Catalogue record only, not the data files. Each dataset declares its own licence. Served by Eden Engine; not an official Province of British Columbia product.

Data source

BC Data Catalogue

Dataset records from the BC Data Catalogue (catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca), Province of British Columbia. Each dataset declares its own licence in `licenseId` and `licenseTitle` (for example the Open Government Licence - British Columbia, or Access Only); follow it and credit the publisher named in `organization`. Served by Eden Engine; not an official Province of British Columbia product.
