CLUMP is the Canada Land Use Monitoring Program, which examines land use from 1966 through 1986 on a five-year basis, corresponding to Canada's census years. The classification scheme consists of 15 classes which are based on air photo interpretation, field surveys and census information.
Data for the Kitchener-Waterloo UCR and 22 other Canadian urban regions can be downloaded directly from GeoGratis.
At the GeoGratis CLUMP download site, available data is coded by coverage location. Choose the year you want, and the associated areas, based on the codes listed below. Areas not included in this list are not covered by CLUMP data.

These data sets are available in UTM co-ordinates; horizontal datum is NAD 27. These data are available as ArcInfo export files, .wmf, and .gif images. Other data formats can be accommodated, as the Geospatial Centre has access to a number of conversion utilities.
This data is available for free download from the GeoGratis website.
There are public workstations in the Geospatial Centre that provide access to both ArcGIS and ArcView software programs, program extensions and data manipulation utilities. Patrons may use the GIS and image processing software in the library to view and manipulate the data. UW faculty, students and staff may copy these data to other media (for example: CD, DVD or Zip disc) for use elsewhere.
These data may be exported from ArcGIS in a choice of bitmapped formats (also known as raster graphics) including JPG, TIFF, GIF, and BMP or in a choice of vector graphics formats including AI, EPS, and SVG. Yet another option is PDF.
