Land Information Ontario, or “LIO” for short, is the provincial initiative that supports the sharing of data for use in Geographic Information Systems. We provide access to this data to public, government and private-sector specialists using a variety of tools and services, including:
The LIO Warehouse
...which is a web-accessible database that stores geographic data containing nearly 30 million land features from across Ontario.

LIO also manages provincial data projects such as:
- The Ontario Road Network
- The Ontario Parcel database; and
- The Ontario Trail Network
...and LIO coordinates partnerships to acquire and share high-resolution digital imagery from across the province.
Since 1999, Land Information Ontario has been facilitating the exchange of geospatial data by helping to make it well-managed, accessible, easy to integrate, and affordable. We support and encourage participation and partnerships; undertake research, education and promotional activities; and make useful data available to those who need it.
