Alberta Data Partnerships has created Open Data Areas Alberta (ODAA) to put extensive data in the hands of those who can use it. Datasets from six key areas across Alberta are available for no cost and under Alberta's Open Government Licence. These include earth observation, remote sensing, geospatial data, environmental data, and social and economic datasets from private industry and government.

Who we are

Alberta Data Partnerships (ADP) is a non-profit, public-private partnership created to provide long-term management of comprehensive digital data sets for our stakeholders.

Governed by a board of directors, ADP has the core purpose of maintaining and promoting the broadest possible distribution of provincial digital mapping that meets the immediate needs of the Alberta market.

Through the Mapping Data Agreement with the Government of Alberta and other key contracts with data creators, ADP is committed to making Alberta’s base mapping infrastructure more available, accessible, accurate, and affordable. ADP operates in a joint venture agreement with an operating partner, Altalis Ltd. The Altalis website is the medium through which users can access data sets. ADP also has a contract with Abacus Datagraphics to deliver Public Lands survey plans through its Badgr application.
