Online applications such as Google Earth and Microsoft Bing Maps have resulted in exponential growth in the use of Internet mapping, but they have data limitations. Business analysts, planners and decision makers across a range of disciplines and business sectors are increasingly experiencing the benefits of visualizing and analyzing their information through a geographic lens.

Sites such as the GeoBase Portal offer online access to a wealth of freely available, authoritative Canadian geospatial framework data that can be integrated with other information to produce informative maps. The Webcast is based on the recently completed Framework Data Guide developed by GeoConnections. Those who would be interested in participating include practitioners in the public health, public safety and security, environment and sustainable development, and Aboriginal matters communities of practice with an interest in learning more about how to find, use and apply geospatial framework data.

If you would like to participate, or if you would like more information, please contact Rhian Evans by e-mail at revans@nrcan.gc.ca, or by telephone at 613-947-0464.
