Data Available to the General Public

The Ministry of Natural Resources makes a number of digital geographic data sets available at no cost. These data sets are provided free of charge to promote the use of standardized data across the province. It is expected that the provision of these data sets will also help stimulate the development of new data products and encourage the research and development of new geographic information technologies.
