SUMMARY:Measuring Access to Services: International and Canadian Experiences in Rural Analysis
DESCRIPTION:(French Below) \nThe growth of open geospatial data and tools provides new opportunities to map accessibility to services for rural and remote communities. \nWith comprehensive and comparable measures on accessibility\, policy makers have the enhanced ability to put forward informed\, evidence-based policies which can improve the quality of life of entire populations. This is also a main objective of major international measurements frameworks\, such as Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). \nStatistics Canada\, together with the Centre for Rural Economic Development (Infrastructure Canada)\, are pleased to present a new Workshop Series on “Measuring Access to Services: International and Canadian Experiences in Rural Analysis”. \nFree Event \nDate: Wednesday October 13th\, 2021\nTime: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm ET\n \nThis workshop is one of a series of strategic discussions aimed at expanding our collective knowledge through concrete examples\, across Canada and internationally\, on the use of data for rural and regional policy analysis. \nAs geospatial data stewards\, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations (UN) will provide an international perspective on how they have been utilizing open geospatial data to measure access to services in rural areas. The workshop will also feature presentations from Canadian analysts within Statistics Canada and Infrastructure Canada. \n \n \nFrench \nLa croissance des données et des outils géospatiaux ouverts offre de nouvelles possibilités de cartographier l’accessibilité aux services dans les communautés rurales et éloignées. \nGrâce à des mesures complètes et comparables en matière d’accessibilité\, les décideurs ont une capacité accrue de mettre de l’avant des politiques fondées sur les données probantes qui peuvent améliorer la qualité de vie de populations entières. Il s’agit également d’un objectif principal des cadres de mesure internationaux\, tel que les Objectifs de développement durable (ODD). \nStatistique Canada\, en collaboration avec le Centre de développement économique rural d’Infrastructures Canada\, sont heureux de présenter l’atelier virtuel « Mesurer l’accès aux services : Expériences canadienne et internationale dans les analyses rurales ».  \nDate : Le mercredi 13 octobre 2021\nHeure : 10h à 12h (heure de l’Est)\nCet atelier est l’un d’une série de discussions stratégiques destinées à étendre nos connaissances collectives par des exemples concrets\, à travers le Canada et à l’international\, sur l’utilisation des données pour des analyses de politiques rurales et régionales. \nComme intendants de données géospatiales\, l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE) et l’Organisation des Nations Unies (ONU) fourniront une perspective internationale sur les façons dont ils utilisent les données géospatiales pour mesurer l’accès aux services dans les régions rurales. L’atelier comprendra également des présentation d’analystes canadiens de Statistiques Canada et d’Infrastructures Canada.

SUMMARY:Geospatial Advances to Close the Digital Divide
DESCRIPTION:Access to broadband is now a requirement to participate in modern society. The global pandemic exposed the challenges of poor access for unserved and underserved digital consumers. Significant funding from FCC\, NTIA\, and the CARES Act\, coupled with an anticipated infrastructure bill\, may provide government agencies the resources needed to fill these gaps. GIS can play a critical role in demonstrating “project readiness” for future grant applications related to expanding broadband access\, providing affordability programs throughout a region\, implementing connected smart city technology such as Internet of Things (IoT)\, and coordinating broadband infrastructure implementation projects. \nThe Michael Baker International team has gained substantial experience in broadband expansion with in-depth broadband planning\, program management\, and GIS experience for six statewide programs. This presentation will focus on the importance of accurate street address data to support the application of geospatial technologies to identify\, validate\, and define areas and structures (not just census blocks) that are unserved and underserved and determined to be available for funding. A case study will be provided on the Beaver County\, PA – Office of Planning and Redevelopment project which focuses on the field survey of addressable structures\, coordination with the public to define areas lacking high speed broadband services and identifying connectivity gap areas for future broadband expansion supporting digital inclusion for all residents in Beaver County.
