Site regions and districts

Site regions and districts Site Regions and Site Districts of Ontario represent an early Ecological Land Classification (ELC) system originally developed by Angus Hills. This dataset was revised by the ELC Working Group in 2000 to better reflect new information and new technology. The Site Regions of Ontario was used for descriptive, planning, and resource management purposes. This upper level in its hierarchy was most useful for provincial and regional roll-ups of data and for strategic planning. Site Districts of Ontario is a more detailed lower (finer-scale) level of the hierarchy, and was more useful for detailed resource management prescriptions and other local and site planning applications. This layer is designed to be used as a spatial selection tool and as a background layer suitable for overlay and or intersection with numerous scales or current hydrologic data. *[ELC]: Ecological Land Classification 2025-04-23 Government of Ontario Economics and IndustryEconomy and BusinessEnvironment and Natural ResourcesGovernmentGovernment information Access to Site regionsHTML https://geohub.lio.gov.on.ca/datasets/site-region- Access to Site districtsHTML https://geohub.lio.gov.on.ca/datasets/site-district Accéder à la page Régions utilisés pour la classification des terresHTML https://geohub-fr.lio.gov.on.ca/datasets/r%C3%A9gions-utilis%C3%A9s-pour-la-classification-des-terres Accéder à la page Districts utilisés pour la classification des terresHTML https://geohub-fr.lio.gov.on.ca/datasets/districts-utilis%C3%A9s-pour-la-classification-des-terres Complete File Geodatabase (extracted from geohub)ZIP https://ws.gisetl.lrc.gov.on.ca/fmedatadownload/Packages/fgdb/SITEREG.zip Complete Shapefile (extracted from geohub)ZIP https://ws.gisetl.lrc.gov.on.ca/fmedatadownload/Packages/SITEREG.zip Complete File Geodatabase (extracted from geohub)ZIP https://ws.gisetl.lrc.gov.on.ca/fmedatadownload/Packages/fgdb/SITEDIST.zip Complete Shapefile (extracted from geohub)ZIP https://ws.gisetl.lrc.gov.on.ca/fmedatadownload/Packages/SITEDIST.zip QGIS Layer Definition File (.qlr) (extracted from geohub)other https://www.publicdocs.mnr.gov.on.ca/mirb/lio-open-qlr-eng/site-region.qlr QGIS Layer Definition File (.qlr) (extracted from geohub)other https://www.publicdocs.mnr.gov.on.ca/mirb/lio-open-qlr-eng/site-district.qlr Site District (extracted from geohub)ESRI REST https://ws.lioservices.lrc.gov.on.ca/arcgis2/rest/services/LIO_OPEN_DATA/LIO_Open03/MapServer/18 Site District (extracted from geohub)ESRI REST https://ws.lioservices.lrc.gov.on.ca/arcgis2/rest/services/LIO_OPEN_DATA/LIO_Open03/MapServer/18 Site Region (extracted from geohub)ESRI REST https://ws.lioservices.lrc.gov.on.ca/arcgis2/rest/services/LIO_OPEN_DATA/LIO_Open03/MapServer/19 Site Region (extracted from geohub)ESRI REST https://ws.lioservices.lrc.gov.on.ca/arcgis2/rest/services/LIO_OPEN_DATA/LIO_Open03/MapServer/19
