Description: Shows the regional boundary jurisdiction between York Region and neighbouring regions. The municipal boundaries define the limits of the Region's nine area municipalities: Aurora, East Gwillimbury, Georgina, King, Markham, Newmarket, Richmond Hill, Whitchurch-Stouffville and Vaughan. In 2007 an extensive investigation and clean-up of the municipal boundary locations was completed which included: snapping the boundaries to the road centrelines (which were spatially adjusted to the orthophotography in 2005); recalculating the boundary along Highway 404 to follow the 150 feet west of the centre line of the highway as outlined in the 1970 Regional Municipality of York Act; spatially adjusting the boundary along the Holland River to coincide with the centre of the river as illustrated in the 2005 orthophotography; spatially adjusting the boundary along Lake Simcoe according to the recent corrections completed by the Lake Simcoe Regional Conservation Authority according to the 2002 orthophotography; and several areas often questioned by users of the municipal boundary data were clarified in cooperation with the local municipalities.For the York Region Official Plan – 2010, Office Consolidation Fall 2018.

Reassessment of the Regional Municipality of York Act statutes took place in 1970.
Description: Land Ownership is a polygon feature that identifies the ownership and general use of an area of land. It includes Crown Land, Private Land, and Federal Land (Indian Reserve and Other). Information relating to Crown and Private Land Features stored in Land Ownership is incomplete and may not be reliable. Indian Reserves and other Federal Lands were derived from the OBM. The Private Land data set may contain ownership fabric from the FRI, and some district data. The Crown Land data set is incomplete and not accurate.
Description: Depict the locations of future potential highway expansions on ROP maps for the Bradford Bypass, 427 - EA Corridor, 427 - Future EA, 404 Proposed, and the GTA West Corridor for the Regional Official Plan.
Description: Shows the line feature class built from the Lake Simcoe Protection Act Watershed Boundary (LSPAWB) is owned by the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE), in cooperation with Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), and was created to support the Lake Simcoe Protection Act. The boundary was first created by LSRCA in 2005 as part of a Source Water Protection boundary project using the LSRCA 2002 5-metre Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and the best available data at the time. The portions of the watershed where the boundary shared a border with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and the Nottawasga Valley Conservation Authority were manually reviewed and updated though a series of consultations between the agencies. The boundary was created in ArcHydro using following procedures: 1) The updated watercourse was burned into the DEM, which generates Re-conditioned DEM; 2) Sinks in the Re-conditioned DEM were filled; 3) Flow direction grid was generated from the DEM updated in Steps 2); 4) Flow accumulation grid was generated; 5) Stream Definition grid was generated; 6) Stream Definition Segmentation grid was generated from the result in Step 5); 7) Catchment Grid was generated based on the Stream Definition Segmentation grid; 8) Catchment Grid was then converted to catchment polygons; 9) Drainage lines were generated; 10) Then we generated adjoint catchments and drainage points feature classes; 11) Subwatershed outlet points was digitized in a new feature class layer for the all sub watersheds for which we need to delineate boundaries 12) Run subwatershed delineation process; 13) The subwatersheds where dissolved to create one polygon. In 2008-09 in preparation for the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan data collection was performed on the hydrology layers for the Ramara Creeks, Talbot River, Upper Talbot River, and Whites Creek Subwatersheds of the watershed and the watershed boundary in that area was revised. The following steps were used in the delineation of the boundary in the north eastern portion of the watershed. The same Arc Hydro steps were followed as in the original boundary creation except for one additional step in which the culverts were burned into the DEM at the same time the watercourse was. The dataset was in turn converted to geodatabase format and additional attribute information was added to support the Act and the utility of the product for the end-user.

Description: A representation of the entire Oak Ridges Moraine boundary as identified in the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan that extended past York Region.
Description: The Greenbelt Act, 2005 enables the creation of a Greenbelt Plan to protect about 1.8 million acres of environmentally sensitive and agricultural land in the Golden Horseshoe from urban development and sprawl. It includes and builds on about 800,000 acres of land within the Niagara Escarpment Plan and the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. The Protected Countryside contains a Natural System that provides a continuous and permanent land base necessary to support human and ecological health in the Greenbelt and beyond. The Natural System policies protect areas of natural heritage, hydrologic and/or landform features, which are often functionally inter-related and which collectively support biodiversity and overall ecological integrity.
