BaseWMS

Land and Islands (1)

Polygons that represent the terrestrial boundary British Columbia and the state of Washington. This feature class also has an Island Name field that stores island names. DRA data (Island names) added to Island Name field. Originally from ESRI Maps and Data collection

International Boundary (3)

Canada/USA international boundary. Data is originally from TRIM and maintained along with other regional boundary data.

CRD Land (5)

Regional District Boundary Terrestrial - terrestrial polygons that comprise the Capital Regional Distrct terrestrial boundary.

Street Address (8)

Integrated legal lot boundaries for all municipalities within the Capital Regional District. Data was sent from each municipality and compiled into the same schema. Data sources include the municipalities within the CRD as well as the CBMS (http://srmwww.gov.bc.ca/bmgs/cbm/index.html) which developed the initial layer for ICIS (www.icisociety.ca).

Major Rivers outside CRD (11)

Major Rivers on Vancouver Island. Data is from Provincial TRIM data and maintained by Capital Regional District.

Rivers (13)

Contains the standard TRIM water features and the corrections made by CRD, fall 2002. Not all the corrections were submitted to Geodata BC. The following was compiled from a variety of source including planimetry, shapefile attributes, hard copy, GPS survey and personal communication with reputable local experts. The spatial extent is dependent on areas for which we acquired quality data. Corrections were made for all municipalities except Oak Bay and Victoria, but not for the Juan de Fuca or Gulf Islands Electoral Areas other than Saltspring and Galiano Islands.

First Nation Reserves (15)

First Nation Reserve land in the Capital Regional District. Name- name of the reserve DataSource - where the data came from Data Project - - project that spurred creation of data and what the data is based on DataDate - date data was created, downloaded or updated DataSupplier - where the data came from or the base information that was used to create the data. DataAccuracy - relative accuracy of the data based on original creation or based layer Comments - general comments and update notes FirstNationBand - First Nation Band name that owns the reserve SLP_Description - Reference to the Supplementary Letters Patent that describes the First Nation boundary.

Roads (18)

The Digital Roads Atlas (DRA) is received monthly via GeoBC/Province of BC. The DRA is a data management system representing a complete and accurate road network of all the roads in British Columbia. The DRA includes a combination of spatial data (such as road geometry) and attribute data (such as surface type and address information). It includes all types of roads, from resource roads to alleyways. The road information is obtained from aerial photos or roads driven with GPS referencing. Roads and intersections are represented geometrically as centrelines and points, respectively. This layer includes the new DRA schema introduced in 2014.

E and N Railway (22)

Centreline of the E & N Railroad in the CRD.

Municipal Boundary (24)

Municipal Boundary Line including water areas Name - Offical name of municipality DataSource - the most recent Supplementary Letters Patent that describes the boundary DataProject - the project that spurred the creation of the data. DataDate - date data was created, downloaded or updated DataSupplier - SLP; this describes the fact that the data were created based on Supplementary Letters Patent DataAccuracy - the boundaries were created following the 2008 version of the CRD's ICF, therefore these boundaries are as accurate as the ICF data that was provided by municipalities Comments -general comments ShortName - short name for municipality SharedBoundLine - true/false; True if line is a boundary with a First Nation reserve SharedWithSharedWith - whether an Electoral Area (EA), First Nations (FN) or Municipality (MUNI) is on the other side of the boundary Name2 - Name of area on other side of boundary ShortName2 - short name of area on other side of boundary DuplicateLine -true for lines that have a duplicate. Only one of the two lines is labeled with true. By filtering on True or False, users can remove duplicate boundaries.

Regional Provincial Federal Parks (27)

Regional, Federal, Provincial, Municipal, Provincial Ecoreserve, Community Parks and Protected Area in the CRD. Parks and protected areas are defined as: (a) A property explicitly zoned as such in information supplied by the municipality (b) In the case that explicit zoning does not exist, information as provided and/or verified by the municipality or other administrative body. Due to differences in definitions parks and protected areas between different adminstrative areas, this layer is not guranteed to be fully comprehensive or consistant. Layer is updated on a regular basis, but not all areas are guranteed to be up to date.

Island Labels (29)

Polygons that represent the terrestrial boundary British Columbia and the state of Washington. This feature class also has an Island Name field that stores island names. DRA data (Island names) added to Island Name field. Originally from ESRI Maps and Data collection

Electoral Area Labels (31)

Electoral Area Boundaries Terrestrial, follows terrestrial lines. EA Name is the name of the Electoral Area where the polygon lies Data Source - where the data came from Data Project - project that spurred creation of data DataDate - date data was created, downloaded or updated DataSupplier - where the data came from or the base information that was used to create the data. DataAccuracy - relative accuracy of the data based on original creation or based layer StatsCanCode - Statistics Canada Code ShortName - short version of EA name District - Alternative name for area, including First Nation name District Type - EA, First Nation.
