias-adjusted Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) simulations (Nikulin and Legutke, 2016). Multiple initial condition simulations can be used to investigate the externally forced response, internal variability, and the relative role of external forcing and internal variability on the climate system (e.g., Fyfe et al., 2017). Large ensembles of ALL and NAT simulations can be compared in event attribution studies (e.g., Kirchmeier-Young et al., 2017). Availability of bias adjusted outputs from the CanESM2-CanRCM4 modelling system can be used to investigate the added value of dynamical downscaling (Scinocca et al., 2016). Multiple observational datasets are used for bias adjustment to partly account for observational uncertainty (Iizumi et al., 2017). For CanESM2 LE, there are two sets of radiative forcing scenarios (ALL, which consists of historical and RCP8.5 forcings for the periods 1950-2005 and 2006-2100, respectively, and NAT, which consists of historicalNat forcings for the period 1950-2020), two observationally-constrained target datasets for bias adjustment (S14FD and EWEMBI), and 50 ensemble members, which gives a total of 2 × 2 × 50 = 200 sets of outputs. For CanRCM4 LE, historicalNat simulations were not run; hence, there are 2 × 50 = 100 sets of outputs. In both cases, CanLEADv1 provides variables on the CORDEX NAM-44i 0.5-degree grid. CanESM2 outputs (~2.8-degree grid) and CanRCM4 outputs (0.44-degree grid), are bilinearly interpolated onto the NAM-44i grid before bias adjustment. A multivariate version of quantile mapping (Cannon, 2018) is used to adjust the distribution of each simulated variable, as well as the statistical dependence between variables, so that these properties match those of the target observational dataset. Bias adjustment is performed on a grid cell by grid cell basis. Outside of the historical calibration period, the climate change signal simulated by the climate model is preserved (Cannon et al., 2015). References: Cannon, A. J. (2018).

    Description

    In preparation for our first annual survey of mayors and councillors in early 2020, the Canadian Municipal Barometer research team has compiled background data on the 447 largest municipalities in Canada. We hope that this site will provide teachers, students, and the general public with a useful overview of many important features of Canada’s largest municipalities, from institutions to housing to commuting patterns. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or spot any errors in the data.
