This dataset is a compilation of numerous data files recovered as part of a data request in 2024 from a historical archive of DFO research data. Sediment and Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) samples were collected over more than a decade as part of Dr. Douglas Loring’s research program while...

This dataset contains primary processing facilities (e.g., smelters and refineries), mines and advanced projects related to Canada’s 31 critical minerals. Advanced projects are those with mineral reserves or resources (measured or indicated), the potential viability of which is supported by a...

This dataset is produced and published annually by Natural Resources Canada. It contains a variety of statistics on Canada’s mineral production, and provides the geographic locations of significant metallic, nonmetallic and coal mines, oil sands mines, selected metallurgical works and gas fields...

This dataset provides information related to the top-spending off-mine-site exploration and deposit appraisal projects in Canada for the given reference year. The dataset is maintained by the Lands and Minerals Sector, Natural Resources Canada, and forms the basis for the annual Map of Top 100...

Water quality and ecosystem health data collected using a risk-based monitoring approach to support the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement are included in this dataset. By conducting regular, systematic measurements of the physical, chemical and biological conditions of the Great Lakes...

Biomonitoring provides a measure of internal doses of environmental chemicals or agents and allows for a more accurate measure of human health risk from these chemical exposures. Information presented in these Alberta Biomonitoring Program datasets were collected as part of two province-wide...

​​​​CFIA inspection results for mercury and metals (aluminum, antimony, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, magnesium, manganese, nickel, selenium, tin and zinc) in fish products testing since 2000. Compilation of raw data.​

As part of the research activities of the St. Lawrence Action Plan (SLAP) and in collaboration with Parks Canada, a 5-year monitoring program was initiated to assess the effect of metal and element contamination to clams in the Tadoussac area. The sites of concern included marinas near...

The Fish Contaminants Monitoring Program (FCMP) was initiated in 1976. The objective is to collect a variety of biological samples in freshwater environments for the purpose of determining ecosystem contaminant levels. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) collects biological samples from...

This study is focused on measuring lead in environmental matrices (surface water, sediment and tissues of recreational fish species) at locations known for high levels of recreational fishing activities (i.e. locations with high uses of lead in fishing sinkers and jigs) to determine the fate and...
