Land cover information is necessary for a large range of environmental applications related to climate impacts and adaption, emergency response, wildlife habitat, etc. In Canada, a 2008 user survey indicated that the most practical land cover data is provided in a nationwide 30 m spatial...

The transport features of the CanVec series are derived from the National Road Network (NRN) and the National Railway Network (NRWN). The dataset describes roads, trails, bridges, railroads and their related information. The transport features include nautical facilities, track segments, track...

The land features of the CanVec series contains landscape features of Canada such as islands, shoreline delineation, wooded areas, saturated soil features, landform features (esker, sand, etc.). The CanVec multiscale series is available as prepackaged downloadable files and by user-defined...

The hydrographic features of the CanVec series include watercourses, water linear flow segments, hydrographic obstacles (falls, rapids, etc.), waterbodies (lakes, watercourses, etc.), permanent snow and ice features, water wells and springs. The Hydrographic features theme provides quality...

The elevation features of the CanVec series include the elevation contours and elevation points. These entities are used to describe the relief of the Canadian Landmass. The CanVec multiscale series is available as prepackaged downloadable files and by user-defined extent via a Geospatial data...

The resource management features of the CanVec series include power lines, communication lines, pipelines, valves, petroleum wells, wind-operated devices, transformer stations, ore extraction sites, aggregate extraction sites, peat extraction sites and oil and gas sites. The CanVec multiscale...

The manmade features of the CanVec series include dams, protection structures (breakwater, dike/levees), liquid storage facilities (basin, swimming pool, etc.), tanks, buildings, delimiting structures (fence, walls, etc.), landmark features (cross, radar, crane, forts, etc.), chimneys, towers,...

CanVec contains more than 60 topographic features classes organized into 8 themes: Transport Features, Administrative Features, Hydro Features, Land Features, Manmade Features, Elevation Features, Resource Management Features and Toponymic Features. This multiscale product originates from the...

2 Billion Trees Program Forests and trees sustain life on Earth. Beyond the jobs that our sustainably managed forests provide, people living in Canada rely on forests for a wealth of benefits. Healthy forest ecosystems sustain thousands of living organisms, supply us with food, provide shelter...

Canada Harmonized Agriculture Forest Land Cover 2015 The harmonized land cover (HLC) map is produced from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) and Canadian Forest Service (CFS) data. The HLC product is exhaustive of all area from the northern edge of Canada’s forested ecosystems to the...

The National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue, presents the probable shaking, damage, loss and consequences from hypothetical earthquakes that could impact Canadians. It considers only damage to buildings, and their inhabitants, from earthquake shaking, and therefore does not include damage to...

A collection of magnetotelluric surveys performed by the Geological Survey of Canada from 1987 to 2018.

GIS compilation of data used to perform the stacked cumulative chance of success (resource potential map) in Open file 8556. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has been tasked, under the Marine Conservation Targets (MCT) initiative announced in Budget 2016, with evaluating the petroleum resource...

The map displays bedrock formations at or near the surface of the land, on the sea floor above the continental crust that forms the Canadian landmass, and oceanic crust surrounding the landmass. The bedrock units are grouped and coloured according to geological age and composition. The colours of...

The compilation represents publicly available reports of geochronological information for Canada. This includes federal, provincial and territorial government publications and reports, university theses, books and journals. Current coverage is limited to those areas that have been the target of...

The Flin Flon mining camp in Manitoba, Canada, forms part of the largest Paleoproterozoic volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) district in the world. Seismic characterization of the camp using vsp, 2d and 3d reflection profiling has mapped various structures and aiding in tageting mineral resources.
