Geomatics is a professional discipline that uses a systematic approach to simplify everyday problems by integrating various
means to incorporate and manage data with spatial information.
Geographic Information Systems (more commonly referred to as GIS)
is an integral component of Geomatics that has been highly active in Canada over the past few decades and continues to
flourish as the technology further develops and becomes more affordable.
