Living Atlas items Retiring December 2025

Get the latest updates on the Esri Canada Living Atlas items that are Retiring at the end of 2025.

Esri Canada is dedicated to providing relevant, and up to date authoritative content for our Canadian customers within the Living Atlas. After conducting a thorough audit and with careful consideration, we have chosen to Retire and remove the following items from the Living Atlas. (see table below)  

These items are currently published to ArcGIS Online through the esri_canada account and will enter Mature Support on October 27th. Access to these items will be available through the Living Atlas until December 31, 2025.  After this date they will be Retired and will no longer be accessible.  The underlining data within each of these items can still be found online at the original data source. If you are using any of the items listed within your maps, apps or workflows, links to each item’s original data source have been provided in the table below.   

If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to our Living Atlas team (livingatlascurator@esri.ca).
