GeoSpatial Data

Avenues / Highways / Roads / Streets
- BC Digital Road Atlas (entire province; need to clip/subset)
- DMTI CanMap StreetFiles at AbacusDataVerse at UBC - need UVic NetLink ID and PassWord
- NRCan National Road Network by province
- StatsCan Road Network
- DMTI RouteLogistics at AbacusDataVerse at UBC - need UVic NetLink ID and PassWord

Administrative Boundaries: CensusMetropolitianAreas (CMAs), Municipalities (CensusSubDivisions), CensusTracts, etc) (via Statistics Canada)

Bathymetry
- BC bathymetry Depth code from Marine Ecological Classification. S = Shallow (0-20m), P = Photic (20-50m), M = Mid-depth (50-200m), D = Deep (200-1000m), A = Abyssal (>1000m).
- North America bathymetry begins at 200m
