We are excited to announce that the next Canada Forum will be held during the GoGeomatics Expo in Calgary, from October 28th to 30th. This event will bring together key stakeholders from across Canada’s geospatial sector, including industry leaders, academics, indigenous communities, government representatives, and technologists, to continue vital discussions on advancing geospatial standards, interoperability, and spatial data infrastructure (SDI) in Canada.

The new Canadian Hydrospatial Network (CHN) is set to replace the National Hydrographic Network (NHN) for Canada. Designed for improved use in hydrological models, the CHN is analysis ready with full-network traversing ability, and value-added attributes such as stream order. The CHN is also created from higher-resolution source data and better aligned to elevation than the NHN, where possible, and has been streamlined for production and maintenance.Work is on-going to refine methods a...
How exactly does artificial intelligence work and what can you use it for in the geomatics domain? Using real-life examples from our projects, they demonstrate how you can use AI to gain new insights and increase efficiency by automating your data processing workflows.We explore how GeoAI is fusing spatial data science and Geomatics technology to help automate the extraction, classification, and analysis of all types of spatial or non-spatial data. Learn how GeoAI can detect clusters, ...
Maintaining undisturbed habitat is key to the recovery strategy of the Woodland Caribou boreal population. Seismic lines have been identified as a human footprint feature that requires specific attention for habitat restoration in part because linear features are linked to increases in the predation rates of caribou as they provide lines of sight and easy transportation routes for predators. It is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of kilometers of seismic lines within Alberta (AB...
Large-scale habitat inventories are necessary for understanding how human land-use, natural disturbances (e.g., fire) and climate change are influencing ecological processes, species declines and how restoration can address these changes. Within the boreal forest of Alberta, Canada anthropogenic habitat alteration, also referred to as human footprint or the physical disturbance of a landscape as a result of human activity, covers over 19% of the land area. Much of this human footprint is not ...
In 2021, the Government of Canada invested $63.8M in the Flood Hazard Identification and Mapping Program (FHIMP) to to create and disseminate engineering-level flood hazard maps that can help Canadians better plan and prepare for future flood risks. The program was recently extended to 2028 through the National Adaptation Strategy and enhanced with an additional $164 Million investment.Given that many Canadians are unaware of flood hazards, the FHIMP is working to fill gaps in knowledg...
The government of Alberta manages the production of riverine flood studies under the provincial Flood Hazard Identification Program, to assist communities in keeping Albertans safe and protecting their properties from floods. Flood maps improve public safety, support emergency management, and help us build safer and more resilient communities. The government of Alberta also manages the production of alluvial fan studies to help Albertans learn about flood risks in the steep terrain of Alberta...
Methane is a greenhouse gas that has a global warming potential 80 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Reducing methane emissions from industrial facilities is one of the most effective ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This talk gives an overview of GHGSat’s approach to providing stakeholders actionable data by detecting, geolocating, and quantifying methane emissions using our fleet of space-based and airborne instruments.

Case Study: How DOTs and Utility owners took a Proactive Approach to Protect Underground Pipeline Assets Due to aging infrastructure and lack of accurate utility location information resulting in huge increased operational risk & especially at waterway, transportation, and ROW utility crossings. Utility owners understand the significant underground congestion and utility conflicts which result in future damages and the value the importance of geo location of UNLOCA...
RPAS platforms and sensors have come a long way since their commerical adoption almost a decade ago and have quickly become a main stay of many professional's tool kits. This show's the industry's appetite for adopting new technologies and matching them up with the right application. With a pannel of very experienced professionals from various sectors of Canada's Geospatial RPAS scene, we explore what has driven sensor development and how sensors might further develop along the lines of use c...
Led by the World Geospatial Industry Council (WGIC) and moderated by Aaron Addison, Executive Director of WGIC, this panel will explore the transformative role of Earth observation (EO) technologies in fostering a resilient and sustainable future for Canada. With growing environmental challenges such as climate change and resource management, EO solutions provide essential insights into monitoring ecosystems, disaster resilience, and sustainable development. Panelists from diverse sectors wil...
How do hydrographic surveys, aerial Remote Sensing and GIS help with environmental efforts? Terra explores 2 projects that use a combination of different sensors and visualizations to achieve these goals. The projects include a rapid marine data collection supported by Aerial LiDAR to aid in rescue efforts of a trapped Orca cafe, and using LiDAR with GIS to support change detection efforts of a major land slide.
Earth Observation technologies have experienced unprecedented innovation and accessibility over the past several years. The role of the commercial sector has stepped in to offer several capabilities historically only available from government. This session will focus on examples of how EO technology is being...
