How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • National and provincial parks. The nearest national park and the nearest provincial park are always shown when they are within 100 km.
  • Private land. Areas held by land trusts or private owners stay unnamed here, though they count in the shares.
  • Walking routes. The list is OpenStreetMap’s, so a missing trail may just be unmapped. The Trans Canada Trail appears where OSM maps it.
  • Protected land. Measured on CPCAD’s outlines: the part of a 10 km band around the town that lies in a protected or conserved area, water included.
