Many cities have adopted this technology, yielding promising results in developing localized models. However, there are only a limited number of recent Canadian examples, partly due to the high costs of model construction and maintenance. Canadian cities continue to face numerous challenges even when utilizing open data and software. To democratize open data-driven urban model development in Canada, we must understand the current open data landscape and explore how available open data and software can support urban model building. This paper thus reviews the Canadian open-source data landscape in comparison with world-leading cities, highlighting how model feasibility and maturity hinge on the quality and availability of accessible datasets. We then demonstrate the creation of a city-wide, spatially explicit urban model for the City of Winnipeg, Canada, using only open-source datasets and software. The findings of this research lay the groundwork for adoption in cities with similar data limitations and can inform urban planners, policymakers, and researchers about the feasibility of leveraging open data-based urban models for data-driven decision making.","PeriodicalId":47619,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geographer-Geographe Canadien","volume":"70 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cag.70069","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147715083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rural and remote communities are especially at risk due to their location in wildfire-prone areas, remoteness, and limited access or escape routes. In this paper, we examine how rural communities experience wildfire risk through a case study of the Robson Valley, British Columbia, Canada. An analysis of data collected through semi-structured interviews and focus groups with residents shows that wildfire risk is shaped by diverse socio-economic and political factors, which must be considered alongside the hazard potential for wildfire. Participants identified sensitivities related to declines in the forest industry sector and reduced capacity for fire preparedness, the potential impacts of a fire on power and transportation networks, and loss of timber supply. Limits to adaptation included the centralization of government services that changed how wildfires are suppressed—central crews are dispatched to rural areas, which can conflict with local values and attitudes for responding to wildfires. The findings suggest that rural and remote communities should be meaningfully engaged in wildfire risk management, which entails decentralizing some power and resources to communities.","PeriodicalId":47619,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geographer-Geographe Canadien","volume":"70 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cag.70065","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147636972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problem may, in part, be the frameworks we use to understand them. One potential framework that merits further research in this context is the Agricultural Heritage System. We use as our example case the Bay of Fundy's agricultural dykelands. These dykelands embody a long-enduring farming heritage since Acadian settlement but face mounting pressure from climate change and polarization among diverse interest groups (e.g., agricultural production, marsh conservation, heritage protection). Our viewpoint argues that managers should adopt frameworks that reframe dykelands and adjacent tidal wetlands or foreshore marshes as complementary, rather than competing, landscapes, to facilitate more collaborative management and governance. We discuss how treating these dykelands and foreshore marshes as an Agricultural Heritage System can capture their complementarity, emphasizing the relationships that allow the region to thrive.","PeriodicalId":47619,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geographer-Geographe Canadien","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cag.70064","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147562787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted a cross-sectional study on a rheumatoid arthritis cohort (1 April 2019–31 March 2020). Realized access was assessed using median travel times to primary and rheumatology care visits. Potential access was measured using the three-step floating catchment area method. Hot spot analysis identified geographic clusters of high and low access. Among 41,788 rheumatoid arthritis patients (68.2% female), half resided in Edmonton or Calgary. Substantial geographic variation was observed, particularly for primary care, where potential and realized access often diverged. Fort McMurray's high potential but poor realized access to primary care and southern urban centres' opposite pattern demonstrate that provider distribution alone cannot explain access gaps, highlighting broader system barriers shaping care use. In contrast, potential and realized rheumatology access were more closely aligned, though large urban-rural gaps persisted due to the concentration of rheumatologists in metropolitan areas. Comparing potential and realized access highlights mismatches between service availability and patient use. These findings provide evidence to guide future efforts aimed at reducing geographic disparities in access to care.","PeriodicalId":47619,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geographer-Geographe Canadien","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cag.70063","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147569482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 2025 Suzanne Mackenzie Memorial Lecture was a tribute to difference and a celebration of transformation. Delivered in panel style, linked vignettes by eight feminist geographers from across colonial Canada on three prompts about feminism and geography formed the lecture. Firstly, authors reflected on “What institutional, academic and political pressures and barriers have feminist geographies navigated over time in Canada? What are the benefits and dangers of institutionalizing feminist geography as a sub-discipline?” Secondly, we considered, “How has feminist geography taken up questions of coloniality and race and how can it continue to evolve, while still centering care, intersectionality, and spatial justice in knowledge production and political engagement within and beyond the academy?” And, thirdly, we responded to, “What does geographic thought have to offer feminism and what constitutes hope in and for feminist geography across diverse times and spaces?” Each panellist individually addressed these questions, presented in this publication under separate titles/subsections which, framed with a brief introduction to the Lecture itself, reflect a broad-ranging contemplation about feminist geographies past, present, and future in colonial Canada and beyond.","PeriodicalId":47619,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geographer-Geographe Canadien","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cag.70061","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147315616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
