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.

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: Defined as depressions formed by glacial action and permanently filled with water. The kettle lake dataset was originally captured from the Ontario Base Map drainage features at a scale of 1:10,000. This dataset has been updated by the Ministry of Natural Resources in part to support the implementation of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. All digital information is confined to the Oak Ridges Moraine area and a 2 kilometre surrounding zone. Scale: 1:10,000

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.

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 Natural Heritage Systemincludes areas of the Protected Countryside with the highest concentration of the most sensitive and/or significant natural features and functions. These areas need to be managed as a connected and integrated natural heritage system given the functional inter-relationships between them, and the fact this system builds upon the natural systems contained in the NEP and the ORMCP. Together with the landscape surrounding the Greenbelt, these systems currently comprise, and function as a connected natural heritage system.
