Last night’s social, which happened at the James Street Pub, was a great success! We had a total of 47 attendees which included students, entrepreneurs, teachers, professionals, and guest speaker Dr. Andrew Davidson. Andrew has a background in remote sensing and currently works for Agriculture Canada. He spoke to the group about the difficult process that is getting hired in the Federal Government. We would like to thank him for the great talk!

Here are some photos we took last night:

Thank you to all who attended! We hope you had a great night. Join us for our next social happening Friday, February 28th! We are going to have the former Director of the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing, Dr. Bob Ryerson, talk about the future of the remote sensing industry in Canada. Dr. Ryerson is an award-winning scientist, author, and senior executive in both government and industry in the remote sensing and geospatial field. He has been an invited speaker on every inhabited continent, and has been an elected leader of his field in both the USA and Canada. A Certified Mapping Scientist and Fellow of the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, he has provided advice to and/or in more than forty countries world-wide in the area of mapping, geospatial analysis, and remote sensing.

For those of you who couldn’t make it out last night, here is a link to Dr. Andrew Davidson’s presentation: The Art of Successfully Applying to Government Jobs in Geomatics
