About this map
An open Alberta map that puts rural internet performance next to geographic access to 24-hour emergency departments, so a household or community can see both at once.
The map covers all 6,203 Statistics Canada 2021 dissemination areas in Alberta. Colour the polygons by measured download speed, CARI+ emergency access, advertised 50/10 coverage, or logged dwelling counts. Search a municipality, filter rural areas, or sketch approximate internet supplier types.
Who it is for
- Residents checking how far they are from a 24-hour emergency department
- Municipalities and First Nations comparing measured speeds with official coverage maps
- Researchers joining remoteness, connectivity, and dwelling stock
What you can do on the map
- Look up CARI+ 24-hour ED scores (0–18 standardized, 0–1 normalized) for your dissemination area
- See the computed road-network minutes and kilometres to the nearest hospital-based 24-hour ED
- Compare that with M-Lab NDT measured download, upload, and latency
- Filter tests by supplier type (fibre, cable, DSL, fixed wireless, mobile, satellite)
Limitations
CARI+ measures geographic access only. It does not include emergency wait times, temporary department closures, or air- and boat-only travel. M-Lab tests are user-initiated and often geolocated to a city centroid. ISED 50/10 bands are advertised household share, not a speed test.
