Description: This Shapefile consists of the bounaries for two MPA's :Tarium Niryutait and Anguniaqvia niqiqyuam. Canada's Oceans Act gives us the ability to establish Marine Protected Areas to conserve and protect unique habitats, endangered or threatened marine species and their habitats, commercial and non-commercial fishery resources (including marine mammals) and their habitats, marine areas of high biodiversity or biological productivity, and any other marine resource or habitat requiring special protection. The Tarium Niryutait Marine Protected Area is made up of three spatially seperate areas called Niaqunnaq, Okeevik, and Kittigaryuit. These areas evolved from the Beluga Management Zone 1a. As of May 2008, the creation of the MPA is awaiting Gazetting, with an estimated date of completion sometime in the Fall of 2008. Anguniaqvia niqiqyuam was designated on November 16, 2016, as an MPA under the Oceans Act. Please see DFO webpage for more details :http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/oceans/mpa-zpm/index-eng.html

Description: Shapefile downloaded by NWTCG on Feb 3, 2015. File received from SLUPB website has titled SLUP_Zoning_Jan9_2015.shp. Shapefiles were updated from final SLUP (that became effective Aug 8, 2013) because of change of status in Naats'ihch'oh, from SLUPB website:"On December 17, 2014 the Naats'ihch'oh National Park Reserve received royal assent. Effective this date, the SLUP no longer applies within the new national park reserve boundaries (per MVRMA Section 34). Users of the SLUP should note the new boundaries for Zone 41 (Naats'ihch'oh). Lands wihin Zone 41, not included in the new national park reserve, will remain zoned as Proposed Conservation Initiative (PCI) until the SLUP is amended."This shapefile contains the final zoning of the Sahtu Land Use Plan (SLUP). The following are the zone types and description, with a recommended colour for displaying them. Each zone type applies different conditions and restrictions on development, managing land use in different ways.General Use Zones (GUZs) - WhiteThese zones allow for all land use except bulk water removal, subject tothe general CRs outlined in the Plan.Special Management Zones (SMZs) - YellowThese zones allowfor all types of land use other than bulk water removal, subject to the general CRs and applicable special management CRs outlined in the Plan. Special management CRs may differ between special management zones; some are limited in application to specified zones.Conservation Zones (CZs) - GreenThese zones are significant traditional, cultural, heritage and ecological areas in which specified land uses are prohibited. Permitted land uses (anything not prohibited, or grandfathered uses) are subject to the general CRs and applicable special management CRs outlined in the Plan.Proposed Conservation Initiatives(PCIs) - Red with Green HashThese zones are areas for which formal legislated protection is being sought through the Protected Areas Strategy, pursuant to commitments under the SDMCLCA, or under Parks Canada's legislation. The establishment of a protected area is the intended use of PCIs and is permitted. PCIs have the same status as Conservation Zones in the Plan until they are protected under other legislation. Section 2.2 of the Plan describes the application of the Plan during the establishment of PCIs, and following the establishment of legislated protected areas.Established Protected Areas (EPAs) - Light GreyThis is the designation given to all legislated protected areas once they are fully established. Once an area is designated as an Established Protected Area, the Plan no longer provides direction to these areas. Instead, they are managed according to their sponsoring legislation and management plans (where applicable). As such, EPAs are treated separately than the four zone types in the rest of the Plan.The land use zones were established through extensive consultations with communities and gradually refined based on available information and consultation with other planning partners. Each of the zone types serves a purpose. General Use Zones are the economic engines of the region, promoting sustainable development, generating revenues and providing jobs. Special Management Zones share the same purpose, while also protecting the cultural and ecological values of these zones. Conservation Zones and Proposed Conservation Initiatives protect the areas most important to communities for future generations, contribute to ecological representation goals and may provide locations for the establishment of ecological benchmarks for the long-term maintenance and monitoring of ecological integrity(1)._____(1) Submission on Ecological Benchmarks by PAS Science Team, dated Mar 12/08

Description: The Dehcho Land Use Planning Committee was put in place by the Dehcho First Nations Interim Measures Agreement (IMA) signed in 2001. The Committee has developed a Land Use Plan for the Dehcho territory. This report is the Plain Language Summary of the Plan. The goal of the Plan is to promote the social, cultural and economic well being of residents and communities in the Dehcho territory, having regard to the interests of all Canadians. The Plan is based on respect for the land, as understood and explained by the Dehcho Elders, and sustainable development. The Plan explains how the land, water and resources will be protected, developed and used. Land within community boundaries and the Nahanni National Park Reserve is not part of the Plan. Elders played an important role in guiding Plan development. Traditional land use and occupancy is not managed or restricted through the Land Use Plan; it is completely exempt from the Plan. The Plan will help the Dehcho Process negotiations but the negotiators are free to take any position in negotiations; they are not bound by anything in the Plan. Approval of this Plan will not have the effect of recognizing, denying or altering Aboriginal rights, Aboriginal title, or Treaty rights. The Plan does not apply to minor land uses that do not need permits or licences. Existing uses, emergencies and clean-up of contaminated sites are exempt from the Plan. The Plan will be carried out by the Dehcho First Nation(s), the GNWT and Canada. All governments will start using the Plan on the day the Plan is approved. For Canada and the GNWT, they agree to use all their power under laws to make sure new land uses meet the rules in the Plan. Through Plan approval, Dehcho First Nation(s), the GNWT and Canada, and all government departments, agree to try to do all the activities they are told to do, and to use all the suggestions in the Plan when they make decisions on land in the Dehcho territory. After the Dehcho Final Agreement is signed, the Land Use Plan will be looked at again to make it match the agreement. Then the Land Use Plan will be made into a legal document.

Description: Heritage ValueNagwichoonjik (Mackenzie River) was designated a national historic site of Canada because:- it is prominent as a cultural landscape within the Gwichya Gwich’in traditional territory;- it is culturally, socially and spiritually significant to the people; - the history of life on the land and along the river is remembered through names that are given to a great number of places on the land and along the river.The heritage value of Nagwichoonjik (Mackenzie River) is reflected in the cultural landscape along the river that reflects the river’s role as a principal repository of the stories (oral histories) that suffuse with meaning the history of the landscape as the Gwichya Gwich’in know it. The traditional lifestyle of the Gwichya Gwich’in has been shaped by their close connection with the land and the river, and many points along the river play an essential role in the transmission and survival of Gwich’in culture. Nagwichoonjik represents the complex sets of relationships between the Gwich’in people, their traditional lands and their past, before and after the arrival of the European explorers.Sources: Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada Minutes, June 1997; Commemorative Integrity Statement.Character-Defining ElementsKey elements that contribute to the heritage character of the site include:- the Mackenzie River and the land along its banks between Thunder River and Point Separation in its location and as a dramatic river valley consisting of a wide waterway, beaches, high cliffs in some places and gentle slopes in others, cut with many creeks, and displaying human impacts from pre-contact to modern times;- archaeological evidence of Gwich’in use, including camps, settlements, fisheries, quarries, connecting trails and trail heads, burial places, ritual and sacred places;- the health and wholeness of the riparian ecosystem (its water quality, quantity, rates of flow, sandbars and siltation, fish quality, the health of species such as inconnu and moose;- the undisturbed land and unimpeded views of the river and along the valley from the river; - sacred sites along the river (currently being identified by the Gwich’in Cultural Institute);- ritual sites along the river (currently being identified by the Gwich’in Cultural Institute);- Gwich’in knowledge of traditional place names along the river.Historic Sites and Monuments Act, 1997/06/05from: http://www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=9161Nagwichoonjik is managed by the Gwich’in Tribal Council, a First Nations governing body established pursuant to the Gwich’in Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement (1992), working in co-operation with Gwich’in organizations like the Gwichya Gwich’in Council of Tsiigehtchic and Gwich’in Social and Cultural Institute along with various government agencies including Parks Canada. Parks Canada has worked closely with these Gwich’in organizations in developing a Commemorative Integrity Statement for the Nagwichoonjik National Historic Site of Canada. This important document identifies what is meant by commemorative integrity at this site and forms the basis for future planning, management and operation of the Nagwichoonjik National Historic Site of Canada. (http://www.pc.gc.ca/APPS/CP-NR/release_e.asp?bgid=618&andor1=bg)The Nagwichoonjik National Historic Site was designated in 1997 as an Aboriginal Cultural Landscape. It includes a 175 km stretch of the Mackenzie River from Vihtr'ii Tshik (Thunder River) to Srehtadhadlâîî (Point Separation), making it the largest National Historic Sitein Canada. The boundaries of the site reach 5 km inland from the river to ensure that all the major archaeological and cultural sites affiliated with it are included (The Canadian Encyclopedia, http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0010484)

Description: The data was originally drafted onto hard-copy 1:250,000 NTS map sheets and then was digitized by Mutli-imaging into Autocad drawing files in 1995. All original digital data was received 13th of November, 1995 in Autocad DXF files. The data was converted to ARC/INFO coverage format.All theme layers were digitized by map sheet. They were separated into the individual theme layers and merged together. Some data was missing so non-linear data was digitized from the hard copy maps into the Roots digitizing system and then converted to ARC/INFO coverages. If the data were straight lines, lat/long coordinates were used to create a line file. All missing data was then merged with the original coverages. All polygons were closed and centroids added and then cleaned to establish topology.Changes have been made to individual layers as the Regulations have changed. The name has changed to reflect the year of the changes. The individual theme layer metadata will record any updates. THe have been no updates to the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary since the Regulations have been passed.The data was initially created as coverages and had limited distribution. In June 2001, it was decided that most users of this data did not need to know the origin of the line work. It was only required in case the location of a line is ever questioned so a secondary set of coverages were created in which the lines were simplified. This makes the data easier to use. E00 and shapefiles have been created using the 'simplified data' and all will have a simlar naming structure. ie original file BDRLIC96distribution BRDRL96DE00 file BRDRL96Dshapefile BRDRL96DBecause one of the original reasons that the digital layers were created was to support the Wildlife Act and Regulations, and as the linework used to outline each polygon was either digitized, or came from other sources and at varying times it was decided that a record was needed of the origin of each line segment that formed the boundary of each polygon.To record the information about each line segment, two attributes, SOURCE and DATE were added to each layer linework attributes.The first attribute, SOURCE is the source of the linework. Each value in the attribute field is described as followsNTS250 Data were mapped and then digitized from 1:250,000 NTS sheets. The original data was digitized by John Alexander of Multi-imaging, the DATE 11/13/95 was attached to all John Alexander's work as this was when it was received by NWTC RS, any missing data was digitized by Gerren Saskiw.LEGIS Lat/Longs from the legislation, ARC GENERATE was used to create coverages (XLINE*), which were projected to the Lambert projection and then the lines extracted and added to the appropriate coverages1:4MILLION An approximate boundary between Greenland and Canada derived from a 1:4 million scale map of Canada (polar bear and wildlife management units only) 12 mi buff Canada has a 12 mile territorial sea boundary which was generated using the ARC BUFFER command and land boundaries from the NSDB hydrography layer (barren-ground caribo and wildlife management units only)SMOOTH The boundaries of the Canada-Greenland border and the 12 mile sea boundary did require some manual 'smoothing' to reflect the actual respective boundary line (ie. eliminating bays and adjusting the boundary between Ellesmere Island and Greenland (spliting the distance)FMSMITH Changes to the Forest Management Zones layer that have been created by Forest Management in Fort Smith.The second attribute, DATE is the approximate date the data was received and entered into the databaseNOTE: These linework attributes are not included in the distribution version.

Description: The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) monitors air quality in the Northwest Territories (NWT). ENR maintains and operates the NWT Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Network, which consists of four monitoring stations located in Yellowknife, Inuvik, Fort Smith and Norman Wells. Each station continuously collects information on any pollutants in the air as well as temperature, wind speed and wind direction. The Yellowknife, Inuvik and Fort Smith stations are operated in partnership with the National Air Pollution Surveillance (NAPS) program – a joint federal/provincial/ territorial monitoring network that tracks regional air quality trends across Canada. rainwater & snow quantities, precipitation & air chemistry, and ground level Ozone are monitored at Snare Rapids and Wood Buffalo National Park as part of the Canadian Air and Precipitation Monitoring Network (CAPMoN).
Description: This data represents the Human Disturbances Dataset for the North Slave Region, South Slave Region, Sahtu Administrative Region, and Inuvik Administrative Region (and/or Inuvialuit Settlement Region)using information from the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board, Wek'eezhii Land and Water Board, Gwich'in Land and Water Board, Sahtu Land and Water Board, Inuvialuit Water Board, and Nunavut Impact Review Board registries by Caslys Consulting Ltd. between 2000 and 2023. (Note this dataset extends across all of the NWT and into a portion of Nunavut to provide information across the Bathurst Caribou Range, which straddles the territorial boundary.).This was part of the Human Disturbance Mapping project for the GNWT, where a series of spatial datasets were created with the key objective to create an accurate and up-to-date human disturbance footprint that can be used to help make future land and water management decisions. These datasets were created based on existing baseline GIS data, aerial and satellite imagery, as well as permit records from registries with associated online archives..Modelling and other landscape GIS analyses that use this information may benefit from combining all point, line and polygon datasets into a single disturbance footprint that best represents the sum of all input files. It is recommended that this process be completed by first applying GIS buffer functions to point and line feature classes. This provides the advantages of having a more true representation of disturbance footprint with the ability to calculate spatially explicit functions, such as determining the area of the total disturbance. Using the ‘PointArea_Ha’ (Permit_Data_Points) and ‘LinearWidth_m’ (Permit_Data_Lines) fields respectively, users can calculate the buffer distance for each record in the point and line feature class files. The values in these fields do not represent the buffer distance itself, but can be used to calculate an appropriate buffer distance that can be added to an additional buffer-distance-field..Using the date fields and seasonal date fields, the user may develop queries that will allow human disturbance information to be displayed for a specific time period. Refer to Section 3.2 in the Human Disturbance Mapping Report (Caslys, 2015) which lists the fields that can be used to accomplish date-specific queries, as well as the Technical Guide - Selection by Date (Caslys, 2015) which outlines the query syntax..Along with the content created through this mapping project, several other GIS map layers should be used to create a comprehensive representation of the human disturbance footprint. Primarily, roads that have been previously mapped have not been re-captured under the scope of this project. Therefore, any modelling that is developed to map the human disturbance footprint should include other map layers managed by NWTCG. Refer to Section 3.1 in the Human Disturbance Mapping Report (Caslys, 2015) for a list of recommended map layers to be included in this process. As well, refer to the (NWT Cumulative Impact Monitoring Program) Inventory of Landscape Change Map Viewer to view a series of map layers that all contribute to the total development footprint.

Description: The Land Use and Sustainability Framework (LUSF) sets out a vision to guide its decisions about land use and land management. The vision embraces the spirit and intent of sustainability and stewardship. The concept of stewardship speaks to the need for everyone to take responsibility for lands, water and resources and to work collaboratively to safeguard what is important. With Devolution, the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) became the steward of resources on public lands throughout the territory.Contaminated sites are areas of land or water where chemical or physical hazards exist that pose, or are likely to pose, a risk to human health or the environment orwhere contamination exceeds specific levels under environmental standards orguidelines. A contaminant can include any substance which can adversely impactair, soil, and water. Contamination can result from commercial or industrial activity, improper waste disposal, improper chemical storage, or chemical leaks and spills. A physical hazard can include any inert physical feature which could pose a risk to theenvironment, and/or the health and safety of persons or animal life.Contaminated sites may be found at locations throughout the Northwest Territories (NWT). Under the LUSF, the GNWT has indicated that we will support the sustainability of the land by ensuring that environmental conditions are known and impacts to the land are prevented, monitored and mitigated to maintain ecologicalintegrity and biodiversity.

Description: The Contaminants and Remediation Directorate (CARD) is currently responsible for nearly 100 contaminated sites in the NWT, at various stages of remediation (clean up). This directorate brings together all of the work done by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) associated with federal contaminated sites in the NWT. Many of these legacy sites became the Government of Canada's responsibility after private owners relinquished their properties according to the legislation of the day, or when companies went bankrupt. In past years, the properties then reverted to the Crown, and as representative of the Crown, INAC became custodian of these properties and related remediation activities. With new regulations in place that require new development to support the future costs of reclamation, similar reversions are prevented.10-Step Federal Approach to Contaminated SitesINAC follows a defined 10-step process for addressing federal contaminated sites to ensure that there is a common approach to the management of contaminated sites. For the purposes of mapping which stage the NWT sites are in, the 10-step process has been broken into 5 categories: Assessment, Pre-Remediation (Priority Site), Remediation, Monitoring, and Remediated/Closed. Assessment Step 1: INAC identifies sites that might be contaminated, based on activities (past or current) on or near the site.*Step 2: INAC assembles and reviews all historical information pertaining to the site.Step 3: INAC begins initial testing, which helps us to start to characterize the type of contamination at the site, and determine what condition the site is in.Step 4: INAC classifies the contaminated site using the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) National Classification System. It is then assigned a priority for future investigations and remediation or risk management actions.Pre-remediationStep 5: INAC tests specific areas of concern identified in Step 3, and does in-depth investigations and analysis.Step 6: If necessary and depending on the result of the investigation, INAC reclassifies the site’s priority ranking. Step 7: INAC engages partners, Aboriginal communities, and stakeholders to develop a site-specific remediation or risk management plan to address contamination issues.Remediation Step 8: INAC implements the site specific remediation or risk management plan that addresses contamination issues.Step 9: INAC conducts confirmatory sampling and analysis to make sure the remediation was successful.Monitoring Step 10: INAC conducts long-term monitoring to make sure that remediation and long-term risk management goals are achieved, as required. Once the site is completely remediated, it may be closed (Remediated/Closed, 14 sites in the NWT are currently in this phase).Remediated SitesFor sites where the monitoring phase is complete or for sites where all contaminants have been removed from site and therefore there is no residual risk to manage, they have been listed under "Remediated Sites". Those that existed prior to Devolution were transferred to the GNWT. New sites that become "Remediated Sites" could be considered for future land transfer.* Note that traditional knowledge is used throughout the project lifecycle, from assessment through to monitoring and closure.For more information on the identified contaminated sites, visit:www.aadnc-INAC.gc.ca/eng/1100100026218/1100100026222Remediation of contaminated sites in the NWT is made possible with support from the Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan (FCSAP), a program aimed at reducing the environmental and human health risk, and associated federal financial liabilities, from known federal contaminated sites. More information about FCSAP is available at:www.federalcontaminatedsites.gc.ca.IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT SITES LISTED IN THIS DATASET, CONTACT US:Contaminants and Remediation DivisionIndigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, NWT RegionP.O. Box 1500Yellowknife, NT X1A 2R3Phone: 867 669 2416Fax: 867 669 2721ntcard@aandc-aadnc.gc.caLa Direction des polluants et de l’assainissement (DPA) compte actuellement sous sa responsabilité plus de 100sites contaminés dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest (T.N.-O.) qui en sont à diverses étapes d’assainissement (dépollution). La Direction travaille à réunir toutes les activités d’Affaires autochtones et Développement du Nord Canada (AADNC) liées aux sites contaminés fédéraux dans les T.N.-O. Bon nombre de ces sites contaminés sont passés sous la responsabilité du gouvernement du Canada lorsque des exploitants privés se sont départis de leurs propriétés, conformément à la législation de l’époque, ou lorsque des entreprises ont déclaré faillite. Au fil des ans, les propriétés ont été retournées à la Couronne, et AADNC, en qualité de représentant de la Couronne, en a assumé la garde ainsi que la responsabilité des activités d’assainissement s’y rattachant. Pour éviter d’autres réversions similaires, de nouvelles dispositions réglementaires prévoient désormais la prise en charge des coûts de la remise en état par les exploitants.Les 10 étapes de l’Approche fédérale en matière de lieux contaminésPour garantir une gestion uniforme des sites contaminés fédéraux, AADNC applique un processus en 10 étapes. Afin d’aider à connaître la progression à l’égard des sites dans les T.N.-O., les étapes sont regroupées sous l’une des cinq étapes suivantes : évaluation, activités préalables à l’assainissement (site prioritaire), assainissement, surveillance et assainissement terminé/fermeture. Évaluation (19 sites dans les T.N.-O.)Étape 1 : AADNC cerne les sites qui pourraient être contaminés d’après les activités (passées ou présentes) menées sur ce site ou à proximité.Étape 2 : AADNC recueille et examine toutes les données historiques se rapportant au site.Étape 3 : AADNC amorce les essais, ce qui permet de commencer à définir le type de contamination au site et de déterminer la condition de ce dernier.Étape 4 : AADNC classifie le site contaminé au moyen du Système national de classification (SNC) des sites contaminés du Conseil canadien des ministres de l’Environnement (CCME). Il est ensuite possible d’attribuer un ordre de priorité au site en vue des activités futures d’analyse, d’assainissement ou de gestion du risque.Activités préalables à l’assainissement (site prioritaire) (63 sites dans les T.N.-O.)Étape 5 : AADNC mène des essais dans les zones préoccupantes relevées à l’étape 3 et procède à une étude et à une analyse plus approfondies.Étape 6 : AADNC révise la classification de la priorité du site, au besoin et en fonction des résultats de l’analyse. Étape 7 : AADNC fait appel à des partenaires, aux collectivités autochtones et aux parties prenantes afin d’élaborer un plan d’assainissement ou de gestion du risque propre au site en vue du traitement des problèmes de contamination.Assainissement (4 sites dans les T.N.-O.)Étape 8 : AADNC met en œuvre le plan d’assainissement ou de gestion du risque propre au site en vue du traitement des problèmes de contamination.Étape 9 : AADNC procède à l’échantillonnage de confirmation et à l’analyse pour confirmer la réussite des activités d’assainissement.Surveillance (9 sites dans les T.N.-O.)Étape 10 : AADNC mène une surveillance à long terme afin de veiller à l’atteinte des objectifs d’assainissement et de gestion durable du risque, suivant les besoins.Une fois les activités d’assainissement terminées à un site, il est possible de fermer ce dernier (assainissement terminé/fermeture, 14 sites dans les T.N.-O.).Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur les sites contaminés connus, visitez le site suivant : http://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/fra/1100100026218/1100100026222.L’assainissement des sites contaminés dans les T.N.-O. a été mis en œuvre grâce à l’appui du Plan d’action pour les sites contaminés fédéraux (PASCF), programme visant à réduire le risque pour la santé humaine et l’environnement ainsi que le fardeau financier fédéral associé aux sites contaminés fédéraux.

Description: The feature class comprises points and data generated/translatedfrom an excel spreadsheet containing bathymetric information fromvarious Land & Water Board public registries. Additional water licences were identified, reviewed, and incorporated into the spreadsheet during the review process against all files on the Public Registry.The public registry sources are listed below:Inuvialuit Water BoardGwich’in Land and Water BoardSahtu Land and Water BoardWek’eezhi Land and Water BoardTransboundary LicencesMackenzie Valley Land and Water BoardBathymetric information was collected by proponents under the NWT regulatory system and is contained within individual project files on the Land and Water Board (LWB) Public Registries. The data has been used for calculating water source capacity for water withdrawals and completing fish habitat assessments. Data compilation occurred in stages by Region and Activity. The first phase was completed in 2022, including available information from several Regions and Activities. The second phase includes the remainder of the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board activities and additional Water Licences added to the Public Registry after Phase 1.Data collection followed a common protocol. The LWB Public Registry website was accessed and filtered by Region, Authorization, and Activity. Each Water Licence webpage was then accessed and searched for bathymetric data. Information collected for each water source includes regulating Land and Water Board, project and water licence number, report reference, preparer, collection date, water body name, coordinates, surface area, maximum depth, average depth, ice depth, lake volume, volume of ice, and lake volume under ice cover. Estimated data is indicated as such within the spreadsheet. The data has been spot-checked for accuracy, with approximately 10% of hyperlinks tested and data checked for coordinate conversion and transcription errors. An Excel spreadhseet was created containing bathymetric information.This excel contained coordinate information that was used to spatialize the points of this data into this feature class. Pertinent attributes were included during this spatialization, some standardization was applied to different values of this data. I.e. Changing any Proponent value that had some variation of GNWT & INF(GNWT - INF, GNWT INF, GNWT Infrastructrure, etc.) to 'GNWT-INF", or fixing spelling errors in data values like 'Exporation' to "Exploration"and "Resurces" to "Resources". No data values were altered in a way that would reflect anything different than what was there originally.
