Overview Introduction Tools - Canada Lands Surveys SGB Datasets NRCan – GIS Data Other Sources
The Surveyor General has the legal responsibility, subject to the direction of the Minister of Natural Resources, to manage all surveys on Canada Lands and to maintain all the original plans, journals, field notes and other documents connected with those surveys.
i. Canada’s survey registry SGB issues instructions for surveys, reviews plans of survey and registers these surveys to allow parcels to be created on Canada Lands and on fee simple parcels of land in Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. In 2012-2013, over 1,000 survey instructions were issued and some 1,400 plans were registered in the Canada Lands Survey Records (CLSR). This public repository – created pursuant to legislation - contains over 103,573 records dating to pre-Confederation Canada.
ii. Canada’s survey program SGB manages boundary surveys on Aboriginal settlement lands to meet Canada’s obligations in land claim settlement agreements and legislation, and administers boundary surveys required by other departments across the Government of Canada (e.g. Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada).
iii. Canada – United States International Boundary Commission
3
Embedded within SGB is the Canadian section of the International Boundary Commission (IBC). The Surveyor General is appointed by Order in Council as the Canadian Commissioner to the IBC with the mandate of maintaining the boundary between Canada and the United States for certainty in jurisdictional extent.2

GIS – First Nation ExperiencesMississauga First NationPresented by: Keith Sayers
Mississauga First Nation
1
PREAMBLEMississauga First Nation (MFN) is committed to OUR inherent responsibilities of ensuring decisions are made in a manner that will ensure there are healthy lands for those yet unborn. With the signing of the treaties, it has been stated by MFN leaders and Elders that they have never surrendered their rights and responsibilities to manage the lands. Following the footprints of MFN ancestors as it relates to responsibilities to the lands and future generations, MFN is determined to couple economic development with a critical concern for cultural continuity. One of the most important truths to remember is that First Nations peoples were here occupying the lands, implementing their government systems and never relinquished those rights with the signing of the treaties. Mississauga First Nation never relinquished their jurisdiction to manage their original territory with the signing of the treaties or any agreements. MFN inherent rights speak of the responsibilities MFN peoples have to the lands and this includes their jurisdiction.The Framework Agreement on First Nation Land Management was entered into between the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and the Chief of Mississauga First Nation on March 31, 2003. This Agreement required MFN to develop its own land code which was ratified and adopted in June, 2009 and is titled the Mississauga First Nation (also known as; Mississauga River #8, MississagiFirst Nation) Land Code.The Mississauga First Nation Land Code indicates:
2
“The traditional teachings of the Mississauga First Nation speak of the obligation of the people of the Mississauga First Nation to care for and respect the land and the magnificent wonders of Nature created on the land. Upon enacting the Land Code, the Mississauga First Nation is re‐assuming this special responsibility….the authority of the Mississauga First Nation to govern its lands and resources flows from the Creator to the people of the Mississauga First Nation, and from the people to the Chief and Council according to the culture, traditions, customs and laws of our First Nation.”
The Council may, subject to the terms of the Land Code, make laws respecting all aspects of its lands.
2
WHAT IS A LAND USE‐AND‐OCCUPANCY PLAN (LUOP)
It is a tool for taking care of the land. Taking care of the land means understanding and maintaining our connections to the lands between all parts of the lands. It involves taking care of the relationships we have with the lands as part of our original instructions and responsibilities. A land use plan is a long‐range (typically 20 years) and broad‐based policy document that deals with the existing and future use of lands in an area. It contains policies and maps to guide growth and development and sets out the First Nation’s vision for the future.
The primary purpose of a LUOP is to provide guidance for land use decisions. An important part of land use planning is preparing to deal with future situations that may affect the lands. Instead of resolving issues on an “ad hoc” and reactionary basis, decision makers will be able to:
move forward with confidence that they have the information that they need,understand the effect that a decision may have on related issues, and make decisions consistent with the aspirations, needs and concerns expressed by their community citizens.
Competing priorities, such as economic development, cultural sustainability and
3
environmental protection, can be reconciled based on agreed‐upon policies. The LUOP, through its accompanying policies, provides certainty and helps to ensure that decisions are understood to be made impartially and transparently.
It is intended that land use decisions will be consistent with the policy provisions of this plan. The LUOP and policies should be reviewed periodically by the community to ensure that it remains current and expresses the intent of the community. Should activities or elements not currently permitted by the plan arise, it is intended that the plan first be amended in accordance with the “Implementation” section of this plan prior to making changes to the land use plan.
It is the document used by the community when making long range planning decision and when integrating their development objectives with their social, economic and natural environmental objectives.
3
Purpose of the Land Use‐and‐Occupancy Plan“The peoples of Mississauga First Nation were placed her by Gzhemnidoo (the Creator) who gave us the four sacred elements: fire, earth, air and water. Along with those four elements, we were given the right to use them and the responsibility to care for them.”To protect the lands by: Establishing a policy framework to guide the physical, social and economic development of our community and ensuring our behaviours do not destroy the lands for those yet unborn,Providing guidelines for future development for both the community led initiatives and private initiatives with respect to land use designations and principles of development.Establishing a development approval framework that establishes a single development permit approach. This is intended to provide adequate levels of control with minimal administrative processes.
4
Guiding PrincipalsThe lands must remain healthy now and into the future for generations to come as it sustains us and contains our history,The health and safety of residents is of paramount importance,Sustainable development resulting in employment opportunities will be encourage rather than hindered by this plan.
5
Goals of the Land Use PlanFollow our inherent rights in promoting sustainable resource use and developmentPrevent and reduce land use disputesGuide future land decisionsMaintain our connections to the landsProvide for the availability of lots for future residential housingPreserve and protect MFN’s territoryPreserve the ecologically important and culturally significant areasRespect the lakes, the lands, all wildlife and their needed habitats to surviveEnsure effective communication to MFN citizens

Territorial Lands and Occupation of the Mississagi People
The peoples of the Mississagi have lived north of Lake Huron living in balance on the territory since time immemorial. From the gathering of food, to hunting, fishing and trapping, trading (economic trade) the Mississauga people have utilized the lands and waters for sustenance, for socio‐economic purposes, and to remain connected to the lands. Traditional knowledge of their lands has been passed down from generation to generation. As the original peoples of the lands that encompass the Mississagi watershed, the Mississauga peoples governed themselves according to their traditions and culture on hunting, fishing, trapping and other activities to keep the Mississsagi watershed pristine and healthy prior to European contact.

at G
IFN
GI was among the first to become an FNLM community.In 2002, Kerry Ann Charles was hired to consolidate bylaws, then environmental projects. She advocated for the GIS.Both the feds and the province had realized their data was essentially public data, so now there was basic spatial data available.Hundreds of thousands of dollars of consulting studies had spatial data that was specific to the First Nation. We needed to be able to use it.
3
Within that context, funding was sought to get an inhouse GIS.In summer 2013, person was hired and work began.
4
I had been working with GI since the 90s so I was already familiar with the work of First Nations and this one specifically.There was no clear direction for the GIS, so I talked to everybody who would talk to me.There had been initial work done with the community to sell the idea, and the hardware and software decisions had already been made.I continued to gather up environmental and infrastructure studies to see what information was available in formats I could use.
5
Lots of data out there – short list of primary sources.Government Data – cadastral parcel data is the basis. I use it to match up to all other data.Registry data has been a bit of a nightmare to match because it is very difficult to get property key data join data meaningfully.MNR manages the Land Information Ontario data warehouse. Much of the provincial data is available. Some must be accessed directly.We had to purchase our air photos $2200.In‐house – get either AutoCAD or ESRI data from consultants. Advantage of using industry standard software is lots of help available.Created data – able to georeference papers maps, could then draw from those. Used small GPS for rough locations, have since invested in better one. Built attribute data, mostly EXCEL to bring into our databases.
6
This is highly valued by various staff. Especially lands and environment. Also housing.
7
Mostly one‐off maps. Fun projects.
8
Mostly involve some degree of simple analysis – buffers, overlays, etc.
9
Not especially useful for day to day, but gives a way for people to think about spatial relationships.
10
‐ Staff have information at their fingertips on demand‐ Bylaws and protocols are more easily enforced with mapping that shows lines and areas.
Everybody uses the same information‐ Faster response to community information requests. They can take maps away
11
‐ Maps can be specifically designed for need,‐ Use own information to assess the work of consultants. E.g landfill which was built
adjacent to a significant wetland area. Reduced lifespan by at least 10 years. ‐ E.g. been providing our own land use files to ensure our priorities are reflected in
mapping‐ E.g. can use mapping from forest inventory to prepare fire hazard maps based on tree
age and species
12
GIS is a tool and if it is not integrated into the way we do work, it will languish.Needs a person who is dedicated to its continuation – typically a core staff member.If it is more of a special project thing, GIS consultant will do
13
Enthusiastic staff garnered support from Georgian College to help sell the idea.Developed ideas about how to use data and systems from other users.Tips on data sources helpful starting points.
14
Data will make or break the implementation.Easy to “sell” GIS maps because they can look so good, but user must know their data.e.g. wetland analysis – 2 versions. One very rough and imprecise but very accurate all wetlands were actually ground truthed by biologist.. Other seems more precise because it was completed from air photos, but no one actually visited the swamps, so their assessment of boundaries, etc based only on a single air photo and guess (based on experience) of what is likely happening on the ground.
15
All consultants will use CAD and/or GIS to complete their work. You should get that data in the format you need it. Very do‐able if you state early enough what you need.Metadata, metadata, metadata – key to knowing how much you can trust what you are seeing. Even if all you get it who collected, when, why and how then that is enough.
16
You will soon be drowning in files. It may take a year or two to figure our what you need to keep.Figure out a filing system and use it. Keep a list of files so you can find them again.

How did we get to where we are?
What does the application do?
How do we maintain both the application and the data that drives it
What are our next steps
GIS is housed within the IT department at the City
We currently have over 1000 installations of ArcGIS desktop but as part of an upgrade are attempting to reduce that number
Usually around 100 concurrent ArcGIS users
Also have an older GIS enabled application that is used throughout the City
Power GIS users update data in multiple ArcSDE Oracle databases - ~25
Nightly replication to a single Oracle read-only database referred to as Datamart
Datamart data is used to create various web mapping services
These are used in multiple online GIS applications – geoOttawa, geoOttawaLite, IMN
Address locators are rebuilt each day to allow inclusion of new addresses in the locators
3
eMAP was the previous application – an AutoDesk MapGuide based web application
External use approximately – 2% academic use, 69% business/professional use, and 29% personal/residential use
Largest percentage of business use in the architectural, engineering, planning and related services (34%) , with Real Estate close behind (26%).
4
Existing MapGuide application had reached EOL and required replacement
Choice to use an esri based solution as this was the selected corporate solution
Options were Flex, silverlight and Java – Flex was chosen.
To minimize development an existing application template was chosen and as much as possible we avoided any changes to the core framework and instead enhanced widgets
This was completed as part of the GIS Enterprise application implementation project
Enterprise application framework
• single source for data
• single source for map services
Survey available to external clients for 2 weeks. 800+ people responded to the survey.
Provided an overview of the type of users, data of interest, and what functionality they thought most useful (in the existing eMAP app).
Property parcels was the most popular dataset, with roads and zoning in 2nd.
Provided an opportunity to suggest enhancements.

Single developer that spends a percentage of his daily work maintaining the application
Layer list is a configuration file that is updated
Google analytics to understand our user base – analysis by geographic and by device/OS type (iPad, Android, Chrome, etc.)
8
9
Need either people in house to customize or the ability to hire
Need staff that understand GIS and data maintenance
Need to ensure there is knowledge transfer if consultants are used to ensure maintenance of the application moving forward
Want to try to be as forward thinking as possible.
Browsers are always being updated and sometimes this breaks things.
