get_layer

Various layers of B.C., including administrative boundaries, natural resource management boundaries, census boundaries etc. All layers are available in BC Albers (<https://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/nad83-bc-albers/>) equal-area projection, which is the B.C. government standard. The layers are sourced from the British Columbia and Canadian government under open licenses, including B.C.
