ESRI Canada today presented an Award of Excellence to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture’s Geomatics Services Group for improving access to the province’s agricultural spatial data using ESRI’s geographic information system (GIS) technology. In 2008, the Ministry launched the Agricultural Crown Land Map Viewer, an online mapping application that allows the public to search and view information and imagery of government-owned agricultural land. This has enabled the Ministry to support better decision making among internal and external stakeholders and promote sustainable development. The award, which recognizes outstanding achievements in the application of GIS, was presented yesterday at the 2010 ESRI Canada User Conference in Regina. Learn More
