Inspire the World with GIS

For almost 20 years, GIS Day has been a day of gatherings and celebration of the important work done by the GIS community globally. GIS Day is dedicated to showing, teaching, and inspiring others to use geographic information system (GIS) technology towards a better world. Esri Canada is pleased to host a virtual GIS Day celebration on November 17. Join us and see users in government, industry, and academia from across Canada demonstrate real-world GIS applications that are making a difference in our society.
