As an Open City, the City of Edmonton will create opportunity for diverse input and participation, inviting Edmontonians to play a larger role in shaping the community and enabling social and economic growth.

After each federal census, the City places a custom order with Statistics Canada to produce neighbourhood-level cross sections of census data for Edmonton.

Statistics Canada provides their data in .ivt format. The benefit of this format is that it allows users to explore multi-dimensional datasets in a variety of cross tabulations. For example, an .ivt file that contains data for neighbourhood, age, gender and income could be used to generate a table of counts by neighbourhood, further broken down by both income and age group, by age group and gender, etc.

In order to provide this data to open data users as soon as possible, we have directly uploaded the .ivt files to our portal. Note that they are compressed into .zip format and will need to be extracted in order to be used.

You can open .ivt files with the Beyond 20/20 Professional Browser (https://www.statcan.gc.ca/en/public/beyond20-20), which is free to download. If you’re looking for some support on getting started using the software, Carleton University Library has a repository of resources (https://library.carleton.ca/guides/help/beyond-2020-how-use-beyond-2020) including video tutorials and PDFs.

This raster file was created as a result of a 2013 to 2016 study done for the Edmonton area to determine the vulnerable areas of Edmonton in regards to a 1 in 100 year rainfall event.

Due to the constant changing of subsurface infrastructure (adding, upgrading, etc.) combined with the constant changing definition of a 1 in 100 year rainfall event (based on historic rainfall amounts), this raster file reflects the results of a study done in 2016 and should neither suggest previous year’s vulnerabilities nor future year’s vulnerabilities.

There are four different colours to show the depth of water that might pool on the ground during a large rainstorm.

Those colours are:

Green (representing a ponding depth from 0.00 - 0.35 m)
Yellow (representing a ponding depth from 0.35 - 0.50 m)
Orange (representing a ponding depth from 0.50 to 0.75 m)
Red (representing a ponding depth greater than 0.75 m)

This dataset is based on 2014 information and will not be updated further. The model is based on a theoretical, worst-case scenario storm that has never occurred in the Edmonton area.

Model Accuracy:

For Areas west and central Digital Elevation Model was used from 2004. For the rest of the areas Bare Earth LiDar data was used. The surface data used was set to a horizontal resolution of 2.5 meters with a grid cell of 5m by 5m. This puts the vertical resolution at an accuracy of 0.1 meters.

This is a spline fit interpolations model. This is a 1D-1D model with 2D interpolations.The accuracy of the information provided in these data sets is plus or minus 10 cm vertically, and 10 cm horizontally.

The 100 year flood was based on the 2015 Edmonton 4 year Chicago storm event over 20 plus neighbourhoods. The data is a collection of the worst case scenario of model runs.
This is a common practice for Edmonton drainage models. These models are high level concept and projects determined from this data set will undergo finer, more detailed modeling.

This is a 3D model of the City of Edmonton, based on the 2019 building outlines (https://data.edmonton.ca/Geospatial-Boundaries/City-of-Edmonton-Rooflines-as-of-2019-/jpxi-a9a5) and 2019 LiDAR data.

Please note this is a static dataset based on data from 2019, so newer buildings may not be present.

Edmonton was nationally recognized by the Public Sector Digest as “Canada’s Most Open City” for 2015 and 2016 and was awarded the prestigious GTEC Medal for “Excellence in Service Delivery” in December of 2016. Building upon these past accomplishments, this Open Data Strategy is a measurable action plan to enhance Edmonton’s robust Open Data Program by increasing the volume and quality of free and accessible machine-readable data, creating opportunities for informed citizens to discuss innovative opportunities for growth and realizing the economic and social value of open data.

This raster file was created as a result of a 2016 study, using 2014 data, done for the Edmonton area to determine the vulnerable drainage and sewage areas of Edmonton in regards to a 1 in 100 year rainfall event.

Due to the constant changing of subsurface infrastructure (adding, upgrading, etc.) combined with the constant changing definition of a 1 in 100 year rainfall event (based on historic rainfall amounts), this raster file reflects the results of a study done in 2016 and should neither suggest previous year’s vulnerabilities nor future year’s vulnerabilities.

For a more regional Edmonton area breakdown of the Study’s results:

There are three different colour to the vulnerability of the roadways and the corresponding ponding depth that would occur for that area during a large rainstorm.

Those colours are:

Green (representing the depth from surface that sanitary flows can surcharge from less than 2.5 m)
Yellow (representing the depth from surface that sanitary flows can surcharge from 1.5 to 2.5 m)
Red (representing the depth from surface that sanitary flows can surcharge from greater than 1.5 m)

This Raster file is best viewed overlaid with the 2016 Flood Mitigation Study - Drainage and Sanitation Surcharge Map; as the various coloured areas follow the subsurface infrastructure (and the corresponding roadways if you are also viewing the street map as a layer).

Model Accuracy:

The LiDar used was a 5 meter grid system. LiDar has an accuracy of ? cm horizontally/vertically. Bare Earth LiDar was used in for this model surface.
This is a spline fit interpolations model. This is a 1D-1D model with 2D interpolations.The accuracy of the information provided in these data sets is plus or minus 10 cm vertically, and 10 cm horizontally.

The 100 year flood was based on the 2015 Edmonton 4 year Chicago storm event over 20 plus neighbourhoods. The data is a collection of the worst case scenario of model runs.

This is a common practice for Edmonton drainage models. These models are high level concept and projects determined from this data set will undergo finer, more detailed modeling.

These maps are a visual representation and intended to be used when prioritization of the best engineering solutions that are scheduled to be brought forward to Utility Council to mitigate future flooding in the City. The best engineering solutions are high level concept designs and require further modeling and design. At the time of the PDF release, November 9, 2016 there was no funding for any projects to be completed or for further design. Strategy will be brought forward to Utility Committee on June 7, 2017. Council will be determining funding and rate of project completion.
The Storm size used in these models are larger than Edmonton has historically seen. Historically, as seen in 2004 and 2012, only 4 neighbourhoods at a time were hit with the 100 year rainstorm event. With th
