The ever evolving Canadian Geomatics Industry has lead to increased demands for specialized GIS training, and Canada has remained in top of the leading GIS education providers for many years. This page was created on the site a number of years back to highlight some of the best Colleges and Universities in Canada that offer GIS related programs. Along with the list of the various GIS education programs offered in Canada, there is also an ArcGIS.com web map that spatially displays these schools as well.
The list obviously does not contain all the programs that exist in Canada, so I have decided to work on updating it for the new year, so if you know of one that is missing from the list or have any corrections to an existing one that I already have listed then please let me know about them.
You can browse the various postings about Canadian GIS training from Colleges and Universities for more details, browse by Category or also also search with thesearch tools on the right hand side.
