Data by Theme

The University of Calgary has a collection of spatial resources organized by theme (e.g., energy, crime, transportation, weather) available online. Most resources are open and accessible to the public.  However, resources that state that you must contact SAND to  access the file are licensed content and are not available to SAIT students.  If that occurs, contact LibraryDataRequests@sait.ca with the organization and file name to determine if it can be accessed via the SAIT Library.
