Peter Hettstedt
Peter was introduced to Surveying while working as a research assistant in the Yukon, and upon completion of his degree from the University of Calgary in 1987, worked as a surveyor and Party Chief for an exploration company in both Africa and the Middle East. Once kids came along, he didn’t want to be an absentee parent, and he transitioned into a sales role promoting new Survey technologies, including GPS, Reflectorless Total Stations and in 2001 the introduction of LiDAR to Canada. He has been involved with various aspects of LiDAR technology ever since. He now works as Business Development Manager for J.D. Barnes Ltd. and its subsidiaries, including First Base Solutions and Onsite Locates Inc., and still loves to talk about and promote LiDAR.

Opening Remarks by GeoIgnite founder Jonathan MurphyKeynote address: Geospatial Opportunities in COVID TimesGeospatial capacity has been helpful in providing answers to Canadians during a time where nothing seems normal anymore. At the forefront of tracking, reporting and managing the response to the COVID crisis are geospatial tools, data and leadership. Natural Resources Canada’s Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation supported the Government of Canada’s response b...
The U.S. reference system modernization effort will replace the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) with a new North American Terrestrial Reference Frame (NATRF2022), creating 1.3 to 1.5 m horizontal coordinate differences at the Canada–U.S. border with respect to Canada’s NAD83(CSRS). Never before have such significant differences existed between our two countries’ reference frames.There are compelling reasons for Canada to follow suit and adopt the NATRF2022 frame as our ...
Presented by: Jake Dickinson & John Roos Abstract: As shrinking polar ice creates new opportunities for resource exploration and shipping routes, the importance for Arctic nations to monitor the ongoing expansion in the Arctic is ever increasing. Additionally, climate change continues to impact people and the environment. High resolution satellite imagery remains one of the most effective means of monitoring inaccessible and de...

In recognition of the increasing costs and risk due to flooding, the Government of Canada is investing in flood mapping as part of the Government’s commitment to build safer and more resilient communities. Flood maps are critical for the public to understand their flood risks, and the availability of up to date flood hazard maps are key to strengthening the resilience of Canadian communities to overland flooding. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has been working in collaboration to advance...
Title: DEIL experiments and outputs with open geospatial dataThe Data Exploration and Integration Lab (DEIL) at Statistics Canada has implemented a number of projects using, to the extent possible, open georeferenced data and open source tools. This presentation outlines some of this work. We will present recent developments of the Linkable Open Data Environment (LODE), examples of the use of LODE data, the development of a Proximity Measures Database and Data Viewer, and an R&amp...

Abstract:The total cost of underground infrastructure damage in Canada during excavation work is estimated to be over $1 billion dollars annually. The primary cause of these damage incidents is the lack of reliable information on the location and other information about buried utilities and other infrastructure. The Canadian Underground Infrastructure Register project is intended to improve the current damage prevention process by providing access to reliable data t...
