As the world becomes more unpredictable, the case for Canada’s self-reliance in critical infrastructure is stronger than ever. One of the biggest gaps is in satellite navigation. Positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) have become core […]
For decades, the U.S. has been a key player in Arctic monitoring. Its satellites support climate models, disaster response, and international cooperation. Now, there are signs that the U.S. may pull back. The 2026 NASA […]
Canada’s geomatics and geospatial sector touches nearly every area of national interest — from infrastructure development and resource mapping to climate monitoring, emergency response, and public safety. It underpins smart cities, clean energy, transportation, and […]
When Canadians dial 9-1-1 today, they expect to speak with someone who can send help. This voice-based system has served us for decades. But major changes are coming. Canada is replacing its legacy emergency system with Next […]
As the U.S. proposes deep cuts to NASA and NOAA, climate scientists warn of lasting damage to the global systems we rely on to track a changing planet. In 1972, the U.S. launched Landsat, the […]
