DMTI Spatial, a Canadian location intelligence company, has recently been awarded the Domestic Vector Data Set contract by the Ministry of Public Works and Government Service Canada (PWGSC) as a result of the exceptional quality of its CanMap® geospatial datasets. The exclusive contract will provide numerous government departments with critical location-based information to help make vital policy and planning decisions. In the past, the Canadian government has used DMTI Spatial’s data to support the operations of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, the 2010 G20 Summit in Toronto and the G8 Summit in Huntsville, among other initiatives. This contract provides various federal government departments with critical location-based information to help make important policy and planning decisions affecting the lives of all Canadians.
