Date and Time: February 19th, 1300-1400 EDT via GoToMeeting (connection details below)
Dear Members of the Canadian Geospatial Community,
You are invited to remotely attend and participate in the first full meeting of the Canada Forum for 2019. This meeting is open to all Canadian organisations.
The goal of the Canada Forum is to better serve Canadian needs for geospatial data and services. The Forum is an informal, inclusive organisation open to representatives from Industry, Federal, Provincial, Territorial and Municipal governments, Indigenous Organisations, Academia and Research and Non-Governmental Organisations.
The Canada Forum provides a platform for all stakeholders to increase collaboration with a focus on Canada's requirements for sharing geospatial data and information, capacity building, innovation, outreach, industry business development, and others. The forum is also intended to provide a venue for the community to improve the level of Canadian influence in the OGC geospatial standards process and related standards partners (e.g. ISO, IHO, GEO, UN-GGIM, W3C, CGSB).
More information on the Forum is available at this link
