Data Sources & Attribution

Explore Metro Vancouver uses publicly available information and appropriately licensed government datasets to help visitors discover destinations throughout British Columbia.

Some information is derived from government open-data sources. The acknowledgements below apply only to licensed datasets actually reused on published listings. Ordinary factual research and independent calculations keep a research citation in the CMS without appearing here as a licence claim.

No licensed government datasets are currently attached to published hiking listings. When an editor approves a measurement reused from a verified open-data licence, the required acknowledgement will appear here automatically.
