Announcements
The Canadian Symposium for Remote Sensing is taking place in Yellowknife in June of 2023. We invite all members to share this information with their teams and across their jurisdictions. The call for abstracts has been published and submissions can be made until November 30th, 2022.
Who We Are
Council members come from the governments of Canada, the provinces and the territories. Council members usually represent their government’s major geomatics organizations. The council’s key objective is to advance geomatics activities between jurisdictions.
Vision
Our vision is that Canadians and governments can access the best available geographic information to support informed decision making through interoperable systems and data that are maintained in an efficient and effective manner by all Canadian jurisdictions.
