Canadian Geomatics Environmental Scan and Economic Value Study
February 2013
Natural Resources Canada’s Mapping Information Branch in collaboration with the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing and the Surveyor General Branch, is pleased to announce that a contract has been awarded to Hickling Arthurs Low Corporation (HAL) to carry out a major study on the state of geomatics in Canada. HAL's partners in the project include ACIL Tasman, Fujitsu Canada and Consulting where the primary focus for the study is to understand the current situation and emerging trends in Canadian geospatial activities and their overall direct and indirect economic value and contribution to the Canadian economy, including:
- the state of the geomatics sector in Canada,
- global trends involving geospatial information and Canada’s position relative to those trends,
- the significance and value of the geomatics sector and geospatial information to the Canadian economy, and
- the current, new and alternative roles for government, industry and academia in driving, supporting and using geospatial information.
There are two components to the project:
The Geomatics Environmental Scan will examine the current geospatial information market in Canada and profile the Canadian geomatics sector, examine current participation in international markets and evaluate the importance to Canada’s domestic market, identify technology, economic, social and demographic trends, examine the contributions of government, industry and academia and the challenges and opportunities for each, and provide an analysis of the labour market, education and training currently available.
The Economic Value Study will determine the value of open geospatial information within the Canadian economy and its contribution to competitiveness and innovation in Canada, evaluate geospatial information as a ‘public good’ in the Canadian context, and make recommendations on the future strategic direction for geospatial information in Canada with an emphasis on the roles that can be played by the government, industry and academia.
The study, managed by the GeoConnections Program of NRCan’s Mapping Information Branch is scheduled to be completed by March 31, 2014.
For further information, please contact GeoConnections Program at info@geoconnections.nrcan.gc.ca
When close is not good enough.
With the need to make real-time business decisions, having accurate, high precision location information is the key to success. Imagine if you were to enter an address into a search engine's map and clicked on street view. In many cases this could point you to the wrong location, sometimes even an empty lot. While you spend valuable time cross-referencing the location or the expense of sending someone out to confirm your address, is your client going to be waiting patiently for you, or will they move on to get a quote from someone else?
Establish current and correct addresses by replacing inaccurate input data with accurate, verified information from DMTI's unique reference database within Location Hub® Portal. Know with confidence the likelihood that an address exists. Use DMTI's unique address identifier (UAID) to identify gaps or duplication in your address data.

Learn how easy it is to collaborate with geospatial data. Everyone uses PDF files. What happens when you want to take a map from your GIS and use it outside of your GIS software? You lose the intelligence. During this session, you will learn about the geospatial PDF format and TerraGo’s GeoPDF and the tools used to create and exploit them effectively. GeoPDF is the link between GIS specialists and non-GIS savvy users. It effectively extends your GIS beyond traditional boundaries and increases productivity. The software featured will be TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS and TerraGo Toolbar.
Attendees of this webcast will learn how TerraGo software solutions allow users to:
• Publish – Deliver grab-and-go access to complex geospatial assets in an easy-to-use format (GeoPDF) over the Web
• Use – Enable field personnel to view geo-referenced maps and imagery, and enrich them with marks, notes, measurements, photos, video and more
• Share – Facilitate on-the-ground collaboration, and a common operating picture between mobile users who can exchange geo-referenced data directly
• Gather – Import geo-referenced data from the extended user network in the field back into the GIS environment for robust, up-to-date information
