The York Geomatics student club is holding a career fair for the geomatics industry January 31st.  If you are looking for a job in the geomatics sector, this will be a prime opportunity to get yourself in front of hiring managers who are looking for talented individuals to join their companies.  This will be a day-long event, followed by the AOLS GoGeomatics Toronto January social starting at the 7pm at Hoops Sports Bar & Grill.

The Association of Ontario Land Surveyors will be sponsoring our social so munchies like wings and nachos will be available to participants. This is a great opportunity to talk geomatics with professionals, students, and recruiters. We would like to thank AOLS for supporting our social this month. We expect a large group, so please RSVP by emailing [email protected]
