Summary

The purpose of this dataset is to give a an accurate representation of the game hunting boundaries within the Province of Manitoba

Description

Game Hunting Areas (GHAs) are defined under the Hunting Areas and Zones Regulation (220/86) of The Wildlife Act (CCSM c. W130). Game Hunting Areas are used to support boundaries for species specific hunting seasons, harvest allocations, bag limits, and associated regulations. Refer to the Hunting Areas and Zones Regulation for GHA boundary descriptions.

Process step 
▼►
Description 
The development of the hunting area boundaries use existing manufactured and natural boundaries to distinguish individual regions. Lines were snapped to municipal roads and highways obtainable from Manitoba Land Initiative website. Snapping included, using the Trans-Canada Highway, provincial highways, and provincial roads. Further man made boundaries include, snapping to township and quarter section grids where applicable. In addition, borders along natural barriers included Manitoba rivers and lakes. Hunting areas using lakes as the limit, were based on maps using 1:1 million. Borders that were snapped to rivers, use the Manitoba river map of 1:500k.

Description 
Game hunting area boundaries were revised to reflect GHA 17 boundary changes and to increase the accuracy of existing lines.  Borders along natural barriers were snapped to CanVec 1:50 000 waterbodies and watercourses, and 1:20 000 Manitoba waterbodies, or digitized at 1:8000 scale using Esri's World Imagery basemap (50cm resolution).  Man made boundaries were snapped to CanVec 1:50 000 railways, property assessment polygons, cadastral polygons, provincial forest boundaries, and the Riding Mountain National Park boundary.  Lines were also aligned to road right of ways as specified in the Manitoba Highway Inventory.
