Service Description: WHIT - Ministerial Boundary service includes the polygons designed to provide users with a representation of several Ministerial Administrative Boundaries for the province of Alberta required for the WHIT Geocortex Application.The Ministerial Boundary layers required for the WHIT application consists of the following: Forest Management Agreement Area (FMA), Forest Management Unit (FMU), Forest Area, Forest Protection Area (FPA), ESRD Operations Regions, Land-use Framework Planning Region, Green and White Area and the Provincial Boundary.Forest Management Agreement Area (FMA) shows the land in which the Province of Alberta agrees upon Forest Management Agreement holders having the rights to establish, grow, harvest and remove timber.Forest Management Unit (FMU) consists of units of forest land managed for wood fibre production and other renewable resources.Forest Areas are the boundaries used for Forest and Wildfire management.Forest Protection Area (FPA) outlines the boundary where Alberta Wildfire has jurisdiction.The Environment and Sustainable Resource Development (ESRD) Operations Regions dataset is comprised of all the polygons that represent the operations regions established for the Ministry of Environment and Parks to provide environmentally responsible services and management of the province's sustainable resources. Environment and Sustainable Resource Development Operations Regions were approved and effective May 29, 2013.The Government of Alberta's Land-use Framework (LUF) sets out an approach to manage Alberta's lands and natural resources to achieve the province's long-term economic, environmental and social goals and provides a blueprint for land-use management and decision-making that addresses Alberta's growth pressures. The LUF was developed with extensive public, stakeholder, and Aboriginal consultation. The final framework was released by the Government of Alberta in December 2008 and provides the necessary forward-looking clarity and guidance under which specific policy development can be directed and progress can be measured. It provides a decision-making framework that reflects province-wide goals, principles and priorities. Legal authority to implement the LUF occurred on October 1, 2009, with the proclamation of the Alberta Land Stewardship Act (ALSA). The Act, which established as part of the public service but not as part of a government department, the LUS headed by the stewardship commissioner, potentially affects all activities on the land and all Albertans. This polygon shapefile contains the boundaries for the seven Land-use Framework planning regions which are based on watersheds and adjusted to align with municipal boundaries. The Land-use Framework regions are defined by Orders in Council which serve as the defining documents.Green and White Area shows the Green and White areas of the province.Provincial Boundary is the Alberta Provincial Boundary ATS v4.1 polygon layer contains the polygon that represents the location of the boundaries of the Province of Alberta. This version of the Province of Alberta boundaries should be considered definitive for Government of Alberta use, and supersedes all previous versions.
