A map of Canada is colour graded corresponding to a relative risk scale 0.01- >5. The colours show projected relative risk is greatest for the Prairie regions of Canada (4- >5), with the southern part of the region being at greatest risk (>5). Most of the province of British Columbia is at risk (3- >5). Yukon and Northwest Territories range from values of 2- >5 for various regions. Southwestern and southern Ontario have relative values of 3-5, most of the rest of Ontario is value 2. Most regions of Quebec are value 2 or with a value of 3. Atlantic Canada is similar to Quebec.
