Canadian GIS and Geospatial Resources
Our Goal is to Increase Awareness of the Geography of Canada while Promoting the Use of free Canadian Geographic Information and Resources
GIS and Geomatics – Visualizing Spatial Data provides opportunities for exploration, modeling, planning, and better understanding
Canada, the second largest country in the world covers almost 10 million km² with over 243 thousand kilometres of coastline, so you can only imagine the amount of Canadian geographic information that exists. Our team of geomatics specialists have been fortunate enough over the past decade to work in every Province and Territory on a wide range of geospatial projects, thus have become very familiar with data and resources from coast to coast.
Therefore it seems fitting that an online resource like Canadian GIS .com, has become one of the top places on the Internet for the geospatial community to find Canadian geographic information and geospatial resources.
We have been helping Canadians since 2005 and continue to provide geographic information every day, focusing on GIS, Canadian Data Sources, Cartography,Geography, Education and the Geomatics Sector. Our networks that we maintain help provide us a viable medium to deliver information and interact with the broader geospatial community, allowing us to learn of new resources all the time.
We encourage you to browse our site, follow our social media accounts and let us know if you know of any information that we may be missing.

GEOMATICS RELATED BOOKS
Discover some of the latest geomatics and geography related books including some must-haves for that geographic minded person. Our geomatics library here has increased exponentially since we added the Geo Books section.
If you are an author of a geomatics or geography related book then consider sending us a review copy and we will let the Canadian geospatial community know more about it and how they can get a copy for their geomatics library.
GIS AND GEOMATICS EDUCATION
The ever evolving Canadian Geomatics Industry has lead to increased demands for specialized GIS training, and Canada remains to be leaders in geographic education providers.
Because the study of GIS often combines several technological tools, methods and procedures, students are usually required to grasp many concepts at once, therefore most programs occur at either the University or advanced College level (although GIS is occurring more and more K-12 classrooms thanks to programs like the GIS Ambassador program).
The Canadian GIS Education Programs section covers all GIS programs offered in Canada; find information about University Programs, College Programs and Online GIS Programs with program details, videos, links, student reviews and much more

CANADIAN GIS AND GEOMATICS JOBS
Geomatics employment has always been a hot topic in Canada and our GIS Job Board (GISjobs.ca) was one of the first Canadian GIS employment sites designed to help people find jobs here in the Canadian GIS sector.
Since 2004 we have helped thousands of geomatics related professionals find Canadian GIS jobs.
Job postings are not very effective if not in the hands of qualified job seekers, therefore we use social media and various networking channels to help broadcast all job opportunities on our site out to the geospatial community.
POST A JOB OPPORTUNITY
Since 2004 we have helped thousands of people find Canadian GIS jobs, and we can help get your opportunity in front of qualified job seekers from coast to coast
