Reference Maps
Reference maps show the location of geographic areas for which data are tabulated and disseminated.
The maps display the boundaries, and identifiers, as well as major cultural and physical features such as
roads, railways, coastlines, rivers, and lakes. (Click here to view.)
Interactive Atlas
Wellness Atlas
The dynamic and highly configurable atlas allows users greater flexibility to explore the regional variations of
the wellness data. The downloadable images are more engaging than static images. The Wellness Atlas
presents information in a geographical context (Health Service Delivery Areas), revealing spatial variations and
patterns across British Columbia. The complete Wellness Atlas of British Columbia can be downloaded from www.geog.uvic.ca/wellness/.
We strongly recommend reading the following: How to use the Wellness Atlas

Thematic Maps
A thematic map shows the spatial distribution of one or more specific data themes. The map may be qualitative
in nature (e.g., number of liquor store outlets, number of schools by school district, or number and type of regional offices) or
qualitative (e.g., percentage population change). Thematic maps present data such as population
so that geographic patterns in the data are more easily understood across multiple regions. THematic maps can
be produced for a variety of administrative boundaries. (Click here to view.)

Interactive Data and Health Map Browsers
BC Stats is providing this test site for interactive, thematic data display. This ARC/IMS web-mapping application
will allow users to select a variable from a vast array of socio-economic data. The geographic units used are
LHA (Local Health Areas) and HSDA (Health Service Delivery Areas), both analytical boundaries used within
the Ministry of Health. This browser will allow clients to perform analysis on "normalized" data across multiple health geographies.

Translations and Data Sets
BC Stats maintains files for translating various data across administrative regions. These files can be accessed
through the BC Stats website directly. Included in the translations section is the Translation Master File (TMF), which can
be purchased through BC Stats. Various boundary shapefiles are available upon request.
