Proactive disclosure Print version | Geomatics for Northern Development
The Geomatics for Northern Development program is one of the Earth Science Sector's Priority Programs. The objective of the program is to provide geospatial data to support sustainable development and investment in Canada's North through the use of geospatial information.
The Earth Sciences Sector and its partners will provide consistent, reliable and distinct user-defined northern geomatics information. Working with the issue owners/stakeholders, the Sector and its partners will customize the Geomatics Canada outputs to identified requirements. This will help the northern communities to make informed decisions on social, economic and environmental development. Federal, territorial and First Nations/Aboriginal governments will increase the use of spatially related information needed to provide for investment and a certain quality of life. Geomatics Canada will ensure that it meets NRCan's survey system related obligations under various pieces of legislation that form the basis of the property rights systems. The northern geospatial information will be easily accessible to clients through Canadian Geoscience Date Infrastructure and other media.
