Here’s how every Canadian province and territory is governing data centres
From stand-alone policies to disincentivizing investment, here’s a guide from coast to coast.
Data centre development is…

NO ORDINARY RISKS: FROM HUDSON BAY TO THE ARCTIC SEA
On their return journey home from the shores of the Arctic Sea, James Anderson and his men made their way through Lake Garry, and made their way all the way West to long and narrow Beechey Lake. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks #Nunavut #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/anderson-at-beechy-lake/ -
NO ORDINARY RISKS: FROM HUDSON BAY TO THE ARCTIC SEA
Because of the risks of an early winter trapping them in the North, James Anderson's men were eager to get home and worked so hard that they quickly reached Lake Garry, one of the Sideways Lakes so named by the Inuit people. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks #Nunavut https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/anderson-at-lake-garry/ -
NO ORDINARY RISKS: FROM HUDSON BAY TO THE ARCTIC SEA
In late summer 1855, James Anderson and James Green Stewart began their journey home from the shores of the Arctic Sea, heading south toward Great Slave Lake. They would take a different route home than the one they had used coming North. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut #NoOrdinaryRisks https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/journey-home/ -
NO ORDINARY RISKS: FROM HUDSON BAY TO THE ARCTIC SEA
West of Montreal Island, in Chantrey Inlet, lay the Adelaid Peninsula which reached far North into the Arctic Sea. In 1855, James Anderson and his men walked the shores of this huge peninsula, looking for signs of Sir John Franklin's lost men. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut #NoOrdinaryRisks https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/adelaide-peninsula/ -
NO ORDINARY RISKS: FROM HUDSON BAY TO THE ARCTIC SEA
In the centre of Chantrey Inlet lay Montreal Island, a place where Sir John Franklin's lost men were known to have been. Ot would be James Anderson's job to search the island and its adjacent lands for signs of those long lost men. #Journeys #NoOrdinaryRisks #Nunavut #ThreeJourneysNorth https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/montreal-island/ -
NO ORDINARY RISKS: FROM HUDSON BAY TO THE ARCTIC SEA
From Lake Franklin, at the North end of the Great Fish River, James Anderson had his men made the short journey downriver to the shores of Chantrey Inlet, a deep Northern inlet which formed a part of the Arctic Sea. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut #NoOrdinaryRisks https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/james-anderson-14/ -
NO ORDINARY RISKS: FROM HUDSON BAY TO THE ARCTIC SEA
In 1855, James Anderson and his men travelled by canoe through Lake McDougall, one of the Sideways Lakes along the Great Fish River, on his journey North to the Arctic Sea in search of Sir John Franklin's men. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks #Nunavut https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/james-anderson-12/ -

“Winter roads are essential transportation links for many remote northern communities, but their safety and reliability depend strongly on snow conditions and ice growth. In this study [link above], [the authors] evaluated a fully polarimetric, dual-frequency Ku- and Ka-band radar approach for retrieving snow depth across landfast sea ice, lake ice, and tundra.
Using field measurements near Churchill, Manitoba, and Resolute Bay, Nunavut [Canada], [they] found that the approach produced snow-depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over landfast ice, with encouraging Ku-band performance over frozen ground as well. [They] also developed an interface-detection approach for lake ice that can retrieve both snow depth and ice thickness - a promising direction for characterizing conditions relevant to winter-road planning and safety…”

“Winter roads are lifelines for remote northern communities. Built over land, lakes, rivers, and sea ice, these travel routes are increasingly vulnerable to warming temperatures and variable precipitation. To ensure safety and adapt to these changes, operators require high-resolution monitoring of snow depth across these diverse surfaces, as natural snow accumulation dictates ice growth rates, route viability and road stability. This study extends our polarimetric radar method, previously demonstrated on pack ice, to landfast sea ice, tundra, and frozen lakes and assesses how well we can retrieve snow depth over these surfaces. Results indicate consistency with earlier sea ice analyses, maintaining a mean snow depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over the landfast ice. Promising performance is also found over frozen ground using Ku-band (mean biases less than 6 cm). To address the specific challenge of lake ice, which includes strong returns from the ice/water interface, we present a new interface-detection technique that simultaneously retrieves snow depth and ice thickness. While current validation focuses on undisturbed snow, this approach could provide a path forward for characterizing the cryospheric environment in a way that can directly support the optimization of winter roads…”
