GoGeomatics Canada is kicking off the new school year this September, and welcoming everyone to our Canada-Wide Back to School Socials. We encourage new and returning students to come out to this, our third Annual series of free events, and enjoy a much-needed study-break. Mingle with students from other programs, industry professionals, and managers. The

Canadian geomatics community is close-knit, and these socials are a great way to build up contacts for co-op placements, internships, and jobs.

The Canadian Geomatics Community is growing!  We Now have 11 GoGeomatics Canada Groups!  Let us know if you want to start a group in your community.

Not a student? That’s okay, you’re invited too! Come out, meet some students and help welcome them into the industry. We would love to see people from all areas of geomatics like GIS, remote sensing, and surveying at this free community event.

Like free stuff? So do we! You’ll enjoy free snacks like wings and nachos at this event, and you’ll even have the opportunity to win some prizes, including t-shirts, geospatial books, and more.

This event marks the third annual GoGeomatics Back to School Socials.  It’s the start of a brand new season for monthly GoGeomatics socials across Canada with the help of our Gold level sponsors, Esri Canada, the Geospatial Information & Technology Association (GITA), and the Canadian Institute of Geomatics (CIG).  We also want to thank our Silver city level sponsors who are supporting the socials in their communities.  They are Digital Globe, the Langara Open GIS program, Stantec, Selkirk College, Brandt, McElhanney, GM Blue Plan, Lim Geomatics, G-Locate, Kim Geomatics, and our media sponsor the Canadian GIS & Geomatics Website.

Across Canada, we are expecting approximately 300 to 400 geomatics folks coming together from coast to coast, in 11 communities: Vancouver, Nelson, Kelowna, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Niagara, Peterborough, Kingston, Ottawa, and Halifax.
