GeoConnections helps decision-makers use online location-based (or "geospatial") information, such as maps and satellite images, to tackle some of Canada's most pressing challenges. The program focuses on working with partners in public health, public safety and security, the environment and sustainable development, Aboriginal matters, and geomatics technology development.
Public Safety & Security
Using location-based information, public safety and security organizations will increase their situational awareness by better understanding incidents—and their management options.
Public Health
Public health practitioners can use location-based information to securely track pandemics, analyze trends, and monitor population health, thereby improving the health of Canadians.
Aboriginal Communities
Location-based information connects Aboriginal people and their communities, enabling them to map their futures, manage resources, and capitalize on opportunities.
Environment
Location-based data excels in supporting integrated approaches to land and water management, environmental assessments, and ecosystem monitoring—essentials for a healthy environment.
Developers
The Developers' Corner provides developers with access to the standards and other technology information they need to create in-demand applications for the CGDI.
