Data and Mapping

Interact with Data from our Watershed

Conservation Halton’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) team provides digital data, mapping and data visualizations to help you find information about our watershed.

Our Open Data and Mapping platform provides:

Interactive Maps: Navigate the watershed, view information about our parks, planning & permits or view real-time environmental monitoring.

Storymaps and Dashboards: Explore display data through charts, graphs or story form.

Open Data: Review our digital data using the Open Data catalog (GIS mapping or tabular formats).

To obtain digital GIS data from Conservation Halton (not included in Open Data) please complete the Digital Data Request Form, with the specific data sets that you wish to obtain, and submit it to gis@hrca.on.ca. Conservation Halton staff will develop a Data Licensing Agreement that lists the data requested, and any fees required to complete your request. Once the agreement is signed and fees are paid, Conservation Halton staff will start work to prepare the data and provide an expected timeline. Requests are generally processed within 5 days of the signed agreement being received but the size of the data request will impact the timeline.

The Data Holdings and Availability will help you understand what data is available from Conservation Halton, provide direction for “third party datasets,” which is data that Conservation Halton cannot provide due to licensing restrictions. The fee schedule is also described in this document. The Data Dissemination Policy is an overview of data distribution at Conservation Halton and briefly describes the “Groups” subject to fees. Any fees recovered under this policy contribute to funding the update of GIS data and maps provided to the public.
