Data is a vital role in geomatics related projects and for many years we have been helping people find Canadian data resources. We maintain several growing lists of mapping resources that are freely available to the geospatial community, from mapping applications that you use directly online or data that you download and use with your GIS software. Below is a list of Nova Scotia Maps & Data Resources that we gathered for the Geomatics Association of Nova Scotia to use on their website.

If you discover any problems with any of the links listed below or know of other good resources that we have not yet included below then please let us know so we can make that information available to the geospatial community.
