In today's rapidly advancing technological environment, the imperative for robust digital governance has never been more critical. The rapid increase of digital technologies and data has underscored an necessity for standardized governance frameworks that not only bolster security and trust but also ensure innovation and efficiency across diverse global systems. This presentation will delve into the paramount importance of establishing and adhering to consensus-based standards in ...
This presentation will explore how Sault Ste. Marie leveraged two decades of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to craft and maintain its cutting-edge Digital Twin. Exploring the innovative applications of Sault Ste. Marie’s GIS digital twin model, which offers real-time insights allowing for collaboration and more effective decision making, this presentation showcases the transformative potential of GIS enabled digital twins. We will demonstrate how this comprehensive digital r...
This presentation delves into the dynamic realm of geomatics within Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), offering a comprehensive exploration of career opportunities within a research organization. Geomatics, the science of acquiring, analyzing, and interpreting geographic information, plays a pivotal role in the mandate of the Department including environmental conservation and protection, policy & regulatory development, and climate change mitigation strategies.Through t...
Monitoring large numbers of activities and assets from space has long been an aspirational “holy grail” for satellite remote sensing. However, lack of observational cadence, collection capacity, sufficient resolution, multisource capabilities and contextual understanding of monitored sites has meant that true monitoring has been limited to a handful of key facilities and mission use cases. Will we as an industry be able to overcome current challenges and turn site monitoring into a mainstream...
Public Safety Canada has a mandate to keep Canadians safe from a range of risks, including natural disasters, and has taken recent steps to incorporate the use of data and science into all aspects of Emergency Management. In 2020, Public Safety stood up the Data Science and Engineering Team (DSET) to provide technical expertise and quantitative risk analysis in support of major policy programs, including Flood Insurance, ...

As evidenced by the 2023 fire season, we are experiencing unprecedented fire management challenges in Canada. Innovative fire monitoring solutions can help support wildfire managers as they limit the negative impacts of wildland fires while also prioritize the positive benefits in Canada’s forested ecosystems. Opportunities for advancing fire monitoring mirror a broader paradigm shift in the field of Earth observations towards open data, large-scale analyses, and collaborative development. In...
Remote sensing and spatial analytics have substantial utility to support riverine and floodplain assessment and monitoring at extents not feasible with traditional field surveys. This presentation will provide an overview of relevant technologies such as topobathymetric lidar, sonar, and multiple imagery types, as well as processes for integrating and analyzing these data. Broad-scale, objective, and reproducible analytics allow for geographic and temporal comparison across entire...
The Carleton University Immersive Media Studio (CIMS) was awarded a New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) Exploration program grant to Imagine Canada’s Digital Twin. One aspect of the project is data governance and business models. In addition, the I Trust AI research SSHRC funded project based out of UBC, is examining the CIMS and city of Ottawa Digital Twins to assess how their creators might include preservation in their design. These research projects revealed that the Architecture, Engin...
Utilities, telecoms and municipalities are faced with increasing pressure to build infrastructure faster to meet the demands of new provincial legislature. The building broadband, transit and new homes faster acts were enacted to support the ever increasing needs of Canadian population growth from immigration. Learning how to securely faciliate the expansion of utility services required to meet the needs of a growing population is something that all utility, telecom and municipal ...
GeoIgnite is proud to present a vital panel discussion titled "Bridging Worlds: Integrating BIM and GIS for a Digital Future in Built Asset Management," featuring distinguished panelists Susan Keenliside, Deputy Director at the House of Commons of Canada, and John Hale, Vice-President of buildingSMART Canada and BIM lead at the Department of National Defence. The session will be moderated by Trevor Taylor of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC).
The agriculture and agri-food sector is a major contributor to the Canadian economy, accounting for 2.3 millions jobs and 7% of Canada’s gross domestic product with farmland covering 62 million hectares (6.2%) of Canada’s land area. This area is changing over annual and decadal time scales as a result of changes in annual crop production, urban expansion, sustainable land use/management and a changing climate. Monitoring such a vast area to account for how these environments respond to the pr...
The City of Ottawa (City) annually invests about $3M in studies of the local subsurface geotechnical, hydrogeological, and environmental conditions in support of municipal planning, development proposals, infrastructure designs, construction, and environmental protection studies. Much of this valuable information remains with individual consulting firms and in City project files, so this data is relatively inaccessible and not ready for use to internal and external stakeholders.
Canada is big, really big! Mapping the whole country took us over 100 years to complete. Through the years, the techniques used to map Canada's features evolved.For NRCan, the latest innovation is in the operational implementation of Artificial Intelligence tools and approaches, nested in high performance cloud computing capacity, and build via micros-ervices for agile and scalable deployment. This capacity, enables the organization to increase exponentially its capacity to create and ...
