Welcome to our Blog

Welcome to our Blog! We've created this forum to offer you a uniquely Canadian perspective on all things GIS. Our goal is to provide you with the latest information on topics that matter to you while creating conversation around areas of interest.

We’re delighted to introduce the Esri Canada Blog: a forum we’ve created to offer you a uniquely Canadian perspective on all things GIS. Our goal is to provide you with the latest information on topics that matter to you while creating conversation around areas of interest.

Consider this a one-stop resource to see how others are using GIS, learn about new products and developments, read what’s new in SDI across Canada and the globe, keep abreast of the Community Map of Canada Program, and much more. Posts will be authored by experts within our organization.

For searchability, we’ve organized content into several categories that can be accessed using the left navigation bar. Blog posts are also tagged with keywords to make content even easier to locate. The latest posts will always appear on the homepage, and content will be refreshed regularly. Categories include:

News & Updates: See what your peers are accomplishing with GIS and check out cool maps and apps that are being developed using Esri technology. Stay up-to-date on the latest news pertaining to the Community Maps Program, Esri, Esri Canada and the GIS industry.
