43rd Canadian Cartographic Association Conference at COGS
2018-05-30 08:00 - 2018-06-02 17:00 | COGS, 50 Elliott Rd, Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia, B0S 1M0, Canada
For the first time, the CCA is holding its annual meeting at COGS in Nova Scotia. There is a long history between these two parties. In the 1980’s COGS hosted two GIS Summer Institutes, supported by the CCA. At the beginning of the decade, NSLSI (now COGS) acquired new mini-computer technology. In the search for mapping software which would run on PRIME computer, we contacted Esri in California. We acquired both GRID and PIOS. Later, Scott Morehouse and Dave Bishop came up to install an early version of Arc/Info. This established the long term relationship between COGS and Esri.
Both Michael Goodchild and Roger Tomlinson came to Lawrencetown to participate in the GIS Summer Institute. Tomlinson was engaged with Ray Boyle to look at the redesign of the Cartography program.
This Summer, at the CCA meeting, Michael Goodchild will return as a keynote speaker, as well as Ken Field, Cartographer at Esri. COGS Cartography alumni Edie Punt and Clint Loveman will host mapping workshops on ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud. A third workshop in Open Source Web Mapping is available from Scott Emmons of UNBC.
The other focus of the conference is community mapping. Marcel Morin, a COGS graduate, will describe his involvement in the UNESCO World Heritage site at Grand Pré and his work mapping with indigenous peoples of Canada. Ed Symons will present the results of the collaborative research with MapAnnapolis.

The presentation lineup includes a mix of technical, research and community focus with talks on topics such as the politics of mapping Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick, Indigenous Cartographies of Arctic Places and Spaces: A critical turn in the mapping of Greenland, A Biography of Robert Bell: On the Trail of the Great Stone Chief, Applications of 3D Printing in Physical Geography Education and Urban Visualization and so much more.
Preliminary details on the conference can be found on the CCA website. A more detail agenda will be available later in April.
What’s new in the Annapolis Valley?
If you have spent time at COGS in Lawrencetown, you should make a note of the new craft brewery (Lunn’s Mill Beer Company) and also the Beaver Creek Winery.
At the college, aside from the Walter Morrison Map Collection, you may be interested in the new program on Geospatial Data Analytics.
In Nova Scotia, as elsewhere in Canada, there is a renewed interest in mapping by the indigenous (Mi’kma’ki) community.
Registration is now open for the 43rd Canadian Cartographic Association conference, May 30 – June 2nd at the Centre of Geographic Sciences, Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia.
Not a member of the Canadian Cartographic Association but have a passion for maps and cartography? Not a problem … everyone is welcome!
CCA is a passionate group promoting interest in maps and cartographic material and creating opportunities to network and share ideas. If you have a passion for maps and community, join us Lawrencetown. We look forward to reconnecting with old friends of COGS, as well as recent graduates from Cartography programs across the country, and beyond.

Peterborough GoGeomatics Geocaching Adventure - Year end!
2018-05-16 18:00 - 21:00 | One Eighty Hunter Street, 180 hunter street, Peterborough
Let’s go GeoCaching! Rather than meet in a dark bar and talk about geomatics lets meet up and go geocaching. Not only that lets make some new geocaches for others to find.
To start we will meet at our regular location at 180 Hunter. From there we will sort out our new caches and discuss our choices over a beverage and where we will put them on our adventure. We need to be clever so that they are challenging to find and of interest to the future cacher. From there we will set out to find our first cache and place our first cache. More details to come closer to the date! I am really looking forward to going on this adventure with all of you. If it is raining we will schedule a new date and just have a regular inside meeting.

Ottawa GG: Geoff Zeiss Talk: Mapping Underground Infrastructure
2018-05-08 18:00 - 21:00 | James Street Pub, 390 Bank St., Ottawa, K2P 1Y5
GoGeomatics Ottawa hosts world renowned location technology expert: Geoff Zeiss.
Geoff Zeiss has more than 20 years experience in the geospatial software industry and 15 years developing enterprise geospatial solutions for the utilities, communications, and public works industries. His particular interests include the convergence of BIM, CAD, geospatial, and 3D. Geoff received the Geospatial Ambassador Award at Geospatial World Forum 2014.
His talk for the group is “Mapping Underground Infrastructure: The next Frontier of Remote Sensing”
Abstract: The next frontier in remote sensing technology is mapping below ground including geology and utility and transportation infrastructure. The biggest source of highway construction project delays are unknown or inaccurately known underground utility infrastructure. Utility hits cost the U.S. economy an estimates $1.5 trillion in direct costs annually and many times that in indirect costs. The latest remote sensing technologies for geolocating underground infrastructure are making it easier to map underground infrastructure and the development and improvement of standards for sharing underground infrastructure location information has been initiated by the OGC, ASCE, and others.
We hope you will join us for the talk. As always GoGeomatics socials are fun free networking events.

Northern Ontario GIS Users Event
2018-04-25 08:30 - 15:30
URISA Ontario is a non-profit, volunteer community of individuals and organizations who share and innovate in geospatial information knowledge and expertise. With over 1,000 members and associates, URISA Ontario supports professional development through networking opportunities, programs and services. Our goals are to proactively encourage individuals and organizations to participate in the geospatial information community. We recognize excellence and innovation through our award and bursary programs and encourage personal professional development through our various volunteer opportunities.
The event in Thunder Bay will focus on two main areas of interest in the geospatial information community:

The cost of capturing LiDAR and Imagery data has come down rapidly, and there are options for capturing LiDAR and imagery data for small site specific projects or for large land areas. Several presentations at this conference will cover how to capture LiDAR and imagery what to consider and how to use the data. These presentations will be followed by an expert panel question/answer and discussion session

Many effective geospatial solutions depend on field data capture and presenting the information in a user friendly application. These presentations will focus on case studies applying data capture solutions and developing end user applications. These presentations will be followed by an expert panel question/answer and discussion session.

Call for Presentations:
Do you have experience in either of these areas that you would like to share? This conference is an opportunity to share your project, lessons learned and opportunities. The panel discussion period provides an opportunity to collaborate with the geospatial information community.
Presenting at this conference provides an the opportunity to share your experience and gain recognition from your peers. Many presenters have also found that in sharing experiences, they connect with other geospatial professionals working in similar areas, and gain a valuable network.
Presenters will receive 1 complimentary registration to the conference (limit 1 registration per presentation). Submit your presentation idea online: Submit your presentation idea
Registration (due to Easter Holiday, Early Bird rate extended to April 8)
