Terrain Resource Information Management 1:20,000 Base Map

Terrain Resource Information Management (TRIM) provides the base data for the Province of British Columbia. TRIM is a set of three-dimensional digital files that support development and management of land-related information.

The original TRIM program was completed in 1996. Demand for more information on features such as roads, streams and forest openings led to the development of the TRIM II program.
