The objective of the Environmental Mapping program is to act as an information resource to assist decision makers and stakeholders at various scales with sustainable development design, conservation initiatives, hazard management, and ecological mitigation design options. It is designed to help guide stakeholders through the development process with useful background information on where and what the potential environmental constraints and opportunities are at different planning scales including the site, neighbourhood, watershed and municipal level.
