Description: Shows the regional boundary jurisdiction between York Region and neighbouring regions. The municipal boundaries define the limits of the Region's nine area municipalities: Aurora, East Gwillimbury, Georgina, King, Markham, Newmarket, Richmond Hill, Whitchurch-Stouffville and Vaughan. In 2007 an extensive investigation and clean-up of the municipal boundary locations was completed which included: snapping the boundaries to the road centrelines (which were spatially adjusted to the orthophotography in 2005); recalculating the boundary along Highway 404 to follow the 150 feet west of the centre line of the highway as outlined in the 1970 Regional Municipality of York Act; spatially adjusting the boundary along the Holland River to coincide with the centre of the river as illustrated in the 2005 orthophotography; spatially adjusting the boundary along Lake Simcoe according to the recent corrections completed by the Lake Simcoe Regional Conservation Authority according to the 2002 orthophotography; and several areas often questioned by users of the municipal boundary data were clarified in cooperation with the local municipalities.For the York Region Official Plan – 2010, Office Consolidation Fall 2018.

Name: Significant Groundwater Recharge Area - LSRCA
Display Field: MAINWSHD
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: Significant Groundwater Recharge Areas of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority. Significant Groundwater Recharge Areas are recharge areas that are characterized by permeable soils, such as sand or gravel that allow the water to seep easily into the ground and flow to an aquifer. A recharge area is considered significant when it helps maintain the water level in an aquifer that supplies a community with drinking water, or supplies groundwater recharge to a cold water ecosystem that is dependent on this recharge to maintain its ecological function.
