The B.C. Geographic Warehouse
B.C. Geographic Warehouse Modernization 2020
A number of updates are anticipated to be completed on or before spring 2022.
The B.C. Geographic Warehouse (BCGW) is a central government repository of spatial and non-spatial data. The data includes Base Mapping information, such as heights of land, rivers, lakes, roads, place name and administrative boundaries, as well as government program information, like forest cover, ecosystems, economic and health indicators.
The BCGW is a foundation for the B.C. Spatial Data Infrastructure and all of the data in it is made ready for a wide variety of uses through a rigorous and standardized publication process that embraces the principles of Data Custodianship.
