Canadian Geographic Information Systems

Canadian Geographic Information Systems (GIS) refer to tools and technologies used to collect, analyze, and visualize spatial data across Canada. These systems combine maps with data to help understand and solve various geographic issues, such as urban planning, conservation, and resource management. By integrating layers of information—like population density, natural resources, and infrastructure—GIS enables government agencies, businesses, and researchers to make informed decisions. Essentially, Canadian GIS helps us see and understand the relationships between different geographic factors, enhancing our ability to manage land and resources effectively.
