shíshálh Nation - Legally Defined Administrative Areas of BC

shíshálh Nation - Legally Defined Administrative Areas of BC The __shíshálh Nation__ contains legally defined areas of land within the Province of British Columbia over which the shíshálh Nation exercises self-government, including the administration of resources and services available to its members, as described in the shíshálh Nation Self-Government Act of 1986. This spatial layer contains multipart features. Note that the name of the spatial layer is outdated; after the notification of retirement of the layer has been circulated the dataset will be recreated with the correct name. The source data for the geometry of the parcels was the federal "GeoBase - Aboriginal Lands" dataset, available under OGL - Canada. Parcels were adjusted to match provincial base mapping features, following the metes and bounds descriptions in the Letters Patent. A polygon dataset that includes all of the administrative areas currently in the __Administrative Boundaries Management System (ABMS)__ is available [here](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc). A complimentary point dataset that defines the administrative areas is also available [here](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc-boundary-locations). The shíshálh Nation Government District Enabling Act, [RSBC 1996] CHAPTER 416 is available [here.](http://www.bclaws.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/96416_01) Other individual datasets are available from the following records: https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/province-of-british-columbia-legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/municipalities-legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/regional-districts-legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/electoral-areas-legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/islands-trust-legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/local-trust-areas-legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc 2025-04-30 Government of British Columbia Joy.Sinnett@gov.bc.ca Government and PoliticsABMSAdministrative boundariesBritish Columbiashíshálh NationGovernment information BC Geographic Warehouse Custom DownloadHTML https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/sh-sh-lh-nation-legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc/resource/24dd5179-a853-44ff-92ed-d458b35081ae Original metadata (https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca)HTML https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/sh-sh-lh-nation-legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc ABMS_SECHELT_IGD_SPKML https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/kml/geo/layers/WHSE_LEGAL_ADMIN_BOUNDARIES.ABMS_SECHELT_IGD_SP_loader.kml ABMS_SECHELT_IGD_SPWMS https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/geo/pub/WHSE_LEGAL_ADMIN_BOUNDARIES.ABMS_SECHELT_IGD_SP/ows?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&layers=pub:WHSE_LEGAL_ADMIN_BOUNDARIES.ABMS_SECHELT_IGD_SP&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain ABMS_SECHELT_IGD_SPWMS https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/geo/pub/WHSE_LEGAL_ADMIN_BOUNDARIES.ABMS_SECHELT_IGD_SP/ows?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&layers=pub:WHSE_LEGAL_ADMIN_BOUNDARIES.ABMS_SECHELT_IGD_SP&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain
