CanadianGIS.com is an extension of my web site that I started back in 2006 after I noticed that there was a real need to have somewhere on the web to help find Canadian GIS resources. And although there were a few other websites starting around that time related to GIS, nobody else was really dedicating a site to Canadian GIS topics.
The site has evolved slightly with a few functions or sections being added to it as time went on but it has always been primarily used to promote the Canadian GIS industry and to share information with other Canadians that also have an interest in GIS. It also went well together with GISjobs.ca, another GIS site that I created to help Geomatics students find Canadian GIS jobs much easier. GISjobs.ca turned out to be a real success and eventually led to the creation of GoGeomatics, a Canadian Geomatics job board site that allowed people to post GIS jobs for free.
CanadianGIS.com helps provide people with resources about Canadian GIS data, basic information about Canadian companies that provide GIS services, locations of Canadian data and maps, information about GIS events, places to find Canadian GIS employment and education info and many other great resources. Content for the site been created by me and a few volunteers with some has also been supplied by various GIS companies and academic institutions.
If you have not yet checked the site out then I encourage you to go and see for your self, and if you discover that there is information related to Canadian GIS resources that I have missed then please do let me know. – Join the Canadian GIS LinkedIn Group
